  1. 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).

  4. 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): melbournefringe.com.au/event/v

  5. 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.
