The Club is based in the Nexus Arts Centre in the west end, a hidden gem for catching the Fringe vibe without the crowds and fuss of the gardens. While it is too late for you to catch Confessions Club this Fringe season (with their final weekend selling out), if you’re looking for a spicy and great bang- for-buck night out next Fringe, be sure to catch Vol.IV in 2027 (hot tip: arrive early to grab yourself an aisle or front seat if you don’t want to miss any of the floor action or for a chance of audience participation – BYO safe word!).
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.

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.
