Well, figured I'd post it up, seeing as I couldn't find a thread yet...

Obviously the Fringe guide is out now, and it's quite sizable. Program looks good, better yet from last year, as there were quite a few whacked out shows last year.

Taking a friend to see La Clique this year, I saw it 2 years ago, and it was unbeleivable... they change some of the acts every now and then to keep it fresh, so defnitely checking it out again.

Garden of Unearthly Delights will be back again... summer drinks in the park under the lights... awesomeness!

What are you guys going to see?

I'm a prisoner. I'm a prisoner of, uh, war. War on drugs. It's all so negative, man. I mean, the Man's most positive positive-tive is a nega-tive. It's a mega-nega-tive. Right? - Sherpa - Entourage

Hold tightly,
let go lightly.

Posts in the event thread need to be _an_ event, ie have a date and venue at the very least.
I have moved this to insight, feel free to post actual fringe events in the event thread!

I want to see the Chaser's Age of Terror Variety Hour. I want to see some Burlesque if they have it this year.
I wouldn't mind seeing some GOOD comedy. Not just some idiot that stands on stage and sledges people in the crowd. And NOT Rove!

Robbie, what's La Clique?

Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

Is there a new one for this year or can I use the one I have?

Got my tickets to the chaser sorted (not really a fringe show is it), need to get the fringe guide out and have a look.

If you want to see Burlesque... La Clique is right up your alley. Easily the best burlesque I've seen. The girls just love the Dead Sea Gentlemen... I remember seeing girl mouth to her boyfriend 'god, he's got lovely arms'

It's very adult though, but so fun!

Check out the pics to see the kind of style it is... it was sold out almost completely in 2006!!!

Just came back from seeing the Crusty Suitcase Band (with Ben Walsh from the Bird), very cool very minimal sound at times heavy on the percussion too, really dug it, they are doing one last show tonight at midnight http://www.myspace.com/thecrustysuitcaseband

I'm now really considering seeing the bird on friday... only saw them do a free show few years ago.

Ben also performs in Tom Tom CLub in the Umbrella in the garden.

TOm TOm club is a very enjoyable hour of entertainment filled with percussion, beats, beatboxing - actually incredible beatboxing, and acrobatics.

I would urge you to go.

We loved it.

cheers,

I was thinking about it, from what I saw on you tube It looked a bit ho-hum, but the internets can be wrong some times, I think i'll go check them out, If I dont enjoy it i'll be asking you for a full refund

I recommend it Woj, our boss took us for our annual Fringe work show and it was tops. those guys are pretty darn good. The drummer guy made my arms hurt just watching him.

Saw Jeff Green on Saturday - all i can say is i'm glad i didn't pay for the tickets - not that funny.

Just sitting back and waiting for the next lot of freebies now...

it's open until the 15th march and is located in the East Terrace Parklands - so the opposite side of Rundle Street to Rundle Mall. Once you get down there you can't miss it.
