Bubbles bubbles and more bubbles! It was absolutely bubble-tastic!!
Utilising lights, music & comedy both mum & dad could enjoy; Dr Bubbles and Milkshake took us on an adventure into space! Taking us through the galaxy and beyond while creating a very interactive and energetic atmosphere. Highlight of the show was of course Bubbles, but the charisma and interactivity of Dr Bubbles and milkshake is what made it so captivating. Even the youngest babies in the audience were mesmerised by the show. Toddlers wanting to catch the bubbles and older children IN the bubbles. If you’re looking for bubbles at this year’s Fringe, this is the show. Sit in the front rows if you can.

Dive into ‘The Flying Bubble Show’, where dreams and reality blur in a breathtaking fusion of bubble magic and aerial flying. Watch in awe as Maxwell the Bubbleologist soars through the sky, creating millions of shimmering bubbles with each leap and twirl. It’s a dazzling spectacle that will captivate both kids and adults, making it the perfect family day out.

“​Who said bubbles are just for kids?” This show has the WHOLE audience out of their seats to pop bubbles! Big bubbles, small bubbles, round bubbles, long bubbles, baby bubbles, smoky bubbles and of course double bubbles had us all captivated. Tip: sit in the front rows of this show to be fully immersed in the full bubble action! This is a great show for young families.

Take everything you know about balloons, add an award-winning entertainer, an 80s soundtrack, and twist that into a hilarious show for the whole family. Expect feverous balloon sculptures, high-energy comic performance and, of course, the all-important giant balloon!

⭐⭐⭐1/2

A highly engaging entertainer, who had the crowd in stitches with lots of fun crowd interaction, plus an hilarious finale (spoiler alert….it involves a giant balloon).

Set in the intimate bubble tent ‘The Lab’ at Fools Paradise in Victoria Square, it is the perfect family friendly venue with free mini golf and food and drink options to really help make this a great day out.

The highlight of course is the giant balloon finale, which the crowd loved, and at a snug 45 minutes this is ideally timed for the younger crowd.

Shapes are the silent language of our world, speaking to us through the very fabric of our surroundings. From the intricate patterns of nature to the towering edifices of our cities, shapes are omnipresent, subtly influencing our emotions and perceptions. Each shape whispers a different story, a distinct feeling, often unnoticed yet profoundly impactful. Imagine the architectural designs that envelop us — the lines, curves, and angles are not mere structures but emotional landscapes that shape our moods and thoughts.

One often hears young people described as the performers of the future. Forget that. These are the performers of now.

Kids in Adelaide Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our minds were blown at the ability and talent of these young performers! Shapes is an incredible showcase of local acrobatic and gymnastic talent in a fun and engaging performance.

This is a show that takes something we rarely notice (the shapes that make up our world) and turns it into something alive, something full of feeling. Through movement, design, and pure creative energy, we loved the energy and camaraderie that was on display.

These young performers bring so much skill, passion, and presence to the stage that you can’t help but be drawn in. It’s mesmerizing, thoughtful, and somehow both quiet and powerful at the same time.

This showcase is an exciting mix of acrobatics, hula hoops, flips and so much more. Its great for all ages and will leave a positive impression on all who attend.

Enter a world of glitter, sass, strength, and girlhood in Collective Circus’ newest work, Stir The Pot.

Tumbling through real experiences, this passionate group of fierce female circus performers explore what it is to be a woman today. The fragility, strength and ultimate longing for connection that we all feel is laid bare in a powerful celebration of bows, sparkle, and sheer muscle. Brace yourselves as you witness a gravity-defying, nail-biting exploration of girl power, that tackles everything from the restrictions placed on women by others and themselves, to the unity that can form as you undergo and overcome these challenges.

Returning to Adelaide Fringe after last year’s spectacular premiere: The incredible Afrique en Cirque is a show by Yamoussa Bangoura, inspired by daily life in Guinea. This performance shares the beauty, youth and artistry of African culture through a colourful show that will make any space vibrate with energy. It represents strength, agility and life’s joys of young Africans. The audience will see acrobats execute gravity defying moves and human pyramids, all to the contemporary sounds of Afro-Jazz, percussion, and Kora. Yamoussa Bangoura is a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin, who created the company Kalabanté Productions in 2007. Yamoussa always had a dream of founding a circus school and having his own company in African arts. As a young man, he studied the circus performers he saw on European TV and practised on the beach by his home. Eventually he joined Circus Baobab, Guinea’s original circus, and in the early 2000s he was recruited to perform in Canada. Living in Montreal for several years, the hub of circus in Canada, Yamoussa began to develop his own shows, which over the past several years have been increasingly gathering attention and recognition in the worldwide circus arts community.

Enter the Dream State, a visceral journey through the subconscious where each step pulls you deeper into the surreal.

This walk-through audiovisual experience unfolds like a dream—familiar yet strange—inviting you to cross the shifting thresholds of perception and imagination. Each room holds an essence that morphs and abstracts as you progress, embodying the way thoughts dissolve and reform in a dream.

Dream State blurs the boundaries of meaning and interpretation. The installation mirrors a cascade of evolving dreams, where seen becomes unseen, known becomes unknown, stillness gives way to movement, and silence transitions to sound.

You will emerge with fragments of an intangible story – one that lingers just out of reach, yet undeniably felt.

“Absolutely insane. Walking into Dream State is like stepping into another dimension. It’s weird, it’s wild, and you honestly have no idea what’s coming next. The whole thing has this trance-like vibe, with swirling lights and pulsing sounds that mess with your senses in the best way possible.

It’s definitely worth a walk-through if you’ve got half an hour to spare. Probably even better if you go on your own – you can really get lost in the experience without any distractions. It’s one of those things that you just have to see to understand.

Now, is it kid-friendly? Hard to say. It’s not scary, but it is intense. I wouldn’t take little ones, but older kids who don’t mind bright lights and crazy effects might get a kick out of it. Just know what you’re getting into, it’s not your usual Fringe show.

If you’re up for something different and don’t mind feeling a bit like you’re in a dream (or a crazy music video), Dream State is worth checking out. It’s strange, it’s unique, and it’s artistic brilliance at its most immersive.”

Fresh off stellar SELL-OUT SEASONS around Australia including FRINGE WORLD, Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and Sydney Spiegeltent – as well as internationally at Edinburgh Festival Fringe – prepare for a wild and raunchy, adults-only (18+) night of pure entertainment, magic and comedy with Sam, Justin, and Magnus ‘Danger’ Magnus.

They’ll unleash uproarious humour and mind-bending illusions from their worldwide stage experience, spiced with a dash of cheeky nudity!

This one is a fringe-favourite that will not soon be forgotten!

” Wow. Just wow! La Ronde has landed in Adelaide for the first time, and we’re calling it… this is the show to book for your next girls’ night out. In The Garden of Unearthly Delights, Strut & Fret have crafted a mesmerising blend of jaw-dropping acrobatics, side-splitting comedy, and just the right amount of spice.

From start to finish, it’s 90 minutes of absolute quality. The aerial acts are breathtaking, showcasing incredible strength and grace. The cast is not only supremely talented but also exudes a magnetic charm that keeps all eyes glued to the stage. Sam Goodburn, balancing on his unicycle and engaging the audience with effortless skill, brings a delightful lightness to the performance that had us in fits of laughter. And GiGi McFarlane is a true powerhouse, delivering vocals that sent shivers down our spines.

There’s a reason La Ronde has been receiving five-star reviews, and after experiencing it ourselves, we can confirm – it’s that good. It’s a roller coaster of emotions that culminates in a standing ovation. Seductive, funny, and wildly entertaining, this is one Fringe show you don’t want to miss!”

Bold, seductive, and utterly unrestrained, Rouge takes circus, cabaret, and burlesque, strips them down (literally) and blends them into a high-energy spectacle you won’t be able to look away from.

History of House was hands down the best party we’ve been to in ages! From start to finish, we didn’t leave the dance floor once—Groove Terminator is an absolute legend and the undisputed GOAT.

27 Club was absolutely fabulous, and we were lucky enough to have the powerhouse that is Sarah McLeod grace the stage for our performance! Her energy, talent, and rock star presence made the show unforgettable. The tribute to legendary musicians who passed away at the age of 27 was done with such heart and passion that it felt like a celebration of their legacy. Our only complaint? Why was this a seated show?! We really wished it had been a standing performance so we could dance, mosh, sway, and groove along to the incredible music. Still, with a stellar lineup and McLeod leading the charge, this is a show you won’t want to miss! Actually wish I took the kids. 

The 2024 weekly Spirit of the Fringe award winners are back for another lap around SA.

We were lucky enough to pick up tickets to comedy gold in the Western suburbs last night. Kel’s quick wit and Amy’s hilarious storytelling create a perfect comedic balance, leaving the crowd in stitches. Their playful banter and cheeky take on everyday situations make for a show that’s as relatable as it is hilarious. The venue itself (thanks Shapeshifter Brewery) added  to the charm, with its laid-back vibe perfectly complementing the duo’s lighthearted performance. These two know how to work the crowd, leaving everyone feeling like they’ve just had a laugh with old friends. Highly recommend this one for anyone looking for a fun, easygoing night out at the Fringe! We have been fans of Amys for a few years now, somthing about the Darwin in that girl, such an authentic funny talent, and often with some pretty relatable parenting stories – keep an eye out for her ‘Bring you Own Baby’ shows too.

Can you believe this is my 15th solo show?!? Not sure how that’s possible, given I’m only 24, but maths has never been my strong suit. This is for you, my friends and fans who keep coming to see me year after year and allowing me to work the best job in the world. Don’t worry; I’m not going anywhere, I’m just in the mood for a good laugh. For the newbies, this show is a signature hour of storytelling, delivered with all my trademark sass. Thanks for being here ❤️ Joel Creasey is one of Australia’s most popular stand-up comedians and radio presenters. He is the co-host of Australia’s number one national drive show, Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, on Nova and the proud owner of a sassy chow called Girlfriend.
