Northcote Town Hall Fringe

Northcote Town Hall Fringe, presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy and Melbourne Fringe will showcase five hand-picked performances from 15 September until 1 October 2016.

Hero Complex by Sammy J:

A brand new solo show and very personal tale from multi-award winning comedian Sammy J. Sammy J is an award-winning comedian and writer. He has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and Montreal Just for Laughs festivals, been nominated for three ARIA awards, and provides the human half of the acclaimed man/puppet comedy duo Sammy J & Randy.

Saving Spiders by Brigid Gallacher:

Set between a prison cell and a bedroom, Saving Spiders, looks at how the three deal with betrayal and guilt. What happens when one of the friends switches from being prey to becoming predator?

Blind Spot by Daniel Santangeli:

True-crime, historical fiction and immersive performance come together in Blind Spot, the latest work by performance-maker Daniel Santangeli (Room 328, Wheyface). Blind Spot follows the fallout of a failed get-rich-quick scheme, propelling audiences through prisons, courtrooms, media frenzies and small-town homes. A series of interactive and audio installations co-created by set designer Yvette Turnbull and sound designer Rosalind Hall, Blind Spot unpicks the social architecture that can lead people into having everything to gain and nothing to lose.

An Alternative Route by Emily Robinson:

An Alternative Route re-imagines a new world order where rituals and expressions take on greater importance. Emily is joined by dancer/DJ Brooke Powers, violinist/vocalist Sienna Thornton and a group of friends who form a choir for the performance.

The Sequel by Leah Landau:

Inspired by action movie dialogue, cryogenics and lost worlds, The Sequel exposes the breakdown of memory and relationship.

Venue: Northcote Town Hall, 189 High St, Northcote
