If you want to hear some juicy gossip, listen to some confessions and then watch them being acted out on stage, then “1 Big Oops” is just the show for you.
Skilfully managed by Kurt Sterling and Colin Johnson, it’s one of the more interactive shows at this years Fringe. We are all asked to contribute, and we write down embarrassing moments in our lives, linked to work, travel & love. Each night is guaranteed to be different, and it’s the spontaneity that makes this show such a success.
The boys pick our revelations out of a hat and so the show begins. It’s very light-hearted, and good fun to be part of. There’s a nice chemistry between this duo and the show plays out as a modern-day confession box, without the anonymity.
This show is a nice way to escape from the hustle & bustle of The Fringe; just sit back and let it wash over you. In addition, check out Kurt’s other show, 1 Big Aussie Showcase, full of very talented acts, all from the land down under.
It’s a madcap hour of chaos and surprises, full of energy, quips and laughs.
