In this absurdist comedy from writer-performer Emily Weitzman, boyfriends are armchairs, lampshades and futons. Hailed as 'hilarious', 'weirdly poignant' and 'loopily, luminously charming' (BuzzPei.com), Furniture Boys explores how furniture endures, but boyfriends – not so much. Blending theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom, this one-woman show has been called 'imaginative, thoughtful, playful, hilarious and relentlessly, infectiously joyous' (BuzzPei.com). A tale of pull-out couches and break-ups and art-making, Furniture Boys examines the impermanence of a relationship, an artistic project, a person, a chair, a self. Winner of Theatre’s Choice at Off-Broadway’s SoHo Playhouse in NYC, the Fringiest Show Award at the 2025 Orlando Fringe FestN4, and the 2024 Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Award. Directed by Kate Doyle. 'Furniture,' writes one reviewer, 'has never been more moving'.  

Bobby Award-winning comedy following Johnny, an 18-year-old at an all-boys boarding school. He ambles through daily life, Britney in his ears, failing to fit into the school's (rather rigid) mould. Enter Harry, the rugby golden boy. To save time, Johnny and Harry shag. Constantly. This isn't a coming out story or a gay tragedy and it is definitely not porn. It is life through the lens of a young queer man, navigating Grindr, hyper-masculinity and an institution rife with shame.

Magic seamlessly meets theatre in Lin Lu-Chieh's engaging autobiographical solo show. Confident and captivating, this young, self-taught master of prestidigitation offers up a true and touching coming-of-age story that couples delightful 'How did he do that?' sleight-of-hand with warm-hearted observations on the sometimes painful yet often humorous process of growing up. His sincerity and skill shine through. Gently laced with audience participation, this entertaining and universally relatable performance is about finding yourself by doing what you love.  Dazed and Confused tells the story of a child growing up in rural Taiwan, discovering their unique talents amidst the trials of life.

Let’s go back to the 2000s. Lets ‘ed up North. Nokia bricks in every pocket. Myspace Top 8s. Lads mags. Kappa tracksuits… But what if you didn’t quite fit the mold? Meet David — 13, mixed-Jamaican-heritage, and newly uprooted from the city to a small, working-class Northern town where he sticks out like a sore thumb. As he tries to settle into his new life, dodging Myspace drama and dodgy fashion, he finds himself caught in an identity crisis he never asked for: slowly losing touch with his roots in a place that doesn’t quite know what to do with him. Funny, heartfelt and painfully nostalgic, A Small Town Northern Tale is a high-energy, one-man autobiographical comedy-drama that explores identity, belonging and cultural erasure — all told with sharp character work, humour and poignancy. Writer and performer Nathan Jonathan plays every character himself, celebrating the wild nostalgia of Y2K culture whilst interrogating how we remember these so-called “simpler times.” At its core, this is a Black-British coming-of-age story — shaped by domestic abuse and life in a country wrestling with race, class, and regional inequality. It’s about growing up in a world that keeps trying to tell you who you are — and learning to finally push back.  

Two girls from opposite worlds are fated to meet on the late 00’s queer scene. After quickly forming an inseparable bond over their mutual idols, Tony Soprano and Lindsay Lohan, Erica and Jessie are on a mission to avenge a world that's only ever left them wanting. And why the hell shouldn’t they? Life’s screwed them, it’s time to screw life right back. Their code? Steal from the rich and give to the poor (that’s them by the way).  But just because Tony Soprano gets to do what he likes... can Erica and Jessie really rationalise their actions? From the creator behind the Fringe sensation, In PurSUEt, comes the hotly anticipated second show.... WANTED.

Dublin, 1997. Two friends prepare to compete for the crown of Alternative Miss Ireland with their Princess Diana drag act, under the nose of their hardline nationalist families.

A high-energy, fast-paced two-hander packed with comedy, courage and coming-of-age chaos.

The epic true story of the first Australian to win the Tour de France, live on stage. Performed entirely on a bike in an epic theatrical feat of endurance by acclaimed Australian actor Connor Delves. Pedalling non-stop for an hour, he recreates the thrilling journey of Cadel's 2011 Tour de France win, and all the triumphs, heartaches and sacrifices made along the way. “Connor's vision for this show is bold and exciting, and I'm thrilled to be involved from the start. He’ll be riding a BMC, just like I did (and do!), wearing the same yellow jersey I wore, and actually riding on stage every night... how cool is that? I love cycling, and I'm deeply honored that an Australian artist has been inspired to bring my story to life for audiences worldwide. I hope you enjoy CADEL, and I encourage you to support Connor and his creative journey in giving the show a long life. See you there!”– Cadel Evans
