COME TOGETHER IN THE GARDEN 2023.

Bring your favourite people to the centre of the arts universe for an indulgent 32 days of sparkling live performances, stunning immersive experiences, wild rides and sumptuous food and drinks.

FEEL THE LOVE.

The Party is the outrageous new headline production by creative geniuses Strut & Fret, creators of Blanc de Blanc and LIMBO.

Calling all social climbers, rich kids, gate crashers and hangers-on; the lavish stage is set for The Party of the century, so make sure you’re on the invite list. This evening is destined to be one for the history books.

The Party is a highly exclusive evening of the upmost sophistication with absolutely no rules. What could possibly go wrong?

This show is the perfect fringe celebration. Unbelievably talented international circus artists, great music, extravagant costumes, and an escalating energy within a theatre set unlike anything you’ve ever seen before at Fringe.

As they say – ‘if you’ve ever been to a wilder party - you’re under arrest!’

FROM THE CREATORS OF  BLANC DE BLANC  AND LIMBO

The Umbilicals take the energy of live performance and the spectacle of cinema and smashes them together into a hilarious show performed simultaneously on stage and on the big screen. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen, and nothing they’ve ever done, and it will blow your mind way more literally than you are expecting.

HARD QUIZ LIVE

HOSTED BY TOM GLEESON

The Hard Quiz Master and Overlord, Tom Gleeson, is swapping the studio for The Garden and adding a third dimension to Australia’s hardest quiz.

This will be Hard Quiz like you have never seen it, audience members live on stage for a roasting from the most brutal quizmaster since the inquisition. When Tom isn’t flaying contestants for your enjoyment he is also one of Australia’s funniest and most successful stand-up comedians who commands a theatre like no-one else. This may be peak Gleeson, the most perfect expression of his powers.

Hard Quiz Live, an experience like no other.

THE BOBOLI

7PM | 70m | M $39 - $59 + Transaction Fee 17 FEB - 5 MAR (WED-SUN ONLY)

The reigning dickhead of Australian comedy is back baby, with a brand-new show for the 2023 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Sun, summer, The Garden of Unearthly Delights, and a catch up on Tommy’s bad ideas from the last 12 months. Quality nights ahead. Carrie & Tommy are heard nationally on the Hit Network. ‘Comedy gold from the get-go.’

HERALD SUN

‘Little can’t be faulted and the show ends with an hour somehow feeling like seconds.’

‘Stomp Along Drag Fun!’

UK drag icons Le Gateau Chocolat and Jonny Woo are BACK with a brand new show of musicals mayhem in a raucous night of ballsy ballads, delightful duets and slaughtered showtune singalong stupidity.

Think Little Mermaid meets Jaws... a musicals massacre.

LE GATEAU CHOCOLAT & JONNY WOO

LANO & WOODLEY

MOBY DICK

Lano & Woodley are bringing Moby Dick to Adelaide.

When is an iconic story about a whale, not a story about a whale? When it’s a brilliantly funny Lano & Woodley show of course.

There is no open water required for this live stage show, where Lano attempts a dramatic performance of the epic Moby Dick only for Woodley branded mayhem to ensue!

Their love/hate relationship has fuelled countless ovations and slews of awards, finding new fans and devoted followers everywhere they go.

An hour of sublime, inventive and ridiculous comedy.

ARJ BARKER POWER HOUR

Back by popular demand: Arj Barker: Power Hour.

If you missed this show in ‘22 due to some cancelled performances, here is your chance…But what is Power Hour?

It’s what you get when you take your best jokes from over 30 years, lovingly restore, refine and remaster each one, jam them all into a single hour, and finally, sprinkle in some new material with a hint of improv.

Arguably Australia’s favourite American comedian, Arj has spent a lot of time in our country and has come to understand our culture perhaps better than we understand it ourselves.

KALEIDOSCOPE

BY KEITH COURTNEY

SH!T-FACED SHAKESPEARE

ROMEO & JULIET

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare is the hilarious blend of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely Sh!t-faced actor. What could possibly go right? With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same in this raucous, riotous, rampage through Shakespeare’s most iconic play.

´The most fun I’ve ever had at the Fringe. I left with tears streaming down my face and a sore belly from laughing far far too hysterically hard´

SAM SIMMONS CONTENT

So much Content! YouTube, Netflix, Stan, Insta, TikTok! The list is endless.

If only we could watch it all!

It will be then, and only then, that we as a species will finally arrive at the peak of pixelated metaconsciousness. Creating a digital human nirvana!

Sam Simmons is launching his own niche streaming service, “Content”.

Don’t worry, this is in no way a digital horror comedy about the societal breakdown of humanity.
