Today's Fringe adventure took me out to the South of the city and the Gasworks Arts Centre where two young female performers - magician Lee Cohen and acrobat Emma Shephard - have a show.
Titled 'Voila' this is a show the whole family can enjoy featuring dancing light people, hula-hoops, doves, songs, a mermaid performing aerial acrobatics and a guinea pig. There may also be a rabbit, but that all depends on how large your wand is, apparently.
The audience interaction is good gentle fun with a slight hint of pantomime and the occasional piece of participation on stage required.
Both Cohen and Shephard expertly hold the attention of the audience for the entire 50 minute runtime - no mean feat when much of the audience is under 12 - and have a warm, friendly stage presence.
If you're looking for something to keep the kids entertained in what remains of the holidays this show certainly fits the bill. There are two remaining performances on October 5th at midday and 5pm at the Gasworks Art Centre near Albert Park.
