Here at List Towers we have been inundated with Twitter reviews. See below for our top picks, for the people by the people.

@mersyparadise Alun Cochrane. Welcome antidote to angry, acerbic comics he spins a fine yarn in venue, which looks like the Woodside Social!

@shaziaakbar Boys from Brazil are brill, easy on the eye, will get your heart racing & body swaying in the first ten mins.

@half_a_mind Superb comedy and singing by the girls of Princess Cabaret http://bit.ly/b5TTW — must see show.

@bobertd The Penny Dreadfuls. Inspired, slightly warped and occasionally shambolic (which just made things funnier). An outstanding show.

@emmajcowan Rob Rouse and his manic humping dog made me cry with laughter – slow burner with great ending and a v nice chap to boot.

@loveleelaydee67 Stand By Your Van – bit surreal but very funny. Definitely worth a view.

@ElementalWed Kataklo Athletic Dance Theatre’s Love Machines — concept, soundtrack & performances great, but a little slow-paced at times.

@John_Fellows just saw Rob Rouse @ the Pleasance. Outragous+hilarious+dog porn=winner! *****

@mersyparadise Go see Sam Simmons. The funniest man in Adelaide! Like an edgier, absurder, surreal Harry Hill. No problems with this show.

@Schneed Just went to see Falsettoland at George Square. Better than expected. Actually very good.

@bobertd The Boom Jennies. ‘Fun, fast-paced, inventive sketch comedy’ was no lie. Three great performers with incredible timing. A joy.

@OwenGriffiths Hardeep Singh Kohli, cooks up a pleasing evening. Banter better than the gags though.

And remember to follow us on @thelistmagazine for all the festival highlights and news.
