Recommend me Fringe Comedy Acts that don't suck the fat one please

Other than Wilfred Unleashed I don't know what to go to.

I don't want to get burned with a lame-as-f@@k show, like my experiences with some local comedy acts.

don't know about comedy acts, but one show i saw last year which i will be seeing again and highly recomend seeing is the tom tom club was fucking dope

Does anybody have a link to this years line-up?

ARJ BARKER FTW

click "check out the fringe guide"

i totally recommend the late night comedy, you never know who is going to show up and usually the comedians do original stuff cause its out of the context of their fringe show impromptu FTW!

This could either be awesome or really bad...

There appears to be some interesting theatre this year. 1984 should be interesting, as should Berkoff's Women. I will also probably put myself through the pain of seeing yet another theatre company fuck up Hamlet, because it is just that damn good a play anyway.

oooooooooooo...!!!

Always a winner for the theatrically in-tune.

Also keen on seeing La-Clique, and whatever show Brink is doing this time round.


Anyone keen on seeing Laclique I would love to share this event with friends, get onto me asap re tickets ($50) and we will see what we can organise.

Couldn't see Brink there. Although I don't see why they wouldn't be doing a show, so I may just be blind. Would be a shame if they aren't as I am yet to see one of their shows.

I would also like to actually see the Guy Masterson Production of Under Milk Wood, instead of just planning it this time. Woyzeck is also on the cards, especially as one of my friends was studying Buchner.

La-Clique was UNREAL last time, I am still thinking about the guy and the bathtub... all the ladies that saw it will know what I'm talking about

I wouldn't mind seeing it again actually.

Had a quick look and Brink is doing When The Rain Starts Falling as part of the State Theatre Company Adelaide Festival routine, as per usual. Brink is WAAAAAAAY too good to be part of the Fringe dude.

Let's get a contingency together Nat!! w00t!



My top picks.....

Ross Noble

Fiona O'Loughlin

Stephen K Amos

Will have to make it to the Brink production then. I have only heard good things about them so far, great infact.

Hmmm... I missed the boat on Fiona O'loghlin it seems. I have always found her to be banal and predictable. Noble and Amos I will be making an effort to go see though.

She's the Pendulum of Fringe acts.
 


Light entertainment for the masses with a good smattering of comedy gold thrown in for good measure. Always has fresh material though, which is very refreshing, especially for a local act.


From an acting and scriptingpoint of view Brink delivers the goods eveytime. One time I almost walked out at the interval.... sooooooooo glad we stuck it out, it ended up sprinting home and ended up being one of the best performances I had ever seen.

uuuummmm did not know about this one. will be well worth a looky 

I just realised Daniel Kitson is one of the comedy acts! That man is incredible. Quite dark, and caustic but.

Justin Hamilton if he is performing this year.
He won best comedy at the Melbourne Comedy Festival for Three Colours Hammo. He is also an ex-Adelaidean so he throws in a few Adelaide jokes that are always good for a belly laugh.

 

He is performing Three Colours Hammo again.

Also, Charlie Pickering is probably the best Australian stand-up I have ever seen.

arj = teh funny

OMG we went to late nite comedy last nite, seriously if you dont even get to see a proper comedy act...treat urself to some late nite comedy!

justin hamilton is an awesome comedian in his own right, he hosts the late nite comedy and he just invites comedians from the fringe to perform,... last nite we were able to see mickey d, simon palomares, mickey d, dave callan, tom gleeson, and a host of other guys i forget! oh and some ladies, they were funny too.

at any rate, dave and tom and mickey d were my fave, besides justin hamilton, i havent laughed that hard in forever! and i never really got into tom gleeson's comedy til now, but seriously he OWNED some people in teh crowd BIG TIME!

so yeah, i am SO going to late nite comedy a few more times, as well as seeing about 4 or 5 comedy acts (mickey d etc, mickey was the FUNNIEST comedian i have seen for a long time!) before the end of the fringe. man i lovvveee seeing comedy! hope u people get out to late nite comedy or even these guys i have listed, i really recommend them!
