Group participation encouraged (but you won’t be picked on). Previous performances: Brisbane Fringe, SofarSounds and wedding ceremonies. 'In 27 years of this job I’ve never seen a recital like that' (Marriage celebrant).

The great thing about the fringe is you don’t know what will happen next. While having a drink in a teepee Oliver came and approached us. He left us with a flyer and after reading it we thought let’s give it a go. We were not disappointed, the show gave you insight into Dr Oliver, the audience and yourself. If you have a hour to spare this is well worth a visit.

A thoughtful show, with Oliver providing great original works. This all acts as a lovely relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the fringe.

Teabreak Poetry is an intimate and charming delve into the human psyche and a reminder that no matter our differences, we can all relate to one another. Well worth a visit!
