Reclaiming Harry
‘Reclaiming Harry’ is an incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking show that explores the world of Harry Potter from a new and refreshing perspective. The production, presented by Rich Watkins Productions, is an imaginative and fabulously queer quest for a new writer for Harry Potter, who has been “Goblet of Fire-d”. The brilliantly written show stars three talented actors; Jens Radda as Harry, Jemma Allen...
Amos Gill
Amos Gill’s stand-up comedy, The Pursuit Of Happy (ish), is a must-see for anyone looking for a good laugh. When I say ‘anyone’ though, he does begin the show saying he’s “not for everyone”, then proceeds with some material that provides a very clear indication that we’re in for a no-holds-barred adrenaline and somewhat confronting ride.

If the gods were actually on Tinder, I think Emma has captured it perfectly in her aptly named song, “If the gods were on Tinder”. Her cheekiness, humour and...
Electric Skies
Following a week including a heatwave, wind warnings, bushfires and a thunderstorm, thankfully the skies weren’t literally electric and we were blessed with perfect weather for this outdoor Adelaide Fringe event. The crowd made their way into Pakapakanthi/Victoria Park and the atmosphere was indeed electric. At the risk of too many electric puns, this reviewer will refrain from inducing groans and move onto the main subject....
What a Bobby Dazzler!
Bobby Dazzler* by name and by nature. According to Sarah Millican… *‘Bobby Dazzler’ is the purest compliment. Imagine a child in red wellies or a woman in a new top. Both are Bobby Dazzlers. It is also the name of a caravan cleaning spray. This show is not about cleaning caravans. Sarah Millican lives up to her dazzling reputation in her new stand-up comedy show ‘Bobby Dazzler’. In this, her sixth international tour,...
