Swan Lake (*) until Sun, Mar 15, 2009
Shakti’s Swan Lake is one of those “to be missed” shows. Yes, there is precision, yes it is a good idea to explore this classic ballet, but no, this is not the way. Shakti’s obvious skill is lost in this…
Rich Hall and Otis Lee Crenshaw (****1/2) until Sat, Mar 21, 2009
Rich Hall is an Adelaide Fringe legend. And he keeps getting better with age. His opening segment as Rich Hall is pure stand up gold. Yes, I am gushing a bit as I write this, but he is just so…
The John Lennon Play: In His Own Write (****) until Sat, Mar 14, 2009
This is pure Fringe brilliance. A troupe of young actors, I Must Not Theatre, transport us to another world, in fact, into the inner world of a young John Lennon through a play written in 1968. This play is based…
I Hate Rabbits (****1/2) until Sat, Mar 21, 2009
James Galea dubs himself Australia’s Number One magician and I can live with that. He has a warm presence on stage and oozes confidence in what he does. So what does he do? He does tricks! It really is an…

Wunderground I have fallen in love with this weather site because it goes deep into weather conditions and ties together various weather resources in one spot. I particularly like the ability to overlay satellite, fire and severe weather information and…
Slim Limits – The Second Coming of Gods Cowboy (**) until Sun, Mar 8, 2009
George Catsi has a great idea buried in this show. His character, Rev Slim, is a “disturbed evangelist, dishing out songs, salvation and spit”. When his deep, southern, US accent is on full throttle, it is good. When it slips,…
1000 Years of German Humour (***) until Sat, Mar 21, 2009
The premise for this show is that Germans are not known for having a sense of humour, at least one that embraces subtlety, irony, and whimsy. We were all expecting awkwardly delivered jokes and brutal slapstick, all with a nod…

Good ideas for websites Sean and I have had some good ideas for businesses and websites during our radio show, so it is only fitting that we share a source for similarly stellar ideas from online – Good website ideas…
Amazing Drumming Monkeys (**1/2) until Sat, Mar 21, 2009
I am a new parent and I need to get used to children’s shows. So, with great anticipation, our little girl accompanied us to see the monkeys. A dozen or so children ran to the front of the tent and…

Country Fire Service I have never profiled the CFS website and, in fact, it wasn’t until this weekend with all the fire warnings in place for Saturday, that I actually visited the website. It is a very simple website which…
