[Spawn of Satan]

Hails, gotta try and catch ya while we are both in town.

Shows I've seen and how they rate:

one man Starwars - bloody brilliant, but I am a bit of a nerd, so if you hate starwars I wouldnt recomend it

Re-educating the planet - Quite amusing, was still being polished when I saw it, but I hear it has improved a lot.

Ed Byrne - great show, loved the references to the film falling down, not a great film, but it has great moments

Fiona O'loughlin - as always a shining star of the festival, I did love her reference to ther olympic torch, She achieved every smokers dream. See this show!

Umbilical Brothers - A good show as always, but if you cant comprehend mime stay away, your questions will anoy the other audience members. loved the tap dancing scetch

Jimeoin - I dont see Jimeoin much so it's always great when I do, and yes his musical proformance at the end was hillariously brilliant

Adam Hills - I caught this show in campbeltown last year so didnt enjoy it as much as i could have, but still a great show, and the sunday sign interpreter is definatly reson enough to catch the show twice, if only to see the sign for three balls droping.

Fleetwood Mick - a good show, hard to get tix for when the show name on the tix is fleetlemaina though. They had a little laptop troubles the night I attended, but still a great show. I recommend this show to any smoker who is collecting the warning pictures on the smoke packets, as I am, theres a song in there that will warm your cancer ridden hearts

Daniel Townes - A brilliant show, I went on a monday and it was sold out, brilliant idea to have monday shows, mind you a show that amusing could easily sell out every night, I highly recomend you catch it.

Nik Coppin - I caught this on a monday as well, get there earliy or its standing room only. Nik's shows are great every year, his english sense of humor combined with his fear of australias deadly animals make his show an absolute treat.

Ross Noble - I've always liked ross, his shows are always very amusing and I love that they have intervals, but by the end of the show you just want it to be over, a great show if you are an ardent fan, if not it borders a hostage situation.

Rhod Gilbert - brush up on your ten commandments before seeing this one, cause Rhod's god is an unforgiving one, and if your not into participation I recommend a seat up the back, a good show, but dont take any children to see it.

Jason Byrne - I managed to sit front row and avoid participation for this one. A great show, its nice to watch the internationals melting in victorias warm autumn, Jason is no acception. Big on audience participation, go and see it, and don't eat starbursts whilst siting near the front.

Jastin Hamilton- A brilliant show, its nice that the festival finally recognises Justin's potential as a great comedian. If you do see justin, see all three because it is a trilogy. I strongly recomend you catch this on, especially if your not a local, it gives some insights to decent dinning venues. We are at present trying to convince him to hold a three hour show at the end of festival so that we can see the trilogy as one.

Scared Wierd Little Guys - Not a bad show, a one off show before they hit the suburbs. If you havent seen then rent yourself a combie van and follow them in their exploits, the material is mostly old stuff, but still very amusing.

Geraldine Quinn - A beautiful show entitled sex death and bowie, a must for David Bowie fans, and some great tunes abouiit other things, this show comes with a free alcoholic beverage which you may drink on the roof after the show, do this, it's a beautiful view and a good show.


Much more quick reviews to come in the next week or so.
