GR AN I N A VAN
Gillian has always been tall. She’s been called sasquatch, bigfoot, and a giant. Gillian has always been angry. She’s been told she’s aggressive, combative, and a bitter shrew. Gillian doesn’t give a sh*t anymore; she’s giant and angry for a reason!
Sydney’s Tom Cashman is debuting his show Good at the 2018 Perth FRINGE WORLD Festival. Having featured in last year’s Comedy Zone showcase at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and played shows around Australia, Tom’s FRINGE WORLD debut is guaranteed to be a solid hour of laughs. Get tickets now!
Speeding madly towards 60, instead of putting on the brakes and moving to the slow lane, ‘Gran In A Van’ hits the accelerator and takes us on a wild adventure about living in a campervan, portaloo mishaps, sinister snakes and an irrational fear of the dark. Starting stand-up late in life, this Grandma of four has never quite grown up herself.

A strikingly truthful tale of one woman’s voyage to connect with her convict past. Take a trip down blackout lane and celebrate the fact that she’s still standing.
Three astronauts have been sent on a mission to collect rare and magical space rocks, but where in the Universe are they? The team need your help!

BA BY W EARING W IT H BEY DANCE
A mad scientist is trapped between dimensions. Will he find a way to teleport back? All will be revealed in this crazy and dynamic show, that is part magic and illusion, part science, all fun and learning! Perfect for schools and families. SOLD OUT & Nominated ‘Best Children’s Entertainment’, FRINGE WORLD.
Liz Cahalan from Bey Dance wanted to keep dancing once her daughter was born. Dancing around the house with a new born in an Ergo evolved into a dance class for other parents and carers of young children. Baby Wearing dance is an amazing way to reconnect to your old, dance-loving self while bonding with your new tiny human. Older children welcome.

BEY PARTY
B I N G AY !
C O M E D Y HY P NO T IS T M AT T HA L E : M IND F O O L NE S S
So you ARE Beyonce always? Come party with the divas of Bey Dance. This Beyonce obsessed event features special guests, DJs, a raging dance floor and, most importantly, a breakdown of all of Bey’s most iconic dance moves so you’re performance ready always just like our Queen herself. Dress in theme, be ready to move and celebrate your fierceness.
For those who haven’t been before, the concept is simple - it’s bingo, hosted by a drag queen. It’s rude, it’s crude, and you’ll probably win a dildo thanks to Libido Adult Superstores.

COMED Y H YP N OTIST MATT H A LE: MIN D FOOLN ESS
The critically acclaimed British character comedian makes her Perth debut with the award-winning, international sellout wedding comedy that took Adelaide and Melbourne by storm last year.
From the team that bought you Bogan Shakespeare comes an entirely new beast, Bogan Literature! Taking the classics of the literary world and asking the question, what if they were more Bogan? Pride & Prejudice will follow the story of Lizzy as she tries to assert her independence and possibly find a bloke who isnt a total sh*t head.
Back for their third straight year after yet another sold out season, Bogan Shakespeare is bringing you Hamlet. In the country town of Denmark you’ll find a local pub know as the Crown. It’s a pretty eventful place between the ear poisonings and ghost sightings. Here you’ll find Hamlet, a young bloke looking for power, revenge and of course, love.
Real Hypnosis, Real Fun! The award nom hit of FRINGE WORLD 2017 (24 sellouts!) returns with a brand new stack of LOL feelgood suggestions. Enjoy from audience or stage, you choose!
“A master of character comedy” - British Comedy Guide, “Laugh out loud hilarious” - Marie-Claire Edinburgh Guide Funny Women Everything Adelaide
“Has audiences drooling with laughter” - Cream 2017 “A charming show!” - The West Australian 2017 “Hilarious, highly entertaining, so far from cliche” - Xpress 2017

After two sell-out seasons at FRINGE WORLD as the host of all-female revue Baby Got Back, stripper comic Chase Paradise is unleashing her first solo show. With tales from the lap room, fart jokes and original songs like F#ck You Pay Me, she’ll have you laughing, crying and - most importantly - never looking at exotic dancers the same way again.
Part sketch comedy. Part memoir. Full on nostalgic mayhem! Noughty Girls is a non-stop hour of outrageous comedy, bootylicious dance moves, and all the best 2000s pop culture references brought to you in matching pink velour tracksuits. Get ready for a very ‘noughty’ trip down memory lane!
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Meet our seven deadly sinners; lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride who are hotter than hell with looks that could kill... Don’t be scared to take a walk on the wild side, every sinner has a story. Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
When Adam hears about an arts festival happening on the other side of the country, he relishes the opportunity to reconnect with an old mate. His friend was never the boring type, this trip could be exactly what he needs. Surely the rumours of his cohabitation with a sequestered illusionist are untrue? And where is his friends sister?
