Welcome from the Premier There’s something for everyone at FRINGE and the 2019 program is no exception with a range of entertainment for the young and the young at heart. The 2019 FRINGE WORLD Festival includes over 700 events from top international, national and local acts. Western Australian artists make up 51 per cent of the events on offer and we are particularly proud of our homegrown heroes. With events at 138 venues across the State, the Festival has extended its reach this year, activating hubs in the Perth CBD, Northbridge and throughout Perth’s suburbs. In the regions FRINGE will visit Geraldton with the Funtavia program and the Outer Fringe tour will visit Merredin, Northam, Ravensthorpe and Katanning. The FRINGE WORLD Festival has grown into the largest annual festival in the State and the third largest Fringe Festival in the world.

FRINGE provides significant economic, tourism and employment opportunities for the State. The 2018 Festival included an audience of more than 900,000 attendees, $8.6 million in gross box office returns delivered to artists and more than 1,500 jobs and volunteer opportunities. Through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and Lotterywest, the State Government is proud to support the 2019 FRINGE WORLD Festival. I invite you to take a look through this program to start planning your FRINGE WORLD Festival experience.

5. Support Fringe Artists!

Fringe Pros know that the best way to experience the Festival is to go on a Fringe Binge!

There are two main ingredients to the magic of Fringe. The first is the artists. The second is you, the people of Perth who love your Fringe and come out and see the shows. There are more of you every year and both FRINGE WORLD and the artists love you for it.

Plan ahead and get your shows sorted before the Festival starts as many shows sell out. At fringeworld.com.au you can use our handy Favourites function to save your big list of shows, before you whittle down to your top pics. Visit fringefeed.com.au for Fringe News and during the Festival there will be new Reviews posted daily. Check back in and see what shows are rated as a must see! If you prefer to talk to a human, head to a Box Office to chat with our staff and during the Fringe you’ll see our fabulous artists roaming around the Hubs ready to tell you about their show and help you choose something to see.

Fringe is a Festival where anyone can have a go and everyone is taking a gamble on whether they’ll have a successful season. When you buy tickets to a Fringe show you are directly helping the participants. The more shows you see, the more you are supporting the independent artists that perform and present shows in the Festival. Cheers! See as many different shows in as many different venues as possible and take a risk – see something spontaneous – it might just be your favourite show of the season. You’re also doing Fringe right when you’ve added at least a couple of Western Australian shows to your Fringe Binge line-up! If you’re interested in finding out more about how Fringe supports its artists please visit fringe.world/support

You’ll love it. Do you dare? amidnightvisit.com

Presented by Strut & Fret Production House

Ali Bodycoat: From Bodycoat to Barbra. Barbra Streisand - the ultimate icon, with a repertoire that spans generations and lends musical memories to every emotion.

The twilight years of teenage-dom and the infant years of grownup-dom. The thoughts, challenges, excitement and dread. A story of coming of age told through the ageless craft of circus.

An Incompetent Life, a short look into a life that could’ve gone a bit better. Brian Poller looks at life just a little bit differently; using incompetence to gain success – or at least one version of success. This one-man show has been more than 50 years in the making: a soaring saga of disaster and comedy; inanity and depth.

It’s no secret that the Northern Territory is Australia’s Florida - it’s where we hide all our crazy. From the top-end comes Amy Hetherington and her precarious balance of infectious optimism and tales of Darwin’s batsh*t insanity. “A mixture of cheekiness and cheeriness. A little bit Celia Pacquola-ish. Very good” Pedestrian, 2017.

Comedy Cardinal Sins ‘Court out!’

Carey Marx

Catching Rainbows

Presented by Frank Hampster

Presented by Best Of British Productions

Presented by Kerry Leigh

In this 3rd installment of the Cardinal Sins trilogy, Frank rips apart the Catholic Church’s veil of secrecy through song, stories and interpretive dance. No one is safe. Not even thy clergy who art in prison. The first show was about Frank, the second about George, the third gets to the other Church-based criminals. Nominated Best Comedy 2017 & 2018.

‘What it really takes to achieve all your dreams is a long long sleep,’ says Carey in his funniest, grumpiest show yet. The award-winning comedian is unhappy: even clown clothes don’t fit him and he’s not allowed to take his emotionalsupport-gun on planes. “Anecdotally debauched”  The Herald. “A comedy master”  The Scotsman.

It’s everyone’s favourite improvised comedy troupe, The Big HOO-HAA! Only filthier. Much, much filthier. In the style of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Dirty HOO-HAA! sees two teams of fearless comedians take to the stage to do battle in a competition of wit, humour and bad mime skills. It’s a pants down race to the dirty punch line.

Susie is back with her unique brand of cynicism, solid hardhitting punchlines and now explains why she is a disaster at all things domestic - and more! “The ever-reliable Susie McCabe”  Scotsman. “About as far down the opposite end from disappointing as you could get”  Broadway Baby. “A genuine Stand Up and Storyteller” Kevin Bridges.

Two girls, one fabric. It’s a party in your pants and jacket. Michelle Brasier (Aunty Donna’s 1999) and Laura Frew gift you an hour of high-energy silliness, 90s nostalgia, and a lot of denim. Double Denim is a kid’s party for grownups. WINNER: Sydney Comedy Festival Best Newcomer 2018. “It is, in short a blast”  Chortle, 2017.

Canadian comedian Amy Cunningham tells something called The Boot Story. Because The Boot Story is a crowd pleaser - and crowds are better when they’re pleased. A show about containers. And wrappers. And skin sacs. And borders. The parts that shape and define, and constrict and separate. Like a boot stuck to a foot. Or a gender stuck to a body.

Top UK improv stars present late-night games, scenes, songs and puns galore, in this unique and whip-smart melee of makeem-ups! Featuring award-winning performers from Racing Minds, Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes and Austentatious.

What happens when you cross the hottest, rudest party game of the last decade with the sharpest minds that the Aussie Improv scene has to offer? You get Improv Attacks Humanity. Armed with what can be at best described as a politically incorrect card game and at worse an offensively brilliant premise, the cast are truly at the whim of the audience.

Get those D20s ready - the smash hit combo of improvised comedy and the world’s most famous roleplaying game is back! Take the epicness of a well-run D&D campaign, combine it with the hilarity of improv comedy, spice it up with a live audience, and what you get is a show that won’t disappoint!

Just For Funny: A Festival Showcase

Presented by Josh Glanc and Dead Man

Presented by Michael Connell

Presented by Matt Harvey

WINNER: BEST COMEDY FRINGE WORLD 2017.

Juggling seems like a pretty useless skill, but is it? Juggling will teach you how to learn pretty much anything - even the art of love. Impressive juggling. Hilarious comedy. Smooth jazz - if Cirque Du Soleil hooked up with Seinfeld in a French Nightclub you might get a show like this. WINNER: Short n Sweet’s Best Cabaret Artist Award.

A showcase of festival acts you need to see. Previous shows have included Best Comedy winners, award winners, international comedians, RAW Comedy winners, five-star comedians, comedy writers and even a comedian or two who have done some impressive TV spots (QI, Good As Friday, Comedy Up Late). You never know who will come in.

Presented by A-List Entertainment

 The Age.  The Coast. Queen Margaret was the original Cersei Lannister. She was the model for Claire Underwood. She was a woman so cutthroat and cold, she would give Lady Macbeth a run for her money. Only, none of that is true. The way we view women in positions of power hasn’t changed much

Comedy that’s part quiz show, part magic, part side-show and part... lady parts. Unlike any comedy you’ve ever seen... or will see... and can’t unsee. Featuring Slash... not the musician. Contains: Strong Nudity, Nut Free. “Springer is charming and funny and no doubt highly regarded in her community” Fringe Feed, 2017.

3 shows only! The Advertiser put it best: “Simon Taylor is not just a comedian - he is a singer, dancer, actor and magician all rolled into one.” Come see Australia’s most versatile comedian after his breakout ABC stand-up special, writing for The Tonight Show and his appearance in the hit Netflix series Magic for Humans.  The Age.

Squirly is: Dying on Stage

Presented by Euphorium Creative

Presented by Shea Faithfull

A one-man comedy show by comedian, student and part-time cult leader, Rhett Farmer. Follow Rhett on an adventure from Geraldton to Mexico as he attempts to play all the characters he meets himself since no one else rocked up to rehearsals. (no idea about venue or time so can you guys put that in here... this isn’t a joke, I’m being serious - Rhett)

Dying on stage...The worst feeling a comic can imagine and an essential learning curve to true funniness. Squirly chronicles his journey from an unintentionally hilarious eulogy speech to telling jokes to a packed Melbournian crowd of 1500 people back to the cringe-inducing feeling of performing exclusively to a non-English speaking Swedish couple.

Triple Cream Comedy Showcase

Presented by Flash in the Can

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes: Tom Skelton puts on his favourite Shakespeare, but it only has one actor (himself ), who’s registered blind and who might not know all his lines. A fiercely funny farce ensues, as character comedy maverick Skelton presents his unique Macbeth. “Deliciously talented” The Guardian.

The only problem was his hearing was rapidly deteriorating. Now he’s ready to tell his story... and since every music critic in reality wants to be on stage - he’s written a musical!

Opposites Attract

Reina Sofía De Nada

Presented by The Blue Room Theatre Summer Nights & Kallo Collective

Presented by Atomic Silver and Gold Fusion. Supported by Inspiring Australia and Scitech.

Presented by Sofia Pratt

Only Bones v1.0 is an exquisite piece of minimalist micro-physical theatre by New Zealanders Thom Monckton and Gemma Tweedie, and Finland’s Kallo Collective. With its quirky, low-tech aesthetic, using Monckton’s bendy body, wiggly hands, and seemingly uncontrollable face, Only Bones has toured to more than 13 different countries around the world.

Can this odd couple reconcile their differences and join forces to discover the truth about the attraction of opposites? Let this duo’s explosive blend of experiments, comedy and dance take you on an adventure through the world of science as they explore the significance of both passion and reason in the pursuit of truth.

Once more down the rabbit hole! Following on from FRINGE WORLD award-winning Loco and awardnominated Tableau/Tablao, Reina Sofía de Nada is flamenco dancer Sofia Pratt’s latest free-fall into contemporary dance, mad rhythm and even madder spoken word. Sound, sweat, passion, poetry. Featuring percussionist Jackson Vickery and other friends.

Andrews Sisters performed by the Swing Sisters with Oz Big Band

Presented by Kelly Curran

Tickets: $20.50-$29.50

Local artist performing a collection of originals and covers. Fall in love with tracks you know all over again with her fresh, ambient arrangements. “Whether it’s the lyrical construction, the dreamy voice, or her humble and grounded ambiance, there’ll be something you’ll appreciate about upand-coming artist, Keeley Connolly.” Rabbit Radio.

Oceanic and tango rhythms intertwine under mystical melodies in this steamy new cycle of songs and sounds. From rollicking sea shanties to sailors’ laments, join The Sultry Sirens on Kelly Curran’s latest musical adventure. Featuring Caitlin Cassidy (voice), Sarah Saunders (accordion) and Julia Watson (violin), expect a fiery and fabulous fling.

When you scream into the void it’s a little bit helpful to hear other people screaming back. Featuring soulful singing, some existential dread and a healthy dose of general dysfunction, Am I Doing It?? is less a show and more a place to share in the awkward uncertainty of growing up and figuring life out in your 20s. Are you doing it?

Presented by The Blue Room Theatre Summer Nights & Spooky Rainbows

Everyone has a soundtrack to their life - songs you dance to, songs you sing in the car and songs you think you know all the words to! “A fun and fast-paced musical odyssey”  “Hands down, both the funnest and funniest show”  “Part stand-up, part dance party, part singalong & 100% fun”  EdFringe Review, 2018.

The Surrealist Salon offers nightly soirées at the Metro City rooftop bar during DALI LAND. Running from 10pm til 5am, Mysteria Maxima Media curates a selection of top local and touring bands, DJs, VJs, performance artists, burlesque acts, comedians and oddities. Set your imagination on fire with sights and sounds designed to melt the mind!

The year is 1956. Paula and her gang of teenage girls do the unthinkable: they dress like boys, they rob gas stations…and they sing! Using an Ed Wood-penned exploitation classic and mashing it up with 2018 sensibilities, The Violent Years (1956) is a queer cult cinema garage rock musical.

Nat Lunatrick is a captivating performer who combines a dry English wit with slick and clean tricks. Circus trained but vaudeville influenced - Nat rolls Top Hats, juggles various weird objects and stages a unique and stunning grand finale. 6 hoops in 6 directions while balanced upon a giant unicycle. English Gent or Anarchic Trickster? You decide.

Collectif Primavez presents ‘Playground’. The artist, Miguel Rubio, uses his Chinese pole to present a comical, and sometimes absurd, spectacle that reaches up to 6 meters high during the 45 minute performance. With this show, he won the First Prize of Gentse Feesten in 2018, Ghent, Belgium.

Trustworthy, a**hole, role-model, prick. Who’s your daddy? Three fully grown men in onesies explore the shifting nature of their relationships with their fathers, tackling masculinity, connection, and legacy in a room filled with the most pillows you have ever seen in one place.

Site-specific caffeine-infused drama. F**k Decaf explores our addiction to love in a bold new way. Add shattered china, coffee shots, plus a desperately cute waiter.

Feminah is one woman’s pursuit of true vulgarity, monstrousness and zero f*cks; a cabaret of female driven pop songs spanning fifty years paired with the ultimate rebellion against femininity. It’s a power ballad for women who censor themselves: this is what happens when a woman refuses the idea of ‘having it all’ and instead, annihilates it.

The most famous Greek comedy of all time, Lysistrata tells the story of a woman’s extraordinary mission to end the war by denying all the men of the land any sex.

An eerily relevant expressionist drama in which a woman questions the expectations of the mechanised society that surrounds her. It is based on the true story of Ruth Synder who was executed in 1928 for murdering her husband. “I’ve submitted to enough – I won’t submit to any more”.

Presented by Summer Nights, The Royal Court, Izzy McDonald and Gavin Roach

Presented by The American School of Vietnam

Presented by tempest theatre

No rehearsal, no preparation, just the thoughts of one woman when she thinks about sex with men. A different man every night is charged with reading her script aloud, sight unseen, in front of an audience – you! Originally presented by The Royal Court, Manwatching is a funny, frank, and occasionally explicit insight into heterosexual female desire.

Where are you from? Me. Asian? explores this question from the perspective of a group of young theatre-makers living in Vietnam. Verbatim interviews and physical theatre intertwine with cultural music and dance to discover how we navigate the clash between technology, the West and tradition, and what it means to truly belong in the 21st Century.

Murder? She Asked. Friday is on the case. Breaking a story like this - it could be everything. More followers. A daytime TV appearance. Maybe even a book deal with an online-only publisher. After all, good murders don’t come around every day. A satirical take on our true-crime saturated media, this neo-noir murder mystery is definitely, definitely, very serious.

The Queen of Farewells: the most famous opera singer in the world retired officially in 1926 at Covent Garden but had so many farewell tours and concerts that the sarcastic expression ‘Doing a Melba’ became a byword. This is one of those final farewells. A farce by Dawn Farnham.

Presented by Euphorium Creative

A man stands at a woman’s front door, soaking wet, unexpected. He is older. She has grown-up, but he is not ready to admit that she’s no longer the girl he left behind. Written in response to Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, Paper Doll is gripping, unmissable theatre that will leave audiences breathless. ½ Arts Hub, 2017.

Peter Davies’ debut show, Phasing, explores the adventures of two friends as they brave a range of phases from paranoia to pretentious. Done in a comedic and sometimes melodramatic style, the two friends learn that their adventures will get them into all sorts of trouble. How will they overcome their struggles when their very lives are on the line?

Andrew moves to Singapore, where his features shine and his skin is extra-white. But, in profile, he still looks like a child’s drawing of a shark. Nauseating, grotesquely funny and brutally aware, prepare to Eat, Prey, Hate in this autobiographical takedown of western travel narratives and Australia’s fetishisation of Asia.

What is it to stop briefly in a place of eternal rest? And to explore a space that is never open after dark? Rest is an immersive theatre experience at East Perth Cemeteries. It leads you through stories hidden in the graveyards. Is what is hidden here, also hidden in you? Brought to you by multi-award-winning WAYTCo and the National Trust of WA.

The Hayman Theatre, SpaciallyBi, And What’s My Line presents ‘Transfiguration’. ‘Why can’t I live my life as me and not as who people want me to be!’ Tyler has a ‘secret’. He’s transgender. Watch as he comes out to family and friends and see how one may experience coming out in current society. Being yourself is hard but it’s definitely worth it.

Experience this exceptional form of theatre-making that crashes boundaries and common types of storytelling. Step into the world of four women. They speak, they move and test out their limits of distance and affection by occupying a space with all their might. Close, intense, confronting, slow, fast, quite, loud, immersive and triggering emotions.

Lift up my skirt and be served a humorous and flirtatious afternoon tea! Under my Skirt, by Jennifer McMillan, invites you to an intimate environment that encourages participation and reflection on social expectation. The performance takes place underneath an enormous skirt, alluding to what is absurd about the rules of society.

Inside city streets there are untold stories; people we do not see, conversations we do not hear, sadness we do not feel and fear we can not understand. Annie may be just one woman living on these streets, but she has many real stories to share from deep within the Perth homeless community. Piece by piece the audience is woven into these stories.

This project is an exploration of the domestic space as an expression of the inner self, creating confessional work with exposure of lack of private space as a method of expressing personal emotional experiences.

Neil Elliott: Creations from the man cave

Tickets: Free

Creations from the man cave is a sculpture exhibition featuring playful, handcrafted objects made from reused materials. Local artist Neil Elliott aims to explore, have fun, and to promote skills associated with recycling, up-cycling and repurposing.

This textile piece by local artist, Leah Vlatko, takes the form of a large-scale weave, which audiences are invited to contribute to over the span of the exhibition. Casting aside the traditional no-touching rules of galleries, participants are asked to select yarn in response to certain questions about who they are and how they feel.

The Ngurra Nyingu ‘We are from this Country’ Art Exhibition is a contemporary extension of Woodside’s respect for Aboriginal culture. The exhibit has evolved over the past 11 years and showcases the importance of art and culture amongst the Aboriginal groups in Roebourne and surrounding communities across the City of Karratha.

Award-winning Yaruwu artist Robert Andrew addresses the complexity of belonging to mixed ancestry, combining high-tech engineering with the sacred and ancient materiality of ochre and natural artifacts. This is a breathtaking, immersive experience where large kinetic artworks slowly and elegantly erode themselves over time. No two visits are alike.

the colour of earth

Presented by Shopfront Gallery NMTAFE

Presented by Tasha Faye

In her first solo show, local artist Anjilene Phoenix examines the life of the itinerant artist and performer. This body of work is inspired by her experiences of working as a pavement artist and living statue. Her work explores symbiotic relationships and how they play a crucial role in the pursuit of one’s dream to travel and make art.

the colour of earth is a photo series that explores the distinct identities of women of colour in WA and their experiences; what it means to exist in this world as a woman and non-white, and a celebration of our differences and growth in a world that threatens to stem it, a world that would rather people like us not exist, let alone thrive.
