WELCOME Kerri Glasscock

The Hon Ben Franklin MLC

“This year’s program is an incredible testament to the resilience and passion of the independent arts sector in Sydney. Despite the immense difficulty of the past two years we are uniting to bring you all the work that has been bubbling away under the surface during lockdowns. With 500 shows, 9 festival hubs and work from every genre, there has never been a better time to get out and explore Sydney Fringe. This is our city’s festival, and a celebration of Sydney stories, so get ready because Fringe is Back and we need you.”

“The Sydney Fringe Festival is back and better than ever! Making a triumphant return after two years, the 2022 festival will feature over 500 productions and 2500 artists, spread across nine festival hubs and over 50 participating venues. To accommodate this massive program, the Festival has been extended by an extra two weeks. From small immersive experiences to large scale street parties, this year’s festival will showcase the diversity and energy of our creative community.”

“The Sydney Fringe Festival is an important and exciting event in Sydney’s cultural calendar. It is back bigger and better than ever, a year after Covid caused its cancellation in 2021.

With this year’s festival extended by two weeks, allowing a program of more than 500 shows, there is something on offer for everyone. We welcome the return of the Spiegeltent as well as special events for kids and young people. There is also a new micro-festival for artists with disability, comedy and cabaret in pop-up venues around the City, a fabulous closing night party, and much more.”

“Happy Fringe Festival from the Inner West. The beating heart of Sydney’s Arts community.

Lord Mayor City of Sydney

Mayor Inner West Council

We are proud to be a sponsor of the Sydney Fringe Festival and excited that the Sydney Fringe has found a home at Marrickville Town Hall.

We wish you all a successful and spectacular Festival and look forward to many more.”

The Hon Tony Burke MP

Lesley Watson

“I love the Sydney Fringe, always have. The small bars, converted spaces and the places where art just turns up, affect our city in the most wonderful way.

This is a big part of why I want to drive a new national cultural policy. The moments created by Sydney Fringe, and indeed, by all arts workers, don’t just entertain us, they make us question, and change how we see our city.

I can’t wait to see this year’s festival return and come to life. I know it will be a huge success. You may well find me in the back corner of the crowd.”

“A very big welcome to the 2022 Sydney Fringe Festival. We’ve worked tirelessly over the years with our colleagues in the independent arts sector, key stakeholders and governments, to champion the work of our artists, venues and creatives to enliven our creative and vibrant City. We are immensely proud of our ongoing advocacy work with governments to find lasting solutions to the issues facing the independent sector. I look forward to sharing this year’s Sydney Fringe Festival with you supporting and celebrating our local artists and venues.”

“The fringe scene is an unmatched place for emerging AND established artists to present ideas freely and to connect to other creatives. It is a playground for exploration and experimentation; audiences, as well as artists, can experience the huge spectrum of what performance and human expression can be.” C’S PICK - CHERRY VI

“This sector has birthed some of Sydney’s best creators who have their own unique artistic signatures, which couldn’t have been formed without early experimentations.

These artists create curate and mentor. They bring this custodianship of art to a new Australian identity, allowing space for the next generation to evolve and uphold our nation’s stories.”

“The independent arts scene is so important for Australia’s overall cultural success. It can connect with local communities in a way that large organisations physically cannot. It’s the breeding ground for new talent and ideas that can take the country and the world by storm.”

CULTURAL CONCIERGE

THE BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL STUDIO

Sydney Fringe Festival and World Square are proud to commission the incredible The Beautiful and Useful Studio to create a sensational, show-stopping inflatable artwork that will be housed at World Square throughout August and September.

The piece explores radical self-expression that is empowering, inclusive and playful.

The wearables worn by our Fringe Faces this year were created by Matthew Aberline and Maurice Goldberg from The Beautiful and Useful Studio. Their Sydney-based studio expands across a wide range of digital and analogue mediums, typically focusing on art fabrics and architectural forms, and their fun and gregarious fabric inflatables have gained global attention. With a Strong focus on sustainability, nearly all fabric used in the studio’s work is made from recycled PET plastic drinking bottles.

PRESENTED BY WORLD SQUARE

Want to grab some dumplings and see a drama, sip cabernet and watch a cabaret or hit up a drag show and dine? To complement the artwork, we are thrilled to introduce the Cultural Concierge Program.

Cultural Concierge will set up shop onsite at World Square from August 18 through September and will tailor the perfect Fringe experience, just for you. Let us guide you through the beast that is Fringe!

18 AUGUST ONWARDS WORLD SQUARE

“Our work is typically huge, we love playing with scale - so returning to human size, with the fabulous Demon and Victoria as models, was a real treat. We wanted to create something that used fashion as a means for joyous radical self-expression, something that is playful and makes people want to smile.”

HUB PROGRAM

36

Using colour, scale, and wildly expressive abstract art to tell important stories, Matt and Maurice have created work globally, including in NYC at the United Nations General Assembly, and the Oculus at the World Trade Centre for World Pride. Using fabrics made from recycled materials, this Fringe Wearables Collection is a flashback to previous fashion work, before evolving into creating architectural scale installations.

a few thousand Bunnings snags she may face the unthinkable - the process of Aus-mosis is nearing its completion.

THE CAMERA'S BEEN ON THE WHOLE TIME

In a dystopian not-so-distant Australia a woman secretly accepts delivery of a camera... When the authorities and their neighbours are always watching, can a couple survive when one is content to follow and the other wants to break free?

CAMERON DUGGAN & CHARLIE MCCANN WHAT THE H*LL Cameron Duggan (host of The Mugg Off Podcast) and Charlie McCann (frequent guest on The Mugg Off Podcast) are trying out some new material. They've talked about these jokes at the pub several times. It will be very loose, very fun, and most importantly- cheap!

CHERRY

On a cloud of cotton candy, Cherry takes you on an intimate, bubblegum, pop journey that hilariously and insightfully celebrates the power of music to transform and enlighten in this one woman's thank you card to her idol.

CHILD OF SUNDAY

Combining stories of faith, heartbreak, fraud and vulnerability with songs from the soundtrack of her life, Elisa Riddington narrates fables of her childhood as a preacher's kid and what it looks like to grow up in a community searching for hope.

CHRIS RYAN & SARAH GAUL - THE BEFORE PICTURE

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

CIRQUE DÉSOLÉ

Sarah Gaul and Chris Ryan could have packaged this up as raw and fresh, but instead, they respect you enough to tell you the truth: this is deeply unpolished, possibly unfeasible jokes and songs, delivered with hilarity nonetheless. They are literally just trying new jokes under the guise of a proper festival show.

A one-man show retelling Charles Dickens' classic tale of redemption and compassion. Will Bligh stars in this unique adaptation recreating Scrooge's world using lighting, sound and a wooden chair. Experience a dynamic and visceral performance as all of your favourite characters are brought to life on stage.

Packed with live music, rhyming pop culture rambles and an improv serenade's, The Happy Paradox highlights the humorous but often unseen aspects of Life that connect us all.

For over 15 years, he's been known as 'that guy who does Chopper', now Heath Franklin is stepping out from behind the moustache and giving 'that guy who does Heath' a crack.

It's a bit out of character, but it turns out Heath's pretty funny too.

This is an unapologetic show about waking up every day, feeling insane but getting on with it anyway.

Here's the pitch: Two comics (with a combined 30+ years in the game) go back and forth with 7 minute sets each for an hour of unbridled lols.

Two mates with vastly differing styles, dropping 8 blistering individual sets over an hour of ground-breaking hilarity.

HORNSBY'S GOLDEN GIRL will feature true stories, original poems, classic songs and funny stuff in a light, fun and just a little self-indulgent debut comedy show.

A queer, one person show about a Knight who rescues a Princess, has dinner with a Wizard, falls in love and learns something new about himself.

This is a stupid, ridiculous and pun stuffed coming-of-age adventure that marries the whimsy and logic of a 5 year old with a 30-something year old's observations about coming out.

by TV. Journey through some of your (but mostly Kristelle's) favourite TV shows/ movies and how they've shaped how we view the world.

MARK PITMAN FUTURE PROOF

Stand up comedian Mark Pitman returns with his new show 'FUTURE PROOF'.

Expect weird observations, a handful of bizarre stories and a few political & societal rants in this new hour of comedy.

Mark is also a presenter at 2ser radio, Sydney and the host of the podcast 'Scorpion and the frog'.

MARMALADE

Have you ever wanted to know: *What is the best safety tip when driving with a baby on board? *How to creatively handle a racist? *What is the number one thing you should never do on a first date?

If you answered yes to one or all of these questions, this show is for you.

A show about dealing with old people, woke people and how letting go of control leads to self empowerment.

MARY WILLIAMS: ALTERNATIVE SITTING POSITIONS

Sassy? Yes. Classy? Sometimes. Trashy?

Always. California native and former New Yorker, Mary, never imagined that she would injure her vag badly enough to lose the ability to sit in chairs.

Perhaps it's karma for peeing on those people below the elevated train tracks.

THE SAVAGERY OF SHEEP

Step into the warehouse, away from judging eyes as The Savagery of Sheep asks the questions, "Who's watching... and who would you be if they weren't?".

Four acrobats explore the familiar rhythms of modern society, exposing the primal instincts which seep out from the cracks in our façade of carefully constructed social constraints. Raw and gritty circus stripped of its sequins.

Joyfully and honestly exploring themes of diaspora, marvelling at the forces of tectonic power and the natural world, what binds us beneath the divisive architecture of the modern time? Class, race, gender, power and identity politics.

First rule of Secret Comedy Club? Only tell 100 friends about Secret Comedy Club! Each show, we secretly invite five of Sydney's best comedians to come and share their funniest material with you, making this the perfect way to enjoy stand-up comedy. These shows are in their 6th year of sell-outs, so, tell your friends - but book your tickets first!

SELF LOVE - A NEW MUSICAL

Self Love is a dark comedy that tells the tale of Frank, a lonely man who creates a clone of himself to keep him company.

This musical exploration of narcissism and relationships answers the age old dilemma of whether we would fight our clone or fall in love with it. Music and lyrics by Fenn Idle.

Northern England, 1965. Jennifer is emigrating to Australia leaving her mother Dotty with an empty nest.

Spanning three generations of women, this is a brand new play about love transcending separation and death. A poignant yet funny play in the style of gig theatre with original songs

SELINA JENKINS BOOBS

'BOOBS' is a ground-breaking tale of mammary proportions that follows one woman and her two boobs through a life changing decision, a million opinions, a natural disaster and an 'Australian first'.

A favourite of international audiences and comedians alike, Set List: Stand-Up Without a Net takes top comics out of their comfortable, carefully crafted routines and throws them head first into the unknown. A never before seen "set list" where comics must create stand-up set - on the spot.

SHAKESPEARE SUMMARISED

Hurdling through the works of William Shakespeare with songs ranging from Horrible Histories to Verdi.

Can't decide which comedians to see at Sydney Fringe? We've made it easy for you, with Fringe's best value comedy!

With a diverse range of comedians, and now in their 6th year of sold out shows, this is an ideal night out for couples or groups. Book early!

SEWER RAT GIRL

Life above ground getting you down?

Is the sun shining too brightly on your deep insecurities? Would you prefer a hairy body and night vision eyes but get scared there'll be no place in the world for you? Then there's never been a better time to meet Sewer Rat Girl! The rat-human hybrid who's rejected reality!

SHAMBOLIC DOODLES SHANE PORTER & Absurd stand up comedy. A surreal HAYDEN WRIGHT frolic through the thoughts of Peter MUG & MAYHEM Gleeson, a man who enjoys a bubble bath while listening to death metal. I mean surreal - like proper Salvador Dali surreal, not that time your aunty Linda once found a chip that looked like Steve Buscemi surreal.

See him while you still can, it's only a matter of time until he goes bush and starts a cult.

Inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings and many more fantasy worlds, Shane Porter and Hayden Wright improvise an entire world full of dangerous journeys, wondrous discoveries and grand storytelling.

A cabaret show built entirely upon suggestions from the audience.

No script, no rehearsal.

Just two performers, a crowd and a couple of microphones.

Simon Ward, with MD Steven Kramer, presents a show you have quite literally never seen before.

SOFTLY, SURELY

Speak, and Life's a tragedy, but sing, and it's a comedy.

Sing, say the wise, like no one's listening.

And no one is, not for long.

An unique blend of song, movement and their trademark comic fireworks, this exploration of the significance of music in our lives is the latest work by indie icons subtlenuance.

Australia's first Hindi comedy show for the NRIs by the NRIs. From struggles with getting a visa, finding a job and house, to struggle with finding love and medical facilities, we will leave no stone unturned. The show intends to make you laugh but also bring a nostalgic tear in your eye as you remember your own struggles.

UNPLANNED MELODIES IMPROVAGEDDON!

In this completely made-up show from Sydney's premier musical improvisers, get ready to face Doomsday...and dance. With a plot drawn entirely from audience suggestions, join Unplanned Melodies as they strive to survive whatever armageddon is thrown at them on the night.

A wedding takes place for two humble souls who wish to be wed. What is it that makes this wedding take a melodramatic turn for the worst...

Corruption? Love loss? An unholy alliance? One thing's for sure, there will be more than one attending this wedding, the question is, who is it?

THE UNRAVELLING

Immersive live music and film. Part planned, part improvised, this surrealist dream sequence is sweet, nostalgic, a little bit eerie & utterly mesmerising.

Winner of Best Music at the 2019 Melbourne Fringe, composers & performers Christina Higham & Victoria Cotta craft a genre bending soundtrack on pianos in real time. A silent movie symphony that tells a story like no other.

On the morning of their mother's funeral, four siblings grapple with their new-found grief as they await their father's return. While they wait, a neighbour delivers condolences in the form of food. The gift sends them down a rabbit hole of bickering, laughter and reflection. Fresh off a successful debut run at Adelaide Fringe, 'Unperturbed' is a new Australian play that examines an ordinary family's relationship with loss, levity and lasagne.

THE VEGETABLE PLOT

This beloved Aussie kids band first sprouted at the 2014 Sydney Fringe, winning the award for Best Children's Show. Since then, Aspara Gus, Ru Barb and Sir Paul McCarrotney have been playing their funky-fresh tunes across the globe. Serving up a show packed with veggie bangers like Avocado, Mango, and Pajamazon Jungle, they've added puppeteer Kay Yasugi to the mix this year for something extra tasty.

A disparate group is sharing space in a Soho bar, their only common ground.

Through voicing streams of overlapping thoughts, they open up and reveal the experiences that brought them to where they are.

A blend of indie-pop and punk rock, with musicians featuring jazz backgrounds, Wasteman is a four-piece homegrown Aussie band coming fresh out of Melbourne's northern suburbs.

Wasteman are on the warpath for bringing their music to you and rise up from the underbelly of Melbourne's music realm. For Wasteman, it is truly about the music; they love it, they live it, they play a lot of it.

WE ARE HERE TO F**K THE WEIRD SISTERS. We see Macbeth's three Weird Sisters SPIDERS (aka, The Witches) at the beginning Elliot Ryan is Sydney's premier (probably) 23 year old standup comedian with a sick mullet and a wispy pre-pubescent moustache that every 13 year old boy would be proud of!

and end of Shakespeare's play, but how do these siblings pass the time in-between? Inspired by audience input, The Weird Sisters is an improvised comedy focussing on all the "double, double toil and trouble" of sisterly relationships. Starring legendary improvisers Anne Wilson, Linda Calgaro, and Linette Voller (Lady Fingers).

'Sigil' is an exploration of musical spellcasting. Through a surreal projected landscape, we go with WCB deep into his psyche to reveal uncomfortable truths but ultimately cathartic emotions, providing a glimpse inside the world where his music exists.

An authentic representation into the struggles of being queer & an artist.

WELCOME TO THE DARK GODDESS'S OFFICE

'Welcome to the Dark Goddess's Office' is a one woman show where mythology meets sacred comedy through a heroine's journey to the underworld and back. Raw, feisty, and full of energy, this show is sure to have you leaving patriarchy in the bin on the way out.

Western Sydney Comedy will blow your mind. You will hear our stories, experiences and culture, leaving you laughing so hard your gut will hurt!

An Indian disappointment, a pimp with a cane, a Vietnamese geek and the queen of doughnuts will take you on a comedy rollercoaster. Featuring David Truong, Jamal Abdul, Frida Deguise & Riv Narak.

WHO'S THE MAN?

As a dancing queen, musical theatre boy growing up in an AFL family in a mining town in regional Queensland, Teale Howie knows a thing or two about putting on a show. "Who's the Man?" is a one-man vaudeville show that explores growing up in the closet, masculinity and performing in order to belong. Join Teale as he croons a Broadway jazz set, serenades a rag doll and dances... hip hop?

against one another in a hapless bid to find the truth. The unfortunate subjects of these tired theories will test each other's wit and patience through a playwriting contest in which only the audience will survive.

WICKED WOMEN OF COMEDY

Wicked & dangerous these are the funniest women in comedy all together in one show. After selling out shows all over Sydney, make sure you don't MISS the laughs!

A rare blend of physical theatre & opera, this new one woman show explores the space between AI creativity & the living artist. Performer/Composer Majella O'Shea & Ukranian director Ioulia Stepanova play with Cope's software Emily Howell, alongside European Composers including Bach & Gounod.

WILDFLOWER TRIO

A trio of musicians collaborate on this fabulous collection of classic country and blues tunes. We are having a hoedown after-hours in the library don't miss it !

William Boyd's 'is Nice' depicts the past experiences of a country born and raised loser, going from having the career aspirations of being a police officer, to alternative comedian.

The collected touchstones from William Boyd's past have made him the loveable wanker he is today, leaving audiences saying, he 'is Nice'.

XXX COMEDY SHOWCASE

The late night show for those who like their comedy uncensored and hilarious.

No topic is taboo, its a comedy show that will keep the laughs coming... hard.

A showcase of comedians from all over the fringe that rise up to the occasion and will perform the task that will make you LOL. It's a load of fun!

\"Every Body\" is an all female circus and cabaret show that aims to promote positive body image, breaking down female gender stereotypes and celebrating the wonder that is being a woman. We are all about female empowerment, women supporting women and stepping away from convention. We want the audience to come on a journey of authenticity, through the courageous, flirty, strong, sexy, weird and wonderful world of femininity.

YEAH THE BOYS!

On the seventh day God finished his work, so he rested... because weekends are for the boys! (Genesis 2:2) When you hear "yeah the boys!'' it means something bad is about to happen. But there will be nothing but good vibes!

Hosted by Tim Renkema with a diverse line-up, they will have you chanting "lads, lads, lads!" but in a good way.

The best (and only) pro-wrestling panel show that Sydney Fringe has possibly ever seen! We're pairing up comics and writers with actual professional wrestlers for a rollicking, bright, fun hour of games, trivia, arguments, and the occasional friendly chokeslam between mates. A high-energy, high-hilarity hour of pro-wrestling ridiculousness because it's still real to us, damn it!

YOU, ME & EVERYTHING INBETWEEN

A youthful explosion of ideas, merging live theatre, film and rock n roll, 'You, Me and Everything In-Between' is a performance of monologues of teenage identity, wanting and loss juxtaposed with a video installation.
