COMEDY

Danny McLoughlin: Phillip Was Right
When Danny was 10 something bad happened, he was fine. He didn't think it was that bad. Now he's older, he's not fine as he's realised the bad thing was probably badder than he first thought.

MAGIC

Tony Roberts - Card Magic
What happens when a corporate city worker takes to the streets of the world with a deck of cards, some jokes and an escape act? Find out in Tony Roberts' 2015 Brighton Fringe Cabaret Award-nominated, storytelling and close-up card magic show. Every card tells a story, every illusion a tale, from boardroom to busker. Sold out Adelaide Fringe. 'Literally leaves the audience gasping' ***** (TheMumble.net). 'Genuinely awe-inspiring' **** (Advertiser, Adelaide). 'Will knock your socks off' **** (RipItUp.com.au).

THEATRE

William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (abridged)
Fringe regulars and acclaimed stars of the West End stage, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, are back with another barnstormingly irreverent and breathtakingly hilarious show. In a nod to the Bard’s 400th anniversary, the bad boys of abridgement present this “new” play by the man himself, as discovered in a Leicester car park. Mercifully, it's been reduced from 100 hours to a zappy 80 minutes! Direct from its world premiere at the renowned Folger Shakespeare Library.

COMEDY

Alice Fraser: The Resistance
Alice Fraser’s singular take on the world is ‘as smart as it is delightful’ (Herald Sun). Raised Buddhist by a lapsed Catholic and recovered Jew in her Holocaust-survivor grandmother’s home, Alice Fraser chronicles the world of her childhood through the lives and eccentricities of the people sharing her falling-down home: the manic-depressive Chilean gardener; the Christian Hungarian woman who should have been her grandmother’s mortal enemy but somehow wasn’t; the veiled Indian woman downstairs. ***** ‘Stand-up like you’ve never seen it’ (BroadwayBaby.com).

COMEDY

Nath Valvo: Happy Idiot
With sell-out shows across Australia and at Soho Theatre this Aussie rising star makes his Fringe debut. From his dysfunctional family to '90s suburbia, his fear of sport to accidental orgies - Nath's brutally honest and razor sharp comedy is winning over audiences and critics alike. 'A riotous hour of sharp observations, family anecdotes and fabulous physical comedy. Ridiculously funny' ***** (Herald Sun). 'Relentlessly funny' **** (Sydney Morning Herald). 'Super-charming, super-happy... his enthusiastic energy is irresistible. An hour of invigorating laughs' (Chortle.co.uk).

MUSIC

Gobsmacked!
Featuring world-class voices, jaw-dropping beatboxing and heart-stopping harmonies, Gobsmacked! is an all-singing all-amazing theatrical experience that redefines the limits of the human voice. A multi-talented cast of singers and beatboxers weave a story told through all forms of a cappella, from traditional street-corner harmonies to cutting edge multitrack live looping. Guaranteed to leave the audience with a song in their heart and a smile on their face, this is a show not to be missed.
