Patrons of this sold-out event were held enthralled by the soundscapes and tempos.

Up-and-coming sensation Hayden Calnin makes his guitar soar as fantastically as his voice but as a performer, he makes a fine recording artist.
Happiness is Charlie Brown and the gang. There’s only “good grief” in this exceptional, fun-loving production.
This very clever adaptation took advantage of everyone’s skills, and the unique setting, to add up to a very wonderful, magical evening.
These leaping, cavorting acrobats showed us that they could be frightening in their intensity, or funny in their slapstick, which is a mark of true professionals.
In any show about Dorothy Parker, wit is to be expected, but to combine that wit with suburb characterisation, panache, expert writing, singing, and yet more wit, adds up to a perfect evening out.
Jock’s trap was such a treat that the venue was overcrowded, but even sitting sideways Hill proved his worth. If you like to laugh until your face aches, don’t miss this show.
Jon Bennett shares his traumata graphically, too graphically for some, although many in the audience were limp with laughter.
Who knew a self-proclaimed “bad amateur underground horror musical” could turn into a killer comedy?
The Magical Mystery Comedy Coach Tour has great potential to become a real Fringe highlight in the coming years.
