Who wouldn't want to see him in action taking advantage, as he says, of the 'unprecedented popularity' of small men of Middle Eastern appearance that is currently sweeping the country.

Charlie's interests seem to be mainly about media and current affairs, social media and the internet and, eventually, yes, taming wild squirrels.

Rod Gilbert in his Compliment to The Crooners, made it all look and sound so effortless – a fine compliment indeed.

This is nonsense. Absolute complete utter nonsense. And it’s brilliant.

What a great title – I can’t count the number of times I’ve been amazed at my kids’ knowledge of some issue or classic movie, only to be told: “I saw it on The Simpsons.”

As a comedian, performer and writer, Celia, it seems, is forging herself a most enviable reputation both here and abroad, winning prestigious comedy awards and nominations; and 2016 marks her 10th anniversary in stand-up.

This is not a slick show – at least not in the sense that the lines are carefully written and rehearsed beforehand. Its messy and playful, things don’t go as expected and words come out wrong. The audience is constantly surprised and surprising. But that's what makes it so much fun.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
