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.
