2007 Melbourne Fringe Festival reviews & recommendations

[Gutter Monkey]

The 2007 Melbourne Fringe Festival has begun, hooray! No, really it has. (Most people I mention it to have been completely unaware of it.)


I managed to buy the last remaining seat for tonight's opening show of "Mathew Kenneally For Parliament?" and had one of the awesomest times in a comedy show in recent memory. I've always loved Matt's clever satirical stand up and his festival show was right at the top of my very short list of 'Must see' shows for this year's festival. He didn't disappoint.

So if you love political satire or clever comedy in general make sure you get along to Glitch bar for the show.
