Upside Adelaide ★★★★★

Six years after the runaway success of Swamplesque, Trigger Happy Productions are back with the premiere of their brand-new sequel that tears the house down, boots.

A parody of Shrek 2 featuring some of the finest in queer performance, Swamplesque 2 is a non-stop extravaganza with enough burlesque, circus and cabaret acts to make even the most seasoned Fringe-goer ogre-joyed with delight.

With all the confidence of the cult hit it has become, Swamplesque 2 stormed back in all its loud, unhinged and gloriously queer swamp-dragness. It’s bigger and even more unrestratined than its predecessor, delivering a feast of fantasy, body positivity and gob smacking moments that left the audience screaming for more.

Trigger Happy as Shrek is a pure joy to watch, embodying the manly ogre but also breaking out into camp fierceness. A ballet-esque dance number to Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” one of the highlights.
