Victoria Bitters: Oh sure, the Aussies claim they don't drink VB, but the delivery trucks tell a different story.

Speaking of Aussies, I saw my first Fringe show of the season yesterday. I went to Cactus, a one-man comedy put on by a guy from Melbourne. Frankly, the guy could have been doing a dramatic monologue about thumbtacks and I probably would have gone. It's a really funny and excellent show with some clever improv when needed (like when he got his Aussie and English accents mixed up). He asked the audience whether we could tell the difference between the accents and the crowd of 70 replied "YES!". He seemed a little shell-shocked at our enthusiastic reply.

I also recommend PygM@ILion and Liminal. And since it is FREEZING here today, I'll probably tuck inside and see a couple more.
