MINI Garage Kings Way pop-up

You know when you go somewhere and you pinch yourself because you can’t believe you’re actually there? That’s what happened on Friday at the MINI Garage Kings Way pop-up, celebrating the new MINI 5-door hatch. A cinema-slash-car dealership popped up…

Underground Cinema’s ‘PATRIOT’ experience

Everything about Underground Cinema is a surprise. The film is secret. The location is secret. All you know is you’re going to watch a movie, interact with actors, and that you should dress a certain way. The UGC team are masters at…

Audi Festival of German Films: The Plus Ones’ Guide

The Audi Festival of German Films is one of the highlights of my year — and I’m not just saying that because I’m dating a German guy. We love our film festivals at The Plus Ones, and the German Film…

Clouds of Sils Maria: Review & Competition

The trailer for Clouds of Sils Maria looks like a thriller: a mature actress (Juliette Binoche) signs up to star in a play with a younger American starlet (Chloë Grace Moretz), while her assistant (Kristen Stewart) becomes more and more powerful in…

Comedy Fest Review: A Bunch of Pirates

“I’m going to a transdimensional pirate comedy,” I told people at the Little Creatures/Little Veggie Patch Pop-Up last night. Yes indeed, the title alone of the Comedy Fest show ‘A Bunch of Pirates: A Transdimensional Adventure‘ got me excited. The plot…

Comedy Fest Review: Jude Perl

Jude Perl is a delight. Her Comedy Fest show, ‘Is it Just Me?‘ is a solid hour of why-isn’t-this-on-the-radio songs mixed with lighthearted standup. The basement of The Butterfly Club (who knew there was a basement?) was sold out the…

Comedy Fest Review: Jimmy James Eaton

Which is better, improv or standup? See both at Jimmy James Eaton’s show, Jimmy vs. Jimmy. I’m a huge fan of Jimmy James Eaton. The last three Melbourne Comedy Festivals I’ve been to his shows, and he always delivers. This is…

Spiegelworld ‘Absinthe’: a vaudeville delight

Spiegelworld’s show ‘Absinthe’ is a rollicking mixture of pure vaudeville. Straight from Las Vegas (where it’s been performing at Caesar’s Palace for four years) the show combines feats of athleticism with singing, circus with comedy. You never know what you’ll be…
