Many of the best Fringe shows are all concept, no plot. Chookas is a clucking brilliant example of this universal truth. Three outstanding performers flock together to deliver a silly, surreal and utterly egg-warming ode to the humble chicken. If you like your eggs fried and chooks cooked, this is a must-see for you.

90 Day Comedian by Dalin Oliver is a warm, engaging stand-up show filled with hilarious anecdotes and enough cultural insight to leave audiences feeling like they’ve gained a few brain cells rather than lost them.

Marrying sketch comedy with absurdism and physical theatre, this super-slick and thoroughly enjoyable show is a masterclass in creating a profound theatrical piece for a ‘fringe’ context.

This show is classic Fringe fare, surprising, generous, hilarious and bonkers without losing the thread that links the artist to the audience.

This Must Be the Place by Sam Taunton is a warm, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt hour of storytelling that feels both deeply personal and instantly relatable. Built around the house he grew up in on Shoalhaven Street in Nowra, the show explores the strange nostalgia tied to the places that shape us. As well as the chaotic, hilarious memories that happen inside them.

Returning to the Adelaide Fringe for the first time since 2018, cult comedian David Correos has only gotten sharper and more focused with time. Luckily that’s not too focused, as Correos enters a chaotic comedy trance state that showcases his overactive mind.

So gather your girls, gays and theys, boots, hats and chaps, and ride at dawn becuase the sun sets on Florian Wild’s Midnight Rodeo this Sunday night. Until then, they’re taking this town.
