Say Anything satisfy Sydney at Manning Bar.

"Druce handles his material well... slowly bringing us into his world."

"Hard to believe there aren’t some narrative signposts worked out by Steen Raskopoulos and Carlo Ritchie before each show, they’d catch the other by surprise with some pretty ludicrous plot twists."

"Kendall’s confident delivery means the emotional punch lands with just the right power. This show deserved a much larger audience."

"The fact that he’s subtly deconstructing his own comedy show at the same time is all part of its delightfulness. Just because it’s slapstick, doesn’t mean it can’t be clever too."

Badu mentioned several times that she’s worked with her band for years, and it was obvious every time a song stretched out beyond it’s recorded boundaries that there was a deep trust and enjoyment shared on stage.

"The girls were going off to school... Dad coming up the garden path with a bag of records."

Though Seltmann exists on the fringes, her brand of pop isn’t too far removed from fellow Aussie Sia, and her show had a magical homespun quality to it.

Everything is relatively down-tempo and low-key, with Watt’s plain but warm voice guiding the listener through the music.
