NEW SHOW - ADELAIDE FRINGE 2026:

Where do you see yourself in five years' time? I hate that question, but it's a good question.

An existential monologue about feeling stuck, performed entirely in a hot tub.

FEB 20 - MAR 8

at some point all the secrets are known and there's nothing to hide. that's called the death of culture

Unbelievable

Only two more chances to catch Unbelievable at Melbourne Fringe, before it goes on the road!
The audience so far has described as poignant, mesmerising, funny, endearing, hilarious... all words I like to hear in relation to my storytelling!

assuming you deleted the new sessions file and kept the old one?

I'm assuming the complicated way involves the sessions folder?

they tried installing ai cameras to analyse the situations in which cars would stop beyond the white lines and only activate in legitimate cases, but these got confused and started chopping the outside of men's legs off. then the scheme was scrapped entirely. end of an era

08.09.2025 09:14 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

next they would try them on the roads to target cars who stopped past the white lines. but there were too many contingencies and they caused too much collateral damage

but it was ok because the men didn't have the outside of their legs and elbows to take up space. so everyone was satisfied and all in all the upwards guillotine idea was a success

they introduced an upwards guillotine between the seats of trains that would slice up every now and again to prevent spreading. 85% of men got the outside of their legs and elbows chopped off. there was a big public outcry and the guillotines were dismantled

Went to see this yesterday and it was a real highlight! An outstanding example of interactive theatre that really draws on the creativity of the audience.

The host is fantastic at finding games with the audience, bringing us into his world and letting us shape it collectively as a crowd ๐Ÿ˜Š
