2014 Edinburgh Fringe
Dr Professor Neal Portenza Performs His Own Autopsy Live On Stage. One Night Only. (Obviously).
Winner: Best Comedy 2012 Melbourne Fringe. Sold out: Edinburgh Fringe 2013, Perth and Adelaide Fringe 2014. Nominee: Golden Gibbo (Best Independent Comedy) 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Insane. Inexplicable. Inimitable. There is simply nothing quite like a Neal Portenza show. A glorious, chaotic, deceptively clever hour of character comedy and inspired stupidity from the mind of award winning Australian idiot, Dr. Professor Neal Portenza. 'Portenza created a riot!' ****½ (RipItUp.com.au). 'Absurd and unpredictable ... had this reviewer wiping away tears of laughter' **** (Age).

The Foster's Awards - the ones that got away
You can't please everyone. That's the conclusion I come to almost every year when the Foster's Award nominations are announced. This year's shortlist is no exception. Despite choosing seven of the best acts in Edinburgh there are a number of unfortunate omissions. I should imagine that everybody who has taken the trouble to read this far has got one favourite that the panel missed. Just plucked at random from Facebook, here's someone's top ten that bears little relation to the Foster's choices.
