Behind the Greasepaint: Fisticuffs

Fisticuffs is a deliciously fringey show. It’s as aware of itself and its peculiarities as much as it's a legitimately impressive set of circus feats.

A Beerless Talent: Matt Stewart - Bone Dry
Feb 14, 2019
REVIEW

Matt Stewart - Bone Dry is a show that portrays itself as a relaxed chat about relatively low key things. It is anything but, and that's really the wonder of Stewart's work. You might not realise you've seen a show rich in social commentary and complex comedic devices but, in fact, you have.
