World Class Comedy Lineup
It wouldn’t be the Garden of Unearthly Delights without several gold standard comedians making an appearance. Laugh your heart out to top-notch Aussie stars like Sam Simmons, Felicity Ward (The Office AU), Nurse Georgie Carrol, Tom Gleeson and more. Experience Heath Franklin’s uncensored Chopper antics in his new show Not Here To F*ck Spiders or see smash-hit Sh!tfaced Shakespeare perform Macbeth. Joel Creasy, Tommy Little, Josh Thomas, Fern Brady (Taskmaster), Nina Oyama and more will also be making an appearance!
Life Is A Cabaret
Prepare for glitter, entertainment and world-class talent thanks to this year’s cabaret lineup. Fan-favourite Reuben Kaye is back with glamour-filled show APOCALIPSTICK, a show that is part eulogy, part elegy, part “Eastern Bloc Dog Day Afternoon”; whatever the hell that means! Rueben will also be performing his late-night hit The Kaye Hole this Fringe season exclusively at the Garden. Other highlights include a Kath Bush tribute and Michael Griffith’s It’s A Sin.
Spellbinding Magic
Sweden’s Got Talent Charlie Caper is touching down in Adelaide to showcase his multi-award-winning skills to Fringe audiences, as is Britain’s Got Talent Ben Hart, who’ll perform his wickedly dark new show HEX to crowds. As always, Fringe season will see the amazing Maho Magic return to the Garden for unforgettable evenings of magic and cocktails.
And more!
There are so many more incredible Fringe shows popping-up at the Garden across several genres. Kaleidoscope will return to Kadiltpina/Rundle Park; Myf Warhurst and Zan Rowe will host a live performance of their podcast Bang On Live; the brains behind SÉANCE, FLIGHT and COMA debut new show Future Cargo, a piece that pays homage to alien sightings inside a 40ft haulage truck.
The Garden Feast will also premiere, entangling chaos and unexpected encounters in an indulgent dining experience. There’ll also be plenty of family fun, with shows like Mario the Maker Magician, Bettongs and Buddies and Peter Combe’s NEWSPAPER MAMA – EVERYDAY just some of the highlights.
