Festival Time is Best Time!

Perth’s Festival Season is our best time of year. With FRINGE WORLD followed by the fabulous Perth Festival, there’s so much to see, do, experience and be entertained by happening right across the city and beyond, kicking off at the City of Perth’s Australia Day Long Weekend program and running through into March. No matter what you’re into you can trust Fringe to shake off the borings this Summer! For those new to Fringe, the best place to start your Fringe journey is at FRINGE Central throughout the Perth Cultural Centre. The central box office near the Ferris Wheel and Urban Orchard is right at the centre of the entire Fringe universe. There are artists roaming around every night ready to tell you about their shows and so many venues close by for you to check out something new on each visit. FRINGE WORLD 2018 has returning favourites and new treats in store including a brilliant new hub at the Ice Cream Factory, a great new Palace Society program in some of our favourite venues throughout the King and Queen Streets precinct, a huge circus tent landing right next to Yagan Square and a wildly expanded Pleasure Garden program. On the second weekend of the Fringe we introduce our biggest free program yet!.

Look out for Silent Disco in the authentic vintage lion’s cage and a tent where you go to be touched by God! Like most of the Fringe hubs – it’s free to enter every night of the Festival if you want to drop in and soak up the Fringe vibes before seeing a show or going on a Fringe Binge!

The FRINGE WORLD Festival has shown exponential growth over the past few years. It has not only developed into a much anticipated event on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual arts and culture calendar, it is now the third largest Fringe Festival in the World. This year promises to be the biggest and most ambitious festival yet. With over 750 shows in almost 130 venues including national and international acts of the highest calibre, there is something for everyone. The FRINGE WORLD Festival provides an important platform ensuring that our home grown talent is not only profiled locally, but receives national and international attention. It also provides significant employment opportunities for technicians and

administrators. In 2017 the Festival provided over 620 jobs and offered an estimated 550 volunteer opportunities. Through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and Lotterywest; the State Labor Government is proud to continue to support the FRINGE WORLD Festival. I would like to congratulate the organisers, volunteers, artists and performers on what promises to be another exciting Festival full of all sorts of treats for absolutely everyone.

International cabaret sex god Tomás Ford reaches for international stardom with his biggest, dumbest pop extravaganza yet. The sequel to his 2016 smash hit Craptacular. Hear the trashiest pop songs of all time in ways you never asked to hear them. Think Kylie, Madonna and Bieber in a unique mix of stadium spectacular and hostage situation.

Tomás Ford reanimates his most notorious, controversial punk techno cabaret material. Built over a decade of touring in filthy punk pubs, the Big Day Out’s Lilyworld and 3am slots in sweaty fetish clubs, this show features his most extreme and best-loved material in an hour-long, hilarious full-scale panic attack.

Ever busted out a ballad to the beat of a heart monitor in the ICU? Triage returns, following a sold out tour to rave reviews across Australia and the UK with a fresh show: Discharged! Nurses have been speaking a secret language for 100’s of years & Triage is here to translate! A unique night of comedy, music & nursing secrets...

A night in the Red Room with Madame Lush and her cabaret soiree, will be a night you will remember; dirty blues, sexy jazz, vintage burlesque and a gospel choir like you never imagined. The stage is set, the men are dressed to impress, the ladies are ready to tease and the show begins as Madame L whispers, “turn me, kiss me.”

Courtney Act has been under the covers with many, but not usually in front of a live audience. It’s time to get tucked in, lay back and enjoy the caress of romantic satin sheets as she strips songs down and flips them on their back to show you just how gender & genre fluid a great song can be! It will leave you pillow fighting and pillow biting.

Valerie Savage Doesn’t Understand Love

Vicious Von Vixen’s Vaudeville

Presented by Savagery Ltd

Presented by RMS Productions

Voila Variete Presented by City of Stirling’s Summerset Arts Festival & Fliptease

Valerie Savage is a lot more comfortable affectionately swearing at her friends and lovers than expressing any real emotions. In a #relatable cabaret show by Savage and the Ivy Jelisavac, creator and director of Relationshit, get ready to watch a grown woman finally work through some uncomfortable feelings through the magic of song.

Direct from London, it’s Vicious Von Vixen’s Vaudeville. Step back in time to the roaring 1920’s when the gin flowed a’plenty, gentlemen wore swanky suits with hats and women indulged in their sexuality... but beware; here at the vaudeville, we set the 20’s off with a twist! A little bit naughty, and a little bit fun - variety is the spice of life!

Presented by The Comedy Emporium

Motherly advice is not always welcomed, but this cabaret show celebrates the tears, the triumphs and the love of our mothers through song and true stories.

Cabaret star Robert Hofmann splits into four powerful personas in his new multi-gendered romp through South America and beyond.

Ladies of the Big Top

Presented by Hands some Feet

Presented by Kaleido Company

In the depths of the Finnish forest something stirs. Dry hands. Sweaty feet. Everything is this moment; there isn’t a thing more fragile. From the delicate to the downright ludicrous, the duo combine their specialised circus techniques of juggling and tight wire along with theatre, acrobatic manipulations, singing song and skipping rope.

A tale of two entangled in a gripping and poetic story of the heart. When seemingly normal lives collide and entwine, the web that ensues causes a flurry both in the air and on the ground in a struggle for individuality. This stunning, evocative expression of the human condition will touch your nerves and leave you with a frisson of enlightenment.

Kaleido Company presents Perth’s finest selection of babes, broads, and chicks with tricks. We’re ready to flex our lady muscles and show you how the gals of circus do it. Be prepared for a night of gravity-defying aerial acts, amusing antics, and unhinged interludes in this cabaret-style circus show. Bring everyone you’ve ever met.

A pause; a failure of a heart’s action; unconsciousness… From the winners of the 2017 FRINGE WORLD Circus Award, Syncope explores the physiology of the human body through a cocktail of aerials and acrobatics.

Craptastic Trivia

Crazy Sexy Improv

Presented by The Gelo Company

Presented by Fremantle Comedy Factory

The questions are made up and so are the answers. Not even Google can save you now. The old pub quiz has been turned on its head. No more pretending to remember answers you don’t even know or arguments over right or wrong answers. Forget capital cities, pop culture facts and great sporting moments there’s no right or wrong – there’s only Craptastic

Have you ever wondered what inspired your favourite pop hits? Of course you have! You don’t get a classic like ‘I Kissed A Girl’ without some kind of awesome backstory. Crazy Sexy Improv is a totally made-up-on-the-spot journey through musical inspiration and the bizarre lives of pop stars.

Infinite Jest Presents: Sonny Yang vs Fringe

Infinite Jest Presents: The Nasty Show

“Is This What You Humans Call Variety?”

Presented by Infinite Jest Comedy

Presented by Catface Productions

“The king of parody...A master at keeping things funny” 1/2 The Australia Times, 2017. After a sold-out first season, the hit cult comedy sensation ‘Sonny Yang vs Fringe’ returns to FRINGE WORLD 2018 to provide a warped, absurdist critique of this year’s dubious festival offerings. No show is safe. Not even the Children’s Events.

“A Masterclass in Smut”  The Australia Times. Offensive is the new black. The Nasty Show is a guaranteed offensive comedy showcase featuring a selection of the best comics of the festival, delivering their filthiest material. Tired of inoffensive jokey jokes? Get Drunk. Get Rowdy. Get Desensitized. Every Friday & Saturday of FRINGE WORLD.

After a bafflingly sold out season in 2017, Mac the Comedy Computer returns with his utterly unhinged and totally deranged variety spectacular! Imagine if all of FRINGE was crushed down to less than an hour, crammed into a room, and blasted into your face by a time-travelling clinically-depressed laptop. Get in quick, Mac is a total sell-out!

It’s My Funeral and I’ll Throw Glitter if I Want To

Jacinta Gregory Jacintegrating

Presented by Isobel Marmion

Presented by Baby Boy Bolognese

Jack Savage - Silly Billy Presented by Baby Boy Bolognese

After a (tiny) mental breakdown, Isobel has proactively decided to face her fears and throw her own funeral, rather than waiting for the zombie apocalypse or her untimely death from one of many possible diseases to occur. A comedy about mental illness and the fear of dying alone, but in an uplifting way!

Jacinta Gregory is a musical comedienne and manic depressive. Juggling life, love and being a woman in this modern world/big city/ Newtown? I don’t know how she does it. Find out in a night of live music, painful laughter, and hurtful truths. She’s crumbling, she hates puns - she’s Jacintegrating.

Laura Davis Cake in the Rain

Laura Davis Ghost Machine

Lauren Bok: Between a Bok and a Hard Place

Presented by Laura Davis

Presented by Lauren Bok

After an ABC TV special in 2017 & a run of sold-out Melbourne and UK shows, Cake in the Rain is the hotly anticipated new hour from critically acclaimed, multi awardwinning comedian Laura Davis. With a refreshing disregard for convention, Davis’s brand of bold, joyously cathartic comedy will leave you “amazed at such blistering talent” Time Out.

A show about life. Performed by a ghost. Winner of the prestigious Golden Gibbo Award at MICF and Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe, Ghost Machine is a truly unique experience for the comedy savvy. Described by critics as “phenomenal”, “bold and extraordinary” and “totally hilarious”, this is an internationally acclaimed show not to be missed.

After crushing Edinburgh and Melbourne Fringe, award-winning comedian Lauren Bok (SBS Comedy) returns with her new mind-bendingly hilarious meta show about how to make a show. “Clever...wacky...pure silliness...Has got to be one of the shows that embraces the spirit of the Fringe” Squirrel Comedy, 2017  Funny Tonne  Rip It Up.

I, Manfred Yon, am really glad you’re coming to my show. I bet you’ll have a great time. We can hang out, pal around, just chat about anything you like. What do you want to hear jokes about? Picasso?

Tessa Waters - Volcano

Thank You Driver

The Abersham Flat

Presented by Fringe Wives Club

Presented by Happy To Be An Idiot

Presented by Aidan Jones

Winner of Best Comedy Weekly Award AdlFringe 2015 and 2017. Multi Award winning comedian Tessa Waters has been thinking a lot about the apocalypse. Due to a lack of knowledge in woodwork or an ability to run she is sure to be the first person you eat... she hopes to convince you otherwise. As seen on ABC Comedy Next Gen and SBS Eurovision Top 40.

What has six wheels, goes ‘toot’ and carries a hell-of-a lot of crazy? That’s right. Buses are more than just a means of transport... Real-life bus driver, Nick Hasemann, lifts the lid on the utterly odd and hilarious journeys of a public transport bus. With characters, clowning and a bit of the insane, it’s a comedy show like no other!

Hey, I’m Aidan. In 2015 a conman named Andy moved into my flat in London and started systematically defrauding the other flatmates out of hundreds of pounds. I wrote a blog about it every week and released it in secret, and my laptop was confiscated by police in the ensuing fraud investigation. Andy never paid me back - this is the story.

In the style of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Thank God You’re Here, The Big HOO-HAA! sees two teams of fearless comedians take to the stage to do battle in a competition of wit, humour and bad mime skills. Creating improvised comedy sketches from audience suggestions, it’s a no-holdsbarred race to the punch line.

In the summer of 2001, Clara Cupcakes invented the worst video game of all time - the unplayable tale of an octopus who wants to find love in this crazy world. Distraught and alone, she hurled it into a garbage dump to be forgotten. Game over? Nothing stays buried forever. The legend of The Worst has grown.

Shall we get comfy?

Presented by good moves

Presented by April Vardy

Catch them, spot them, slot in with them and look again. Can a sculpture and the human body find balance between physicality and inner tranquillity? Local movers interact with the cultural centre in an improvisation based performing art. See if you can find them, and yourself, in the here and now.

This is a performance questioning what it means to be comfortorable. Are we most comfortable being in the comfort of our own homes? Do we find comfortability within others? How long does it take to get physically comfortable? Come watch us attempt to answer these questions.

Tableau/Tablao

The Faerie Queen

The Honeymoon Suite

Presented by Sofia Pratt

Presented by Zahara Dance Company

Presented by Bernadette Lewis

Tableau/Tablao is Sofia Pratt’s second show for FRINGE WORLD, following on from 2017’s Loco, which won the WA Dance and Physical Theatre award. Tableau/ Tablao is a kaleidoscopic collage of contemporary flamenco dance and ancient rhythm, chasing the oneness of art and life, inside and out, reality and unreality. Sound. Sweat. Passion. Poetry.

Faerie Queen Belladonna, guardian of her niece Violet, perceives her as a threat Instead of merely sending her away, imprisons Violet. In Belladonna’s lust for power, she corrupts the faerie magic, and twists it into something dark and cruel. Come on a sensory journey into the faerie realm with ZDC.

A new live dance, light, and photography installation. A neon, time travelling dreamscape delving in to the strange lands of vintage women’s wrestling, age-old pageant queens and tacky, retro TV intros. Welcome to The Honeymoon Suite. Enjoy your stay. Don’t feed the birds. Let’s get ready to rumble.

Jessie Gordon is Ruining Your Night

Jessie Gordon Live Electric Loops

Presented by Jessie Gordon

Jessie is an 8 time FRINGE WORLD award winner, veteran jazz singer, blues dancer and expert cheese eater. She is good at what she does. Especially the cheese eating. But in every show there’s a moment where everything can go horribly wrong. Jessie shares the moments of ruination, punctuated by songs performed in her inimitable smokey, sultry style.

Jessie is one of Perth’s best known jazz & blues singers. Touring through Europe with her looping station inspired her to combine her swinging vocals with an electronic groove, and this show blends her love of live improvised jazz with her passion for words and meaning. Each show will be ad-libbed, inspired by audience ideas, and wildly unplanned.

Street Magic // Pierre Ulric

Presented by Hendrick-Jan de Stuntman meets Merel Kamp

Stunt Magic Street Show Presented by Danger David Reubens

An over the top romantic comedy in the style of a silent movie. A man and a woman are suspended from and restrained by steel springs from the first time they meet until the inevitable ‘happy ever after’ ending. A spectacular tragicomic visual love story with all the clichés. Created by Jos van Wees en Merel Kamp, directed by Vincent de Rooij.

Pure, honest, raw and unforgiving: Welcome to the world of LIVE street magic. The International Man of Mystery hits the streets with busking shows and guerrilla art sessions, pushing his limits and yours. Psychological magic, avant-garde sleight of hand, and illusion. Catch him if you can!

Presented by One Eye Open

Presented by Modicum Theatre Perth

Just too late, just too early, just out of time, just out of reach. That’s all there is for Lucian and Kiara. They are always with each other and yet never in the same room. Clinging to memories, they fight to make more in a world lost in the superficial and burdened by things to do, places to be and people to see. Will they share a real moment?

One summer break, seven friends take a camping trip to rustic forest getaway Blackwater Lake - but their fun-filled weekend quickly turns to a deadly nightmare straight out of a slasher flick. One by one, the group is picked off by a masked killer stalking them in the night as the camp’s bloodstained history starts to make a grizzly comeback.

The Iliad is a really big book. It’s a long book. And it’s a poem! Homer wasn’t very considerate of the modern audience when writing this epic. Wouldn’t a shortened version, one filled with anachronisms, late night hosts and card battles be more interesting? There is only one way to find out.

Cool Like Hot Tuna

Cow Helena 105

Crunchy Silk

Presented by The Malletier

Presented by Sterre van den Heuvel

Presented by Katnip Productions

Cool Like Hot Tuna is a gaudy show of comedy and sketches, channelling the spirit of Luigi from WA Salvage. Tucked away in your past was a person who was gnarly and was unafraid to sport DaDa shirts, until those things were hidden in an old drawer. Well, it’s is time to reawaken - to say we are not so fancy, but embrace affordability.

Of all cows in The Netherlands, Cow Helena 105 performed the most. She lived from May the 25th, 2002 until February the 1st, 2016.This show is a tribute to this fantastic cow. It’s a humoristic happening with a dignified end. Cow Helena 105 and Jacob Rens performed together throughout the Netherlands. Helena did it all.

Something’s wrong with Astrid. That’s what Olivia says. Marlo says Astrid’s fine, it’s Olivia who’s bats**t. Round and round it goes and when it stops, someone dies. “A chill of goosebumps, a shock in my spine. I am cold and thrilled. Just when you thought a story couldn’t surprise you anymore, something like this comes along” Theatreview, NZ.

Lysistrata or: War! Whoa! What Is It Good For?!

Anoush tries to decide what to wear to a fancy dress party. By trying on different clothes she explores her identity. She has always felt like an outsider. Anoush realises that she has spent her entire life searching for her identity, uncomfortable with the social culture that she has been raised in but distanced from a heritage that she never knew.

Tom Hanks had a volleyball named Wilson. Jake Simonds has a basketball named Spalding--who may or may not embody the spirit of Spalding Gray, neurotic pioneer of the autobiographical monologue. Inspired by Cast Away (2000) and other survival-in-isolation films, ...like nobody’s watching asks why we still feel lonely in an ever-more-connected world.

Will Lysistrata’s sex strike make love and not war? Join us on a journey through time to expose the never-ending nonsense behind our preoccupation with fighting each other. Blending parody, political satire, sketch comedy and the anti-war anthems of the 60s and 70s, Aristophanes’ antiwar battle of the sexes proves as relevant as ever.

Not All A Dream

Onset

Passing

Presented by Brushstroke Productions

Presented by Haylee Whisson

Presented by Improve Silence

111

In the 200th anniversary year of ‘Frankenstein’, this new play dives into the story behind the story; how an 18 year old woman, Mary Shelley, created one of the most recognisable and horrifying figures in western culture. Join us early for a lakeside picnic, as we recreate the haunting majesty of Lake Geneva in this site-specific production.

Small moments. Big impacts. This high-energy, five-person show combines monologues and physical theatre to explore how small moments can lead to the ‘onset’ of perceptions and beliefs that colour our lives. Powerful, thoughtprovoking theatre that leaves the audience pondering the influence of their own seemingly ‘small’ moments.

Passing is something that Sara is great at. White people think she’s white, Arabs think she’s Arab. Easy! Sort of. She avoids a lot of racism, but she hears what everyone really thinks. People get that you can be culturally but not religiously Jewish, Sara’s trying to do the same with Islam. Things get more complicated when Sara gets a girlfriend.

Presented by City of Stirling’s Summerset Arts Festival & WA Association for Mental Heath

Is pity a bad thing? It most certainly is not. Whether it’s pity for yourself or for other people, it needs to be celebrated. The next question is, how do you celebrate it? And the obvious answer is, with The Double Act, glitter, sequins, food and party hats. We invite you to come and learn what pity is all about at our pity party.

The Raglan Fetish Show is a one-man show featuring lipsync, transgression, spoken word poetry, audience participation, cursed images; that is, all at once. Allfiltered through the hectic patter of one Patrick Downlow, Esq. You want content? You’ll get your content. He has the zeitgeist pressed to one temple and a handgun to the other.

Ren Lunicke - “Ze”: queer as f*ck!

Ren Lunicke Blood Relative

Séance | An Immersive Experience

Presented by Zir Productions

Presented by Realscape Productions in association with Darkfield

An autobiographical comedy about sex, gender, and the expanding parade of labels and identities Michelle/Ryan claims on zir way to pride. ‘Ze’ (a gender neutral pronoun) details zir multiple ‘coming outs’ from one LGBTQI, etc. box to the next, in a celebration that exposes the tension between being authentic and belonging.1/2 OUTInPerth.

‘Family will always be there for you,’ unless they disapprove of you, are dying, or can’t be born. Blood Relative highlights Ren (of ‘Ze’: queer as f*ck!), Ren’s disapproving mum and Ren’s dying grandmother; all struggling with the mythology of ‘happy family,’ the limitations of biological kinship, and the power to redefine family for themselves.

Séance is an intense sonic performance that lasts for 15 terrifying minutes inside a completely dark shipping container. It asks the audience to believe, not only what seems to be happening in the container but also in what might be conjured up. “Séance felt perfectly contained and completely absorbing, spine-tingling”  The Stage

Presented by MILK BOX Theatre Company

A buddy cop magic show, a mismatch made in prison, & 55 minutes that none of us will ever get back again. Or will we? The Enigmatic Eccentric Jon Madd reckons it’s impossible, but it could just be the voices in his head talking. Luckily we have the ever professional Paul James to keep matters in order, but does luck have anything to do with magic?

A crisis, a closed gate, a looming storm… Sudden Skies is an electric and physical hour of theatre. Two anti-heroes have the power of nations as they undertake a thunderous battle of wills. Performed by Ann-Marie Biagioni and Haydon Wilson this is a dark spectacle that merges light, sound and motion in a world of threat.

Wil Greenway: the way the city ate the stars

yourseven by James Berlyn

The cult hit of Edinburgh Fringe hits Australia! It’s England. 1989. A frenzy of illegal raves and warehouse parties. Jumpin up and down in a field and throwing two fingers at Thatcher. Remember it? We don’t. We weren’t even born. But Ian was. And Ian’s gonna take us back. “Be Ian, be you, but really just be in this audience”  AYoungerTheatre.

During a 3 week residency, Annette Nykiel slowly transforms Spectrum Project Space into a making place. An exhibition emerges, created from piecing together gleaned fibre, and fragments of found objects and handmade textiles. The resulting installations evoke the non-urban spaces where the materials are gathered or made during sustained fieldwork.

Peak Performance is a one-nightonly showcase of unclassifiable and transformative performance art at Paper Mountain, an exhibition space for experimental contemporary art. Featuring a cast of local female artists, Peak Performance carves a place for intimacy amidst spectacle, reframing expectations between FRINGE WORLD performers and audiences.
