Overflowing with live music, glittering glam rock, phenomenal acrobatics, breathtaking aerials and spectacular heart stopping sideshow, Rebel brings to life an incredible body of work that spanned over 50 years, and an aesthetic that broke ground and inspired generations.
Hans: Like A German | TICKETS
Fresh from conquering stages and screens around the globe, international superstar Hans is back in his adopted hometown with an accordion-pumping, foot-stomping, glittering blitzkrieg of cabaret backed by a huge seven piece band!

Bernie Dieter’s Little Death Club | TICKETS
The smash hit show of Edinburgh Fringe comes to the spiegeltent. The darkest, funniest and most debauched kabarett club this side of Berlin! A Weimar-punk jazz band soundtracks a hazy night of dangerously funny kabarett, breathtaking circus and fire-breathing sideshow at its most inappropriate, provocative and hilarious best.
Thrones! The Musical Parody | TICKETS
Total Edinburgh Fringe sell-out 2015/16/17/18 and worldwide smash returns to Adelaide for a second triumphant year, bigger and bloodier than ever! Updated with new deaths & sexcapades from the seventh series. From the twisted minds of Baby Wants Candy, comes this immensely popular comedy musical.
Shake It | TICKETS
After a sold out 2018, Shake It returns featuring foul mouthed songstress Minnie Andrews (from ‘Papillon’). Minnie hosts one of the most outrageous events at Fringe, with special guest acts from across the festival of burlesque, circus and cabaret. This will not be polite, this will not be gentle — get ready to SHAKE IT UP!
360 All Stars | TICKETS
A phenomenal physical performance exploring all forms of rotation, 360 ALLSTARS connects street with elite in a supercharged production. Boasting a stellar cast, including the 2x world champion BMX Flatlander, world champion breakdancers, a cyr wheel world record holder, and a world class basketball freestyler, 360 ALLSTARS is a revolutionary performance that will leave you dizzy with excitement!
Finale | TICKETS
This thrilling, collective circus experience sees eight friends, all top-class artists and musicians, come together to let their crazy ideas run loose. Inspired by the sound of the underground, film stunts, and traditional circus tricks, ‘FINALE’ pays the city of Berlin, its brazen tribute — a breathless, wild, and exuberant display.
Fortified (starring Amity Dry) | TICKETS
This is a war story. But there are no guns and ammo, just angry words and hurt pride. It’s a story about blowing up your life and starting again. About divorce, love, loss and discovering a strength you never knew you had. This is Amity at her most raw and heartfelt and if you loved her smash hit ’39 Forever’ it’s not to be missed.
Kathy Lett’s Big Night Out | TICKETS
Grab your girlfriends for this psychological striptease from the hilarious author of ‘Puberty Blues’. Kathy bares all in these tales of love, lust, men, marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, mastitis, sexist bosses, teenage-daughter-wrangling, ageing, toy boys, making the Queen laugh, hiding Julian Assange in her attic, tongue kissing Prince William and Close Encounters of the George Clooney kind!
So, what are you waiting for? Sink your teeth into all that’s on offer at Gluttony this Fringe season!
