The clock is ticking on this year’s Adelaide Fringe. With the final days of The Garden of Unearthly Delights looming, we’ve pulled together a speed read of some of the top shows happening this weekend.
Cirque Alfonse: Animal
Got kids or known to act like a big kid? Then, this show from the team behind BARBU and Tabarnak is a must. Montreal’s hometown heroes have sent the normally tranquil barnyard skyward and into circus overdrive. Expect eccentric farm fables, life-sized ruminants, breathtaking acrobatics, lively music and big belly laughs.

Kaleidoscope
Fancy getting lost in an immersive artwork? Kaleidoscope has been reimagined in 2024 with new lighting design by David Musch (Mapped Design) and a new soundscape by ‘synth lord’ Luke Million (remember that track Arnold?). This family-friendly installation offers a mesmerising symphony of light and sound in a breathtaking mirror maze. Go during the day to experience it as a sparkling crystal palace or wait until dark to explore the colour field of ever-changing light.
Frankie McNair – An Intimate Evening With Tabatha Booth
Visiting The Garden after dark? This is for you. After a mystery hiatus and a lot of credit card debt, heavily medicated lounge singer Tabitha Booth returns to the stage for the comeback no one was expecting… or asked for. Starring Frankie McNair who’s appeared on Thank God You’re Here, Just For Laughs Sydney TV Gala and Question Everything.
Mythos: Ragnarök
Bored by burlesque? The genre of fight theatre could just be your jam! See professional wrestlers metaphorically and physically tackle the mythology of the Norse gods. It’s a masterful blend of storytelling, theatre and stage combat. Take your seat ringside for a promise of comedy, chaos and combat. You know you want to!
Nina Oyama Is Coming
Leave the kiddies at home for this one. Filthy and funny, this is the show you want to go to with your besties. Or your open-minded parents/children. Or your Hinge date. Don’t miss Nina Oyama – as seen on Deadloch, Taskmaster Australia and Utopia.
Amazing Drumming Monkeys – 20 Year Anniversary Show
Three years before Cadbury put a gorilla behind the drums to sell chocolate, the Amazing Drumming Monkeys were making their debut. Relive your younger years and front up for a fun and engaging show from these hugely popular, pioneering puppets. BYO toddler or little kid.
