The Melbourne Fringe Festival is back! I've seen four shows with @NarrelleMHarris, and we've reviewed:
- How to Art (absurdist physical comedy taking on the art world);
- Murder in the Graveyard (an improv version of a Christie-like murder mystery);
- Sincere Apologies (an audience-run series of apologies from past, present and future);
- Motion Sickness (text and music combine to give a glimpse of the cosmos).Read our reviews here, free to all: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140943635

Fun piece of active art:
"There’s no rule saying you can’t dance in Fed Square – but as of this week, it’s actively encouraged. As part of this year’s Melbourne Fringe, the space is playing host to Power Move, a centrepiece work of this year’s festival.
"The usually sandy expanse has been broken up with a block of colour, designed by local street artist Drez. Unlike most artworks, the idea is that people walk over and through it, using their movement to bring it to life."

I had a brief appearance on stage Saturday night, at a Fringe show I was attending with reviewers' tix.
In Villains, a drag parody of Disney's villains, I was selected along with another bearded bloke to be the 'Captain Hook' character's henchmen and do a fan dance while wearing a sailor's beanie. We basically followed the main henchman's lead and ended with fluttering the fans behind us as if tails. It was very popular.
You'd be amazed how often this has happened over the years! Odd to end up in a show you're supposed to be reviewing.
Anyway the show is excellent, much recommended if you're after something raunchy with fabulous costumes (and an excellent dissection of the concept of villainy): https://melbournefringe.com.au/event/villains-a-dizney-in-drag-parody/

In another round of Fringe shows, @NarrelleMHarris and I review a simulated Zoom call between two estranged brothers; an amazing physical theatre act with no words; and a wild show in which four people achieve a variety of tasks while running on treadmills.

That was a laugh - @NarrelleMHarris and I just saw the latest instalment of Sammy J's 50 Year Show (he does just one show every five years, with reappearances by previous cast members). Fun concept. Join us for the next one in 2028...

I'm kicking off my post #MelbFringe holiday like a true madman - watching a documentary on #Netflix and drinking lemon and ginger #tea. I may go to bed early too.

20 days straight of work has lead to this moment, and saying goodbye to The Courthouse after another Fringe. Everyone who worked and performed here over the last 3 weeks is awesome.

Just 6 more days until I can sleep. #melbfringe

If you come to see any shows at The Courthouse Hotel during #Melbourne Fringe, you'll probably find me behind the sound desk at the back of the room. Please say hi after the show!
