What's On in Adelaide

Schalk Bezuidenhout is back with a brand new show. His first and (hopefully, for the love of all things good) only show post divorce. Schalk hasn’t checked in with you all in sometime and he wants to talk to you. Actually… he NEEDS to talk to you! Why? Because it’s cheaper than therapy. That’s why!    ‘Rapid-fire gags and manic energy. Highly recommended.’ ★★★★ – The Age. As seen on Netflix and Comedy Central. Arena tour support for Trevor Noah.   ★★★★★ Ed Fringe Review   ★★★★ Mervyn Stutter   ★★★★ Broadway Baby  ‘Fast-rising talent’ The Guardian   Age guidance: 14+  Includes strong language  *Please note this is a seated event. Seats are on a first come, first served basis. Arrive at the venue early to secure seats.

The most radical thing you can do at the Fringe this year is listen. Inspired by the global Human Library movement, born from the belief that conversation can challenge stigma, this is a living library where the books are human and the stories are real. Step into the cellar beneath the Lion Hotel, a space that has held stories for generations. There you will find people sharing lived experiences of grief, addiction, resilience, survival and everything in between. There is no stage, no script, no performance to applaud. Just small, intimate circles where listening is enough. You don’t have to speak. You can stay. You can step away. You are in control. This is performance through presence and connection. Don’t just check out a show. Check in with a human.

Tumble down The Kaye Hole with Reuben Kaye for the ultimate night out this Adelaide Fringe. Queer, messy, fast, loose and f#%king hilarious. The hottest late-night ticket in town where the riskiest and most diverse acts let loose, all backed by a live band. This is a comedy variety show unlike any other, all led by international powerhouse Reuben Kaye. With sold-out runs wherever it goes, this is not a night to be missed. ★★★★★ "It. Is. Carnage." Miro Magazine ★★★★★ "Sign up to the church of Reuben Kaye." Time Out ★★★★★ "An explosion of energy, high camp, big notes and filthy humour" Scottish Sun ★★★★★ "Hilarious, outrageous and bloody fabulous." Adelaide Advertiser ★★★★★ "Gob-smacking, phenomenal, extraordinary." Stage Whispers ★★★★★ "A night you won't forget." Deadline
