Have you ever con­sidered flat­ting in Mel­bourne? Wondered what to look for in a flat­mate? What are the red flags, green flags, rain­bow flags to look for?

Grab a tea and a blanket and cosy up for Nick Robertson’s Fringe Fest­iv­al adven­ture, Everything That Happened at Num­ber 68.

As Nick shares with us, “Share­houses come and go, but some of them stay with us forever, wheth­er we like it or not. Num­ber 68 was one of those houses.”

Our packed Sat­urday night crowd at BATS are poised on the edge of our seats, tea in hand, drink­ing up Nick’s deli­cious storytelling detail­ing drunk­en parties, bon­fire mis­haps, smug rab­bits and bath­room secrets, want­ing more.

Thank­fully Nick’s show con­tin­ues in Duned­in Fringe at New Athen­aeum Theatre till Sunday. Let’s hope for many return sea­sons because we can’t wait to see Nick’s skil­fully craf­ted tales return with new adven­tures to haul us along for this bumpy ride.

Flat brunches, con­cert out­ings and pic­nic excur­sions are a reg­u­lar at my Wel­ling­ton flat, not to men­tion trips to the theatre and this is a bond­ing exper­i­ence to add to our list.

Right now we’re sit­ting around the table, listen­ing to Homegrown bands warm up, plan­ning our after­noon of con­certs and strolls down the water­front for their last fest­iv­al in Wel­ling­ton, and pos­sibly our last fest­iv­al togeth­er as a flat.

Everything That Happened at Num­ber 68 has giv­en me pause to appre­ci­ate the finer moments and the friends that have become fam­ily through shar­ing a roof and mem­or­able moments like this togeth­er.

For a mem­or­able night out, look out for Nick Robertson’s upcom­ing shows. Nick is a tal­ent to watch so catch him while you can before this smooth rab­bit bounces off to over­seas suc­cess.
