Tomás Ford (Live) AKA Things Are Gonna Get Weird

If you've seen Tomás Ford perform before, then you'll know the sense of giddy excitement I felt when I saw the title of his new show. Weird done Tomás Ford's way is a delight and this performance certainly hit the mark. Tomás Ford (Live) AKA Things Are Gonna Get Weird is like his earlier show...

The Sad Truth: Reading and Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Well, it's been too long since I've taken the time to sit down and write. It's also been too long since I've read anything. Why? Because I got four wisdom teeth extracted. Not having done the recommended thing and had this out of the way at an age under 25, I was convinced that it...

Jamie Oliver’s Wild Rice & Brussels Sprouts Salad – Done My Way

Eating this salad is like picking wildflowers in the mountains. A mouthful of this zesty, sweet, crunchy dish and you’d swear you can feel the fresh air pinching at your cheeks as you pluck yet another gorgeous flower.  You'd imagine it to be cool and dewy, yet sunny and glorious up in the mountains where you’re certain...

The Natural Way of Things

It's International Women's Day and I thought it might be nice to write about words, in a book, that are written by a woman. Good idea, right? Charlotte Wood's The Natural Way of Things was an unputdownable book, for me. It wasn't that I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next, it was that I almost didn't...

The End of Fringe

Well, it's happened. Fringe World is over for another year. It had to be this way, I know, but there is now somewhat of a void in my life. I saw over 50 performances and would have liked to write about more of them. It turns out that so many shows in four weeks - and...

Stuart Bowden: A Series of Portraits

You know that feeling, when a room becomes another world? It’s as though everything else ceases to exist when the door closes. I get this feeling when I see Stuart Bowden’s performances and I think other people do too. Stuart Bowden: A Series of Portraits brings together five different shows – one per night –...

Sami Shah: Alive

Perth has been missing Sami Shah. No, really, it’s true. He left us and moved to Melbourne about a year ago and things just haven’t been the same. But, the thrilling news is that he’s back for Fringe World 2017. This year’s stand-up show, Sami Shah: Alive, features Sami’s trademark observational humour and social commentary....

If My Body Was A Poem – Maddie Godfrey

In a first floor room with open windows surrounded by light green window panes, we see Maddie Godfrey stretching on the floor ahead of our seats. She has headphones on and seems so calm, happy, and comfortable. If My Body Was A Poem is a powerful performance that leaves the audience absolutely silent throughout most...

The True Fringe Experience

Fringe festivals are renowned for offering shows that reflect a huge array of genres. The range of experimental or alternative content is pretty broad, too. So, what exactly is the ultimate Fringe experience? To me, it's something that you wouldn't see in mainstream entertainment. I like performances that satisfy my insatiable hunger for relevant, honest, and conscious political...
