A new collection of smart, funny and deeply moving story-songs inspired by current affairs, family affairs and affairs of the heart. A perfect way to start your day at the Fringe.

From the creator of the award-winning Fringe and Off-Broadway show Jewish Chronicles. 

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). 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. 'Furniture,' writes one reviewer, 'has never been more moving'.

Today is Sutton's wedding day. Dana has been invited, but Dan will be in attendance. Dan who was once Dana. Beloved by audiences and critics alike, ALTAR is a tender and fervent exploration of growing up and into queerness, or away from it. Em Tambree's striking debut has been described by critics as 'a rallying cry' (RyanHamilton.work), and 'a play that necessitates the existence of theatre itself' (PraiseDionysus, podcast). The sold-out Australian premiere was featured for Best Theatre of 2024 (Keith Gow) and 2024 Playwright to Watch (Guy Webster). ALTAR was commissioned by Midsumma Festival and developed with the generous support of Abbotsford Convent. Say "I do" & RSVP to ALTAR's international premiere this summer at Underbelly.

Fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off will love this.  Returning to the Fringe for the FIFTH time due to phenomenal demand, this Oscar Wilde twist is guaranteed to have you in stitches.  When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde's classic play gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan... that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue.

A knight pulls a sword from a stone and, as the prophecy foretold – becomes king. No, not that king. Another one. Totally different one. This one is in love with his horse. A clown tale of courage, duty, determination, brotherhood (shoutout to the round table!), grief, and most of all, horses. A wild romp through a medieval world you thought you knew. A ye olde show brought to you by Madeleine Rowe. Madeleine Rowe (they/them) is a clown, artist, and teacher from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Madeleine recently sold out a run of their clown solo show Honey, I’m Home at Open Eye Theatre. Other theatrical credits include clown opera, Orpheus in the Underworld -a Spymonkey co-production at the Vienna Volksoper- as well as shows with Four Humors, Clarence Brown Theater, and Yellow Tree Theater. Madeleine’s training includes renowned clown teacher Philippe Gaulier, acclaimed British comedy troupe Spymonkey, MFA Actor training from the University of TN, and a BA in performance from Augsburg University.

Literature! Literature! Literature! It might not rhyme with anything but it's still very important.​ Garry Starr is back and he's hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. Mostly naked (but with flippers). Comic wunderkind Starr takes us on a literary adventure through the world's most iconic works of fiction. From The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery. 'A very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers' ***** (Scotsman).
