90 Day Comedian
South African Comedian Dalin Oliver is making his Fringe World debut with his laugh-a-line stand-up comedy show 90 Day Comedian. The National Arts Festival Standard Bank Ovation Award Winner just wrapped up a five city tour of Australia, delivering gags tight enough to get past border control in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane. This is a coming of age story for the Cape Town based former teacher, with a fresh take on life after spending more time abroad. He can’t wait to get hitched to the comedy scene down under before his 90 day visa and jokes expire. See you at the show mate!

Kirsty Mann – Skeletons
Award-winning writer and comedian, Kirsty Mann, has been keeping a secret – she’s a doctor. But please don’t tell anyone, she wants people to take her seriously as a comedian. Fresh from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival, Kirsty brings Skeletons to Perth for its Australian debut before returning to London to the prestigious Soho Theatre. Part comedy, part theatre, this hybrid show is directed by Laura Corcoran from critically-acclaimed double act Frisky & Mannish.
Skeletons is about a doctor who is pretending she’s isn’t a doctor. London-based Funny Women Awards finalist, Kirsty, has been working in the arts for a while, predominantly as a performer and more recently as a writer. But she’s had another occupation beside that – a secret job – as a doctor. She feared her work as a doctor undermined her credibility as a performer, and that her work as a performer undermined her credibility as a doctor! Now she’s finally ready to spill the beans! This is an hour of hilarious storytelling, featuring many characters, including Dom – an arrogant but delicious doctor with whom she has an ill-fated affair – and her best friend, Joe, a wild and accident-prone musician.
Venue: The Little Palais – Pleasure Garden
Time: 7.30pm
Dates: January 19th – 28th (not 22nd)

The Dreamer
A dynamic and exciting new solo circus performance, choreographed by acrobat and dancer Robbie Curtis (Arc Circus Co, Cirque du Soleil, Circa, Circus Oz, Australian Ballet) which premiered to a sold-out season at Underground Festival at HOTA on the Gold Coast.
Appropriate for all ages, The Dreamer is a kaleidoscope of circus, illusion, magic, physical comedy and dance and is inspired by a Charlie Chaplin aesthetic, full of physical wonderment and magic.
In this dreamland anything and everything is possible. Our dreamer swings from the chandelier and is seduced by a broom, becomes a sporting star, gets caught on the high seas – everything is magic, which is delightful, and at times terrifying.
Is it a dream or is it the madness of insomnia… or maybe both?
Time to wake up yet?
