An Aussie tourist, wide-eyed and somewhat gormless, arrives in Rio ready for adventure.

The stupendous voice of this outrageously original anarchic chanteuse and raconteur took us on a journey through their recent and traumatic romantic past. Which was much much more fun than that sounds. Truly, for him, laughter is the best medicine (along with lashings of love from family and friends). The vocal gymnastics were truly amazing …

I love a good circus (who doesn’t). If a circus does what it is supposed to do, there is a guaranteed amount of acrobatics, clowning, magic and general mayhem. CIRCUS, presented by Showmen Productions, certainly doesn’t disappoint, even featuring an old-fashioned ringmaster with a top hat and tails (ambitious for Adelaide’s March weather, if you …
