Ginger and Tonic's show, For Love or Money, is a riot from start to finish.
The choreography is sexy yet unashamedly bogan and backed up with powerful voices, and the production feels like a real representation of what it's like to 'shoot the breeze' with all your besties.
Perth performer iOTA returns for dazzling Fringe World show
A sneak peek into the much anticipated Fringe show Slap and Tickle, featuring WA performer iOTA and the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra.
As I watched the show I found myself forgetting the beats and harmonies were coming from only the girls.
Each one has a beautiful voice and a talent for profanity.
The members of this group are real Australian women who are not afraid to take the piss out of Australian culture.
The show also touches on various contemporary Australian issues, while keeping the audience in stitches.
Jane Patterson said the first idea for the show was a song called "Freeze your Ovaries".
"We had all recently turned 30 and, suddenly, we were getting bombarded… we were really feeling the pressure and the reality of our age," she said.
"That song sparked the idea of wanting to keep our options open - the idea of wanting everything but not wanting to commit to anything at the same time. The show is a bit of a parody of ourselves."
There is even a bit of rap. Danielle O'Malley impressed me with her witty number.
She coined the phrase 'Bitches about to be Casper' which accompanies all too relatable lyrics in other numbers such as describing the female pastime of 'squeezing blackheads out of your boyfriends back'.
Ginger and Tonic do not forget about the audience and had a few people in the crowd join their business meeting and cabaret show extravaganza.
If you are looking for a laugh and wanting to see great live music, you better hurry, as the group has only a few nights left on the Fringe stage.
The music was fantastic, the choreography was what a Friday night deserves, and the comedy is relatable.
Ginger and Tonic described their show as a 'Cabaret Seminar'.
However, I thought it was a looser, Aussie version of Pitch Perfect and well worth a watch.
You can watch Ginger and Tonic perform For Love or Money until February 9 at The Palace Society located inside Flour Factory.
