Justin Sider is D!ckless | Season Ended | ★ ★ ★ ★ ½ Many queer-centred performances during this year Fringe World start with an acknowledgement of country, respecting the First Nations people of the Whadjuk region, along with informing people they are in a momentarily LGBTQIA+ safe space; with a trigger warning. This intro is refreshing, allowing […]
After a sell out run, the 3 Broke Gays are returning for two nights only to the Rechabite. This show, featuring Perth LGBTIQA+ comedians Cody Lam, Jackson Canny and Charlotte Glance brings together the best of their collective talents for 50 minutes of belly laughs. “After such an amazing reaction from audiences this Fringe World […]

5 + 1 | Big Top | SOLD OUT | ★ ★ ★ ★ I really loved this show. 5+1 is a contemporary relationship story performed in an eclectic mix of dance, gymnastics, acrobatics and theatre.

Hold Close | State Theatre Centre of WA | Season Ended | ★ ★ ★ ★ Inspired by Ingrid Tan’s 2009 digital artwork and graphic comic novel which became an online viral sensation of the same name; Hold Close. Hold Close is otherworldly, a space filled with forest creatures, where elves and fairies delight. Be part of […]
YAAAS KWEEN | Girls School | til Feb 13 | ★ ★ ★ YAAAS KWEEN could be called the modern D Generation. I’d have a fair guess many of the participants met at university. I’d make another bet that some of them are Monty Python fans. The whole show is a series of comedy skits. The […]
How To Drown A Fish | Girls School | til Feb 7 | ★ ★ ★ This is a romcom, a genre I’m not a fan of. I usually find romantic comedies predictable and the storylines quite bland and How to Drown a Fish fell squarely into its genre. One modern, affirming point of difference is […]
