[Fringe] It begins again
Nov. 14th, 2019 04:29 pmIt's that time of year again - first Adelaide Fringe ticket booked. Tripod, of course.
Last year I was not able to make it to many shows (mainly because most of my old favourites were not in attendance (poor receipts in the previous year, new young children, new jobs elsewhere, depression, and the like), and I was well out of the information loop as to good shows since I wasn't hanging out with anyone. I did get to be a pseudo-Cassandra in a Time-Travelling Jane Austen drama, and attend the last performance of a duo's new and rather bawdy show (where apparently [and totally inadvertedly] I really really really scared her <sad face>). I must stop leaking. Although there was a hairdresser at the venue lusting after my beard (it was a hairdresser musical). She tried to steal me from the other show.
They also didn't have Half-Tix which meant that experimental Fringing was expensive (although it was the first time I had bought a Fringe membership). And it doesn't help that not many other people seem to be interested these days. And I seem to have eaten all my friends over winter. Added protein. [Actually just too tired of upsetting people.]
Plus health of course. Which is probably worse this year.
And without S and K to remind me I totally missed Robyn and Post Modern Jukebox when they were in town. No Puddles though. Apparently the Entertainment Centre has a small venue now, which is still large. Ah the politics of that barn.
Still! Fringe! Hopefully there will be some good theatre, excellent dance, great music, and good comedy (not stand-up).
