It’s smart, funny, and delightfully off‑kilter stand-up at this year’s Adelaide Fringe.
Self-Made Man is a deeply personal show that serves as a loving tribute to the arts, and the queer communities built around them.
Despite being an adaptation, Little Miss Julie finds itself being able to stand on its own two feet. The dynamics between the cast allow for something realistic, something understandable; all the while delivering tension in spades.
Beatles Dub Club is pure festival vibes. Inventive, energetic, and wildly fun.
We’ve Been Here Before feels deeply personal. Through songs and anecdotes, Kraft reflects on family relationships, an addict father, an overbearing mother and the complexities of love and identity, while tracing the emergence of a musician learning to channel pain into creativity.
Returning to Adelaide Fringe for the second time, Eyrie Improv has curated a rotating cast of glamorous local and interstate performers – none of whom know which song they will perform to, or even where they are on the line up. On the night I attended, I was dazzled and delighted by cast members Blake Cassette, Dutchess Laven Dear, Ember Rose, Peyton James, Mya Dia Monte and of course, Empress Eyrie herself.
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.
Six in The City portrays a comedic styling that marries tongue in cheek with razor-sharp wit.
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.
