“Acts of Absurdity is a wonderfully peculiar show that has a little bit of everything, put on by some world-class performers. If you can’t decide what kind of show to see at Fringe this year, put your hard-earned cash towards this superb variety show and see it all. You won’t regret it " ★★★★ Rip It Up (Jeniffer Brown)
“Acts of Absurdity And Uncontrolled Laughter - I laughed harder and longer this evening than I have anything else I have seen this fringe“ ★★★★ Clothesline (Charissa McCluskey-Garcia) Fringe World, Perth
“Funny, unpredictable, engaging and priceless......acts of physical daring and laugh-out-loud humor as mime, juggling, illusion and movement flowed seamlessly from character to character throughout this evening of entertainment” (Jenny Pollard) The Buloke Times
“Oldaker is a master of object manipulation“ Herald Sun (Stephanie Glickman)
"Daniel Oldaker maximizes the subtlety of live performance, often using little more than his eyebrows to get huge laughs from the audience" ★★★★★ Winnipeg Press
“ Delightfully bonkers in every way” Adelaide Advertiser (Katie Spain)
“An exemplary example of physical comedy.” Sydney Morning Herald
“We were all extremely entertained throughout the whole show and walked out with our faces hurting from smiling so much. It was the type of comedy that the entire family were able to enjoy. My son and husband were even called up to participate in the big mouth quiz and I am so pleased that we caught the act on camera as we continue to review, laugh and enjoy it. The entertainment has created such a wonderful memory for our family for years to come.” Audience member, Hamilton Island
On behalf of Chadstone, please pass on my heartfelt thanks to your wider team and also the incredibly talented performers that made Festival de Luxe come to life during the month of October. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback both internally and externally and it was a joy to witness the unforgettable experiences these artists gave our shoppers. Their professionalism and attention to detail in a new environment was very much appreciated and we look forward to welcoming them back to Chadstone in the future.
