Review: Speed is Emotional
Speed is Emotional Written and performed by Jo Randerson Speed is Emotional is exactly what it sounds like: fast, funny, a little chaotic, and completely its own thing. Written and performed by Jo Randerson, the show dives headfirst into what it feels like to live with ADHD. Randerson invites anyone with a neurodivergent brain, and […]
Review: Ghost Bros
By Talia Carlisle Creaking floorboards, howls in the night… just another Wellington storm or is there something spooky hiding in Paramount’s new venue, The Gods? I’m not entirely sure since I can’t find the place… But a ghostly maze of paths and Fringe staff lead me to the auditorium eventually, where I manage my less […]

Review: Messy
Reviewed by George Niven Stepping into the Dome stage at Bats on Tuesday night felt almost like intruding. Taking my seat I felt I was brushing past Freya, the character played by writer Tara Weston-Webb, as she sat cross-legged on the floor of her room fastidiously painting brightly coloured icons in a small grid. The […]
Review: Mr Halloween Bachelor
I’ve not seen so much body paint in a room in a while, and this time, I’m contributing to it. It’s PopRox’s Mr Halloween Bachelor at the Hannah Playhouse, a triumphant sequel to last year’s Ms Christmas Bachelorette, and the cast (and some of the audience) are fully costumed for a night of flirty frivolity […]
Review: Grifted & Talented
Reviewed by Bethany Miller Firstly, what a brilliant premise for a comedy game show. Being one of those “gifted” kids, I was taken by the name from the start — the nostalgia of a school programme for unconventional thinkers that I realise now were probably all the oddballs and undiagnosed neurospicy types. Honestly, a lot […]

Review: Triple Double Trouble

With a rotating cast of doubles — today’s show is made up of Jonathan Mandeno & Thomas Bauer, Sarah Ashill & Tony Yuile — each night gives you something different. During our show, each […]
Review: Thank You Ten
Review by Felicity Cozens Love musicals? Love Footlights? Want a journey through every show they’ve done since 2014? Book through Ticketbooth and get down to Te Auaha on Dixon for a typically fabulous Footlights show! Laura Gardner’s set is deceptively simple – a raised dais and a set of stairs topped by a platform – […]
