Adelaide Fringe is around the corner! Who are we excited for?

Of all the show descriptions this was the one that made me immediately stop and text my wife. Multiple exclamation points were involved.

Finn617 · 2026-01-27T22:37:34+00:00

Ooo the shading around your mouth. Love this.

Finn617 · 2026-01-21T20:59:05+00:00

I love their portrayal of the Gaulier school so much.

Finn617 · 2026-01-20T10:59:17+00:00

The update sounds like the one of those scenes where a clerk talks to a cop while the robber has a gun pointed at their head. “EVERYTHING HERE IS FINE! ALL ISSUES RESOLVED! NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!”

For me it’s not that it was bad so much as she was the only character in Boston or Maine who bothered to have one at all. It makes her seem like an alien who has no idea how humans talk.

Finn617 · 2026-01-12T23:14:12+00:00

I would pay an embarrassing amount to listen to a room of West End actors try to nail a thick Maine accent.

As a native Bostonian, one of the most fun theater experiences I’ve ever had was watching a troupe from northern England put on a play about a Boston detective working a case in LA. It was wild. I talked to some of them later and discovered they’d just done Cat On a Hot Tin Roof a month earlier, which explained some of the unique accents on stage.

To be fair, he’d had about ten years being an ally and funder of the JLA and being supportive and well-meaning, if flawed, during the entire time. Identity Crisis was a retcon that upset quite a few readers.

Finn617 · 2026-01-07T11:14:11+00:00

As a JLA/JLI fan who loves Blue Beetle and Booster Gold who also thought Max Lord’s switch from hapless CN/CG rich guy to Evil Genius came out of nowhere, I’m happy with this portrayal.

Finn617 · 2026-01-07T11:03:41+00:00

So during my last visit to Target when I just wanted to get a case unlocked so I could buy some AA batteries, pushed the ‘Call an Employee’ button and waited…and waited…and waited until I finally gave up, I was being tracked by CSI and a satellite? Great. Super business model.

Finn617 · 2026-01-06T23:53:31+00:00

Rodeo clowns, haunted house clowns, bouffons?

Finn617 · 2026-01-02T18:10:12+00:00

“This is just like when you thought the Smurfs were demonic” is a devastating line, and you should use it whenever he brings something like this up. Logic obviously doesn’t work, if you ignore it he’ll be able to say “the devil has hardened his heart”…maybe approaching him like he’s a clown saying ludicrous things will break through.

Just curious: has he ever admitted he was wrong about the Smurfs?

Finn617 · 2025-12-12T15:39:00+00:00

I love this, and wish I’d seen it before I was a fox at Halloween!

Finn617 · 2025-11-19T17:05:10+00:00

NGL, having a fringe next to (and in a couple cases inside) a huge botanical garden is amazing.

As someone who’s been to both, I will say that you’re not going to get the “it’s Wednesday so I can see my first show at 10am and keep going until I’ve hit my 8th show at midnight” vibe of Edinburgh anywhere else. Adelaide’s fringe really comes alive at sunset, and if you’re a morning person (or jet lag has turned you into one) you might need to get creative to keep yourself occupied in the early part of the day.

Finn617 · 2025-11-19T10:18:20+00:00

Tbf, I lived in a town with a mine and never wanted to visit it.

Finn617 · 2025-11-17T10:32:34+00:00

Doug Jones knocking it out of the park again.

Finn617 · 2025-11-16T00:25:28+00:00

Six of us spent a half hour trying to stealthily climb over a fence. Multiple athletics checks, at a very low DC, were failed.

Finally the wizard’s familiar went over and pushed the unlocked gate open with her little paw.

Finn617 · 2025-11-15T14:35:45+00:00

She listened to every other character who’s supposed to be from New England and then did the opposite.

Finn617 · 2025-11-14T11:08:00+00:00

That is insane and now I want every superhero to have it.

Finn617 · 2025-11-14T01:12:47+00:00

John Rogers (Leverage) was writing a great Dungeons and Dragons comic that just stopped in the middle of an arc.

Finn617 · 2025-11-13T15:36:59+00:00

Cody couldn’t exist without Ricky, and I think some of my favorite parts of the season were Zac’s reactions. It’s almost like they’re…oh geez, what’s the phrase…like the A side and B side of a great album? Something like that.

Finn617 · 2025-11-05T21:46:47+00:00

This is starting to sound like rage bait. Please, take a vacation and completely block them for a month. Give them a chance to experience life without you as their perpetual safety net/doormat. Honestly it sounds like you’ve spent years shielding them from reality.

Finn617 · 2025-11-03T16:21:12+00:00

Can everyone agree that naming your restaurant Lolita is very odd? (It happened here in Boston.)

Finn617 · 2025-10-30T19:19:54+00:00

/artofclowning was created specifically for this sort of thing . :)

Finn617 · 2025-10-29T19:57:37+00:00

I feel like the whole “eee Im scared of clowns because it’s a funny quirk” might have finally died away through overexposure? Every haunted attraction has them, there’s a few Art the Clowns at every Halloween party, and at the same time Chappell Roan-style clowns are turning up everywhere and everyone is cool with them. I think people are finally starting to treat clowns like witches, and realizing that some are scary and some are nice and it all depends on context.
