Forks will bend, Doritos will levitate and pineapples will materialize out of thin air; no laws of the known universe are left unbroken in Afflicted Magic, the captivating Fringe show by American master magicians Richard Kwesell and Nicholas Tweedy.

Generally speaking, penises shouldn’t ever be laughed at. Unless, of course, that penis is the star of Tyrannosaurus Sex, a fiercely funny and wildly creative puppet rock opera about an insecure lil’ pecker named Bob. Certainly not one for the easily offended, this adults-only show is like the Avenue Q of the Adelaide Fringe.

Looking like a dishevelled British rocker badly hung-over from an all night bender, Mark Butler seems like the kind of guy who would sooner consider calculus to be a comic book superhero than a mathematical theorem. It turns out, however, that before he became a talented comedian and an Adelaide Fringe regular, he spent four years as a maths teacher in the UK. So why the drastic change in career? If his entertaining debut play Rogue Teacher has any truth to it, Butler’s morals are far better suited to the stage than they are the classroom.

Magic meets melodrama in Mada vs. Vegas, but they don’t exactly hit it off.

You’ll already be familiar with the premise of the show if you’ve seen the 2006 film ‘The Prestige’: two rivalling magicians – who were long-time friends prior to a trick going horribly wrong – take to a smoky stage in a battle of wits, card tricks and pyrotechnics.

Packed with channels of high-definition humour and guaranteed to receive a great reception at this year’s Fringe Festival, Jason Chong’s Reel Life is the digital upgrade to analogue comedy.

I’m a huge fan of tapas. You know, the brilliant little titbits of all sorts of yummy goodness, authentically Spanish or otherwise? Fun to share, fun to eat, and if you stumble upon one you’re not so crash hot on, don’t worry – in a bite or two it will all be over and you can move onto the next one!

Former SBS Movie Show presenter and cult film revolutionary Jaimie Leonarder prepares to unleash lashings of incongruous frivolity at BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE SPOOL SNATCHERS. Featuring as part of the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival and screening at the MERCURY CINEMA, over six days Spool Snatchers will deliver doses of krazy Kung-Fu, off-beat screen sirens, wacked out wrestling, propaganda gone wrong and many other far-out celluloid obscurities that will leave eyes bulging and jaws dropping .
