Perth was lucky enough to have Welcome to Night Vale visit us again this week with their current show, All Hail. This time the Astor Theatre was the venue, which is nestled in the temptations of Mt Lawley's many food and drink offerings. With its lovely deco architecture it's always lovely to visit this theatre.
The musical support act and the Weather (this is a NightVale thing) was a powerful and skilled singer by name of Erin McKeown - http://www.erinmckeown.com/ Amazing guitar, and friendly and sociable, I particularly enjoyed her song Where did I go but all of them were great and I'm looking forward to listening to the albums I picked up from her after the show.
All Hail brings into the spooky, creepy, funny and just plain weird desert town, with its golden voice, the dapper Cecil Baldwin. Like their other productions you don't need to be a follower of the podcast (which is up to many, many episodes) as most things can be picked up as you go along. Clever writing and some fine acting as well as well modulated voices made it a great night!
Audience participation is necessary. However, if your curiosity is peaked, then DO listen to the podcasts in order.
10 out of 10 hugely entertaining, and Wallace Greenslade with supporting Neddy & Co. do Stranger Things on The Sid and Nancy Scale.

Hi!
Hi! Just got back from an alternate timeline where the song Blue Monday from New Order was written 50 years earlier than it was in our one. Especially for Rob Masters

Danger Dave Ruebens gave us a great show!
Danger Dave Ruebens gave us a great show! He's got one more show tomorrow night, so if you like some thrills with your magic, then he might be the one for you.
With entertaining patter, multiple card tricks and a truly chilling feat involving 5 industrial stapleguns, Danger Dave is not for the faint hearted! Whilst not in the juggling chainsaw sort of over the top display level, Danger Dave gives us a sideshow feel with his British voice and everyday tools and his Evel Knieval type getup.
Good magic and sideshow tricks utilising hammers, nails, cruel animal traps, and yeah, that thing with the staple guns still has me going "Phew!". I appreciate a good mechanic, and I was thoroughly entertained.
8/10 Rivetting, and David Copperfield doing Backyard Blitz on the Sid and Nancy Scale.

The season has ended for this show at #fringeworld #fringeworld2018 #perth but Soothplayers deserve a huge mention for their hilarious ability to pick up on the most banal (or should that be anal?) suggestions from the audience. A medical student was chosen from the shouted suggestions "The Tribulations of Dyschezia" and after being prompted by the main Soothplayer for the meaning of the word, the Soothplayers let rip with a positive stream of fecund creativity.
Plop, John, Bucket and other characters fertilised our imagination with the terrible rivalry between two Mayors of towns linked by a river. Mylantia and Arnot, with a blockage in trade constipating the prosperity of both towns.
Although hilarious what's pretty darn cool about the whole thing are a) the whole thing is improvised and very immersive and b) the real Shakespeare tropes - disguises that anyone should be able to see through, letters, plots, kinda gravedigger scenes, misunderstandings and they're just throwing it all out there and it's very, very Shakespeare!
10 out of 10 Hilarious, and watching the cast of Clue performing The Scottish Play for laughs on the Sid and Nancy Scale.
