Wonderland Spiegeltent is at the heart of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, bringing audiences all the glitz and glamour with world class live entertainment including cabaret, circus, burlesque and concerts.
The venue is situated in Hindmarsh Square/Mukata and will transport you back to an era of early 20th century charm and decadence with its intimate booths, circular stage, velvet and brocade décor and stained-glass windows.
Circus Wonderland presents an enchanting circus adventure for all ages: 'Peter Pan - A Neverland Adventure' brings all your favourite characters to the stage bringing the likes of Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell and Nana the dog to life in a fun-filled stage show. Awarded The Adelaide Fringe Festival BankSA Best Children’s and Family Show last year, this is one to take little imaginative minds to.
Glitter coated popcorn, anyone? Named after the Belgian club party subculture, 'Popcorn Underground' is a night of world-class cabaret, adult carnival, burlesque, astounding circus and extraordinary artists.
'The Absolutely 80s Smash Hits Show' pays tribute to '80s hits from around the world featuring some of Australia’s favourite '80s pop icons including Uncanny X-Men’s Brian Mannix, Kids In The Kitchen’s Scott Carne, Boom Crash Opera’s Dale Ryder and The Chantoozies’ Ally Fowler.
If you’ve just finished bingeing the second season of 'RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under', 'B.A.B.Z' is the show for you. The top three finalists, Kween Kong, Hannah Conda and 'Drag Race' winner Spankie Jackzon bring you a night of show-stopping fun.

A little something for the musically inclined – Melbourne band, Vaudeville Smash bring a unique sound to funk with a flute, sax and synth that’ll have you grooving all night long.
