The Cabaret Fringe Festival is an open-access arts festival held annually each June in Adelaide, South Australia — and the fun started today.
Now in its fifth year, the Cabaret Fringe features the best of homegrown and national talent side by side – representing the breadth of artistic expression in Cabaret in Australia.
From Berlin to Broadway, Downtown to Outback – artists have found a home and a dedicated audience for Cabaret each June in the clubs, bars and venues of Adelaide.
Founded by brothers Paul & Adam Boylon and Jay Robinson in 2008, the festival celebrates the art form of Cabaret. In 2009, cabaret artist and award-winning producer Sidonie Henbest came on board to develop the festival. They have made a long-term commitment to nurture Cabaret in South Australia, providing independent creators and producers with a platform to develop their art.
From humble beginnings in 2008 when a modest number of shows were staged at cabaret club La Bohème over a few weeks in June, the Cabaret Fringe Festival now sees over 50 acts performing at venues all around Adelaide across the month.
