The Must-see Comedy Shows At Adelaide Fringe

There’ll be an overwhelming smorgasbord of talent in Adelaide over the next month for Fringe Festival.

To help with some of those scheduling anxieties, we’ve pieced together a handful of comedy acts you don’t want to miss during the epic event.

Mark the below names and dates in your calendar.

ALEX WILLIAMSON

SO WRONG, IT’S WRONG

Comedian, actor, online content creator and the “loosest Aussie bloke ever”, Alex Williamson will debut his new show, So Wrong, It’s Wrong, during Adelaide Fringe. Given how crude and politically incorrect his past shows have been, one with the word wrong twice in its title is bound to kick things up a notch.

ALICE FRASER

ETHOS

Following on from a run of acclaimed solo shows, Alice Fraser returns to Adelaide Fringe to premiere Ethos, a “silly, funny and smart show that explores artificial intelligence and what it means to be human.”

JOSH WADE

THE WOKE BLOKE

Being a renowned podcaster and content creator, local legend Josh Wade is a busy man, but he’s still had time to piece together new material for Adelaide Fringe. He brings a brand new show, The Woke Bloke, to the festival, which is part stand-up, part Q&A, part story-time. He’ll tackle 9/11, the church, military industrial complex, satanic cults and more across the hour with rapid-fire wit.

PAULY FENECH

THE BIBLE OF ALL THINGS BOGAn

Actor, writer, filmmaker and comedian, Pauly Fenech (Housos, Fat Pizza) has a lot to say and he's focusing his Adelaide Fringe efforts on a true Australia icon – the bogan. He’ll induct fans into the bogan world through stand-up comedy, multimedia and audience interaction.
