Fringe World Review: Toby Halligan is The Bad Gay Pelican12 February 2016 Considering Halligan is an established comedic writer I was surprised with how sloppy the show was.

PIAF Review: Five by Night – Ballet at the Quarry (WAB) Pelican12 February 2016 I appreciated the aesthetic of their glistening, rippling abs and iron thighs as I lounged back and quaffed wine, completely enthralled by their sure footed athleticism in pointe shoes.

Fringe World Review: The Trepidation of the Tower Traipsing Troglodytes Pelican11 February 2016 Creators Katie-Rose Spence and Hannah Pascoe have devised a wordless show about human connection, using memes and YouTube clips, pictures of Jeff Goldblum, cardboard cut-outs, and most importantly, their own elastic bodies to tell their quirky little narrative.

4.5 SIA – This Is Acting (Inertia / Monkey Puzzle / RCA) Pelican9 February 2016 This is Acting probably seemed like a great idea on paper - Sia taking back songs that she’s written for others, and making them her own.

Fringe World Review: Club Briefs Pelican8 February 2016 The boys were nubile and sensual, and even I felt conflicted as the 4 Adonis’ savaged the raffle winner with a lap dance (and more).
