Steve Hughes: Big Issues
Hughes’s show is a wild ride, touching on everything from the mile high club (as a tall man, Hughes thinks it’s ridiculous) to political correctness (he also thinks it’s ridiculous).

Paul Foot: Kenny Larch Is Dead
British comic Paul Foot is onstage at a sold out Hi-Fi Bar wearing a shimmering silver jacket and his patented long-back-and-sides (but short on top) hairstyle, overflowing with rambling energy as he delivers his surreal and hilarious musings.

Josh Thomas: Douchebag
His stories are self-deprecating, full of humorous faux pas, but we can silently relate to them, and really he’s not a bad guy at all, which makes this clever show all the more fun.

Alex Williamson: Alex Williamson & Friends
With about two-dozen swear words per minute, it’s not for the easily offended, but Williamson has presented an outrageously boisterous and hilarious show.

Live Review: Jane Badler
Badler has shown her great talent as a singer and performer tonight, matched by her great personality and charm. We look forward to the new album and dreams of Diana.

Tales Of The Unexpected
“There will be dark, moody tales, and there will be costumes, always costumes, as I am fairly into presentation and the visual aspect of performance."

Live Review: Dinosaur Jr
The crowd claps and cheers, contentedly drenched from head to toe in the loud, golden sounds of Dinosaur Jr. as much as in our own perspiration.
Features / Music
Save A Prayer
"I realised that kids need to learn to think critically and not to just take people’s words on everything. That was the fundamental change for me: learning that I want to have good reason for what I believe.”

Live Review: Dappled Cities
Features / Music
Grow Forth And Prosper
“We were invited to play at The World Beard and Mustache Championships... On that weekend, in that city, in Anchorage of Alaska, the best beards in the world were there. It was as if for one weekend we were living in the utopian society that we hope to one day create. Where bearded men can walk down the street and get the respect that they deserve. It was just great.”

Album Review: Pop Singles - All Gone
It’s a promising collection of songs from a talented young band sounding comfortable together.
