Adelaide will soon be absolutely overflowing with talent with the biggest Adelaide Fringe lineup yet – and this year with over 1000 acts, it’s hard to know who are the MUST SEE Acts of the Adelaide Fringe. I’ve tried to make it easier for you with just ONE MONTH to go, with the below list of my MUST SEE/BEST ACTS of the Adelaide Fringe in 2020!

Below are just a few of my TOP Acts to see at the Adelaide Fringe in 2020! (There are many more – but only so much time!)

Aborigi-LOL: The Return

If you like: Laughing

Recommendation: Two of my favourite comedians Dane Simpson and Matt Ford in an absolutely hilarious show full of laughs and a heap of story telling. Smashed it at last years Fringe, and is set to be even bigger in 2020!

THE CHOIR OF MAN

If you like: Beer and Feeling Good

Recommendation: I was so fortunate to be able to share a venue with these rowdy, fun and incredibly talented UK lads in 2018 – it’s a show which will have you dancing and drinking away. The stage is an actual working pub, and if you’re lucky enough you will become part of the act itself and even get a beer on the house. You are guaranteed to leave this show with the biggest grin from ear to ear – the perfect show for a weekend out.

IDRIS STANTON – WHAM GLAM CIRCUS MAN

If you like: Magic, Music, Comedy and Circus!

Recommendation: Idris has been a great friend of mine throughout my Fringe journey (you may remember him from Papillon) and his new Solo Show is getting rave reviews all across the country. Awards, sold out crowds, and smiling faces are almost a guarantee. The perfect show for an enjoyable afternoon at the Fringe!

Railed

If you like: Good looking boys, doing good looking things.

Recommendation: The Elixir boys are back, with an entirely new show. Cowboys, shoot-outs, and sexiness; it’s not a show for the kids; but it’s a show you need to see.
