Hub’s 2025 Adelaide Fringe Guide
It’s finally that time of year again, the time where for one month Adelaide becomes a creative hub to rival anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere!
The Adelaide Fringe gathers over 8000 artists to display their hard work and creativity, featuring everything from comedy to cabaret, live music to workshops, and everything between and beyond.
In preparation for this year’s festivities running from the 21st of February to the 23rd of March, we thought we’d give you a guide/recommendation list with what we’re planning to see to give you some inspiration!
Theatre
Definitely NOT a Hungry Game: A Parody Musical
A new parody musical based on the series of a similar (but legally not the same) name with an 18 song original score. Two hours of absurdity, hilarity and drama, this show is the love-child of a Starkid fan, an HG lover and 2 twenty-somethings who are chronically online.
Lost in Translation
Your favourite movies translated badly.
Each night, we take a different classic film script, run it through an online translator a dozen times, and then read the results live on stage in character!
The final twist is that the guest stars read the scripts on stage for the first time.
The Revolting Children of Tomorrow
The Revolting Children of Tomorrow takes you on a journey from the dark streets of New York City to the bright lights of Broadway, featuring songs and characters from beloved musicals including CATS, GREASE and more!
Cabaret / Circus
SICK-STEEN
Starring in their debut solo cabaret show, Max Olman shares their unique perspective on their experience becoming disabled due to chronic illness during their teenage years, sharing the good, the bad and the ugly of living with a disability, with interesting anecdotes and original songs.
Cirque Kalabanté - Afrique en Cirque
This performance shares the beauty, youth, and artistry of African culture. A colourful show beyond its scenery, costumes, and staging, that will make any theatre vibrate with energy. It represents strength, agility, and life’s joys of young Africans.
