Moist is back for a return season, and anyone who's been a witness to the wetness can attest to how fun and inventive this show is. Produced by Tim McInerney and with the help of some very talented physical performers, Moist combines strong homoerotic energy with physical theatre, circus and a healthy dash of burlesque swagger.


The loose narrative follows a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world where water is scarce and homosexuals reign supreme. And what a fun dystopia it is! Our protagonist must bequeath the help of three of his exes - each possessing terrific physical talents in the circus and dance arena. What follows is an hour of deliciously absurd antics as the four men treat us to some impossibly lythe acrobatics, synchronised dancing, death drops, top-notch physical comedy, and cheeky pratfalls  - a camp experience like no other.


The lighting, staging and musical choices are nothing short of excellent. The soundtrack is full of club bangers that match the physicality to a tee. The crew of Moist are delightfully playful as they get up close and personal with their audience, from gently misting them with water to inviting them in on the absurd stunts (at one stage my companion was recruited to assist in retrieving the water from a used jock strap).


The comedy and entertainment goes hard from the quirky start to the gut-busting finale where the crew begins mopping up the mess they've created - topped with a perfectly executed rendition of Cardi B's WAP. There wasn't a dry eye - or face - left in the house.


Top-tier physical comedy theatre that will entertain the most unmovable of Fringe goers. Mischievous, naughty - and very very wet
