At one point I thought I would have to leave. I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t actually breathe. Tears were streaming down my face. This show, inspired by the true story of a woman’s dolphin love affair, is hard to put into words but I’ll try. Completely insane. Kelly is incredible and this show has been a highlight of Fringe.

Everything the fringe is about - completely mental, unique, funny, you have to see it to believe it. No, really, just see it! Kelly is crazy talented and it's the only dolphin you'll see at the fringe!

The chemistry between the two actors who play the main couple was out of this world.

I don’t really know what to say about this show except, what the f**k?! Go see it. Mental. Kelly is extremely talented and absolutely hilarious. Thank you for the experience!

It’s almost certainly not possible to distill the essence of the Fringe into just one 50-minute show but, if you could, I imagine it would be a lot like this - although possibly with less dolphin ejaculate.
Importantly, the show is funny (really funny, in fact), engaging, and, let’s be honest, absolutely bonkers. Go see it so we can all talk about dolphins like adults, ja?!

This show was hilarious, a bit raunchy and had unexpected heart. Kelly lit up the stage, and had me cackling. So see it!

A wonderfully surreal, anarchic often hilarious performance based on an equally crazy true story performed with commitment and skill (with added audience participation).
