 THE BIG SHOW 2010 at Opera House reviewed by Maryanne Cathro 13 May 2010 |
|
Clever, intelligent, dirty, original Why is it that Tom Jones can still be singing Delilah 45 years later and bring down the house, yet when a comedian reuses material we’ve already heard, they’re rubbish? It’s so unfair! [more] |
 DAVE WIGGINS IS GOOGLING GOD (USA) at BATS reviewed by Priyanka Bhonsule 13 May 2010 |
|
God in cyberspace A year ago, while trying to come up with ideas for a show, Wiggins decided to enter the term ‘god’ into Google and browse through every single result that came up.

MEDLOCK & MUSGROVE: THE GIANT FACE (NZ) at BATS reviewed by John Smythe 13 May 2010 |
|
Falls short of its potential The premise is that Dan and Nat – Dan Musgrove and Natalie Medlock – are here to sing a few songs but budget constraints have obliged them to share the stage with a documentary about Harry McNaughton’s struggle to find work after the sudden axing of Shortland Street.

|
Goofy gadgets mighty impressive ... loud, brash, and brilliantly executed. Gadgets is a frenetic show full of ingenious if wacky gadgets, spectacular laser lighting effects, and an appealing if loopy robotic dog called Erik, who has God-like fantasies [more] |
 THE IMPROV BANDITS: THE ELIMINATOR at Musgrove Studio, Maidment Theatre reviewed by Joanna Davies 13 May 2010 |
|
Slick, quick, genuine fun You know you’re in the presence of improv experts when, in the space of 2 minutes, they can take a flat audience and transform them into eager, perky punters. In that respect The Improv Bandits are human Berocca. [more] |

 SAMMY J & RANDY IN RICKETTS LANE (AUS) at Basement Theatre reviewed by Adey Ramsel 13 May 2010 |
|
Madcap, ingenious and half the price of Avenue Q It’s amazing what kind of world you can create, and where you can take people, with a flimsy set, lights, an exceptional soundtrack, one man on show and one hidden (mostly) who manipulates one purple puppet. [more] |
