Just the Tonic

Admin

There have only ever been nine Dr Deaths, but with most of his namesakes dead, and the Russian serving 12 life sentences in Siberia, Australia's own euthanasia doctor Philip Nitschke is now master of ceremonies, teaching the funny side of the right to die debate. From his involvement in the deaths of four real-life patients under Australia's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act, to his fondness for the do-it-yourself approach, Philip takes his audience on a rip-roaring ride through his 20 years working with life's one certainty: death.

Fringe: suicide & drugs for breakfast, laughter & tears

9 Fringe shows that no one expected this year (Link expired)

With every passing year of familiar names and faces, sometimes we're left wondering if the Fringe has no further shocks to offer, no surprises left up its sleeve, no show plans that could possibly make you let out a 'whaaa?!'.
