Throughout this #fringeworld2018 in #perth we have the opportunity to go to the Showman's Dinner at the Urban Orchard (just opposite the Art Gallery in the Cultural Centre).

We enjoyed it very much last night, taking a stroll around the Urban Orchard, enjoying a peeled & sliced while you wait with cinnamon and sugar apple from a lady with a trike and dress as red as her apples, and seeing a remote controlled table and chairs go by as a personalised tour for two - the showmen spruiking their shows - The Surfer, Het, Grit & Glitter all full of fun and ones we tried and enjoyed.

Wander up to HotMammaHot, make enquiries about whether they can cater to your dietary needs (they were able to do us lovely gf on the night, but polite to check) pay your 20 dollars, and get a blue ticket. At 7:00pm plonk yourself down at the long table, maybe get yourself a drink (but people may come from Gage Roads and take orders) and wait for the show.

I expect it changes from night to night depending who's available, but you're likely to see lariat, whip, acrobatics and other entertainment leap up onto the table. Servers bearing hanging planks arrayed with plates full of dinner will come to you. If it's anything like what we had, it'll be delicious cubed bbq'd meat and salad with bun or potato, with a very cosmopolitan feel for sauce and veggies.

Entry into the area is free, so you can just wander in and catch the show from the other tables if you're not feeling hungry and soak up the ambience.
But $20 for a meal and a variety show, with a backdrop of city and the whole feel of it? Highly recommended.

10 out of 10 delicious to all senses and on the Sid and Nancy Scale, well that's a bit tough but perhaps a catered family bbq at the Circus sideshow. If your family was cool.
