FRINGE – Cabaret – Burlesque Assassin – Nexus – 2.5K
While this was an interesting, darker take on burlesque, it didn’t really meet the standard one might hope for, both in terms of sensuality and apparatus prowess. 2.5K

FRINGE: Mothlight – Ezipark – 4.5K
It is sufficient to say that this was one of the most original events I have ever been witness to, and that ‘Mothlight’ is one of those Fringe gambles which can pay off or drastically disappoint you. 4.5K

FRINGE: World War Wonderful – Wonderful Sisters – Austral – 3.5K
Wonderful entertainment in a genre that sadly, as they point out, never looks like being out of fashion or need. 3.5K

FRINGE: Beer Drinking Woman – Spiegeltent – 4.5K
A phenomenal blues and jazz singer, Hughes’ voice is amazing, and as somehow who has previously reviewed her work it is difficult to come up with original adjectives which I have not already rhapsodically used to describe her, such as ‘truly remarkable’, ‘sublime’, and ‘perfect’. 4.5K

FRINGE: Bygone Error – Cabaret – SA Folk Centre – 4.5K
Paul and Christian Reynolds know how to turn on a show, to get a crowd going 19th century style with good songs and guests, alliterations and innuendo, all at ‘enormous expense.’ Their patter is machine gun like in its delivery, they are consummate performers and the blend of young and old works a treat. 4.5K

FRINGE: Eurodiva – Cabaret – Zoo – 4K
The best thing about this show is that it’s live, a theatrical cabaret spectacle with a 7-piece big band who pump out some beautiful tunes, kudos to them. 4K

FRINGE – Cabaret – The Spaces Between – Arcade Lane – 4K
This is potentially a five star show which is currently being held back by some disappointing sound issues. Hopefully these will get sorted out as the run progresses, but for now, go to the show for the emotional experience and buy one of their EPs to hear the music in its intended form. 4K

FRINGE: Cabaret – Tom Tom Crew – Garden – 5K
Best show I have ever seen. It was incredible, the energy, the atmosphere, the content. It was vibrant, fast paced and exciting. A real adrenalin rush, you wont believe your eyes. 5K

FRINGE: Cabaret – Burlesque Upon A Time – Nexus – 3K
But despite all of these flaws, ‘Burlesque Upon a Time’ was really good fun. It’s like an evening out with a good friend – you can’t logically explain what you did that made your night entertaining, or why you enjoyed yourself, but you just did. 3K
