The world will return to Perth when Fringe World presents its bumper line-up of local, national, and international shows.


Throughout the festival there are 430 shows to choose from, and it’s heavy on the feel-good vibes, from big spectacular shows, to intimate, joyous shows. There’s guaranteed to be something for everyone.

There are cabaret, variety and circus shows to delight audiences with magic, acrobats, and risqué performances.

The ‘French and Saunders of drag’, Le Gateau Chocolat and Jonny Woo, bring their world-class show ‘A Night At The Musicals 3: Summer Loving Tour’. Plus, the Briefs boys return to Fringe World after touring Edinburgh and Sweden with ‘Dirty Laundry’. Those looking for a big party event to kick off the weekends, ‘Club Freak Out!’ Is for you.

Heartthrobs Head First Acrobats bring death-defying stunts in ‘GODZ’, and the cast of Yummy have cooked up a new show ‘Yummy Iconic’. Charlie Caper is guaranteed to turn anyone into a magic convert with his high-tech magic show, and West End star Ben Hart makes his Perth debut showcasing awe-inspiring magic.

In the realm of stand-up audiences can expect the likes of Ross Noble, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’ star Anita Wigl’it, Myra DuBois, Larry Dean, He Huang, and physical comedy riot ‘Table For Two?’.

If you’re looking for something a little different, Fringe World’s got a range of thought-provoking and theatre and performance shows, plus a range of other events in many genres. Families can experience ‘Wilbur The Optical Whale’ and Family Rave Day – Under The Sea. . . And if you’re looking for some live music, there’s a new show from Always Wine In Shiraz.

The strength of women will be interpreted through dance in ‘TARA—Tuatha Dé Danann’, meanwhile there’s all-male innovative dance show ‘He Him Homme’.

“With artists from all around Australia and the globe returning to Fringe World, audiences will be spoilt for choice when it comes to planning their Festival visits” ARTRAGE CEO Sharon Burgess says.

Showcasing both new artists and old festival favourites, we are asking the people of Perth to give artists a warm welcome back to WA for a summer festival full of good vibes and sell-out shows!”
