Adelaide Fringe Inc.

I LOVE the fringe. I went here with my friends and we had an absolute BLAST going on all the rides, and trying out the food.

Love this time of year in Adelaide. The fringe has something for everyone. Music, cabaret’s, comedy shows Circuit acts with heaps of places around the city to eat and drink

I'm really disappointed that Thepartytheshow@Adelaide fringe. It is advertised to be as good as Blanc du Blanc and it's not even half as surprising, creative and entertaining as it predecessor.
Not saying that the actors didn't do their best, just not worth the price, and false advertised.felt robbed. Payed $80 dls to see people do goofy stuff. I missed the acrobacy, the scenography, the glam, the coherence, the circus or anything of what was advertised really. I have been to many shows at the fringe and none have disappointed me as much. Also, I wanted to leave a review so that people would not be disappointed like me and they deleted my comment.

Always a pleasure working with the Adelaide Fringe team to deliver the biggest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Every year, they transform South Australia for 31 magical summer days and nights in the best way possible.

One of the, if not the world's best arts and music festivals. It runs for one month and has various acts for all ages. Artists are local, interstate, and international.
There are plenty of food and beverage vendors on site.
It is well worth a visit.

Hugh Sheridan “My Way 2022”
Totally disappointed $59 per ticket (no discounts) for 1 hour EXACTLY.
Unfortunately Hugh was totally unprofessional & oblivious to his audience.
His band saved him & really we paid to see Hugh not some other act who he bought along.
Not worth it!

Went there last Sunday night, the security entrance staff have some serious training issues.

Beside having attitude, some of them are far away of even being civilised! (One of them arrested the night before for assaulting a young teenager, heard from news later).

This is ridiculous, as a customer you have to receive a good customer service but here we are talking about facing some uncivilised people working as security staff

Never go there again, also feel very sorry for small business working there and struggling to survived after covid restrictions smash them and now these guys.

The Sheeple will rejoice at the Fringe next year in the safety of their Vaxx Passport. Good on them. I hope they have a great time wearing their, masks, social distancing and being herded and treated like sheep. God help the artists who simply want to earn a living in such a tyrannical atmosphere.

This was my first ever Fringe visit that happened to be on the last day. It was a family day trip with our 4 year old daughter. It happened to be a hot day with 29 degrees. We had booked Circus show and Magic show with 3 hours difference. The venue; Flamingo was at the end of Rymil Park. So after the show we had to walk all the way back to go to Garden of Earthly delights which had the rides right at the end of the park again. Thereafter we had a long walk back and went back to end of Rymil Park again to do the magic show. Why make it so difficult for kids when easier option could have been to just cross the Rundle road as it was only opposite to each other. The biggest let down was the bungee jumping for kids. My daughter had to wait for 15-20 mins for her turn to get the slot for precise 4 mins during which no one helped her jump or pulled her ropes like they were helping some kids. There was no time management, some kids were on for 8-10 mins as I had noted. The people were least interested in doing what they were doing while the kids were so excited. Overall it was a let down experience. The magic show and circus was average but kids seemed to enjoy at least.

This festival is a great place to celebrate. Local and international artists come together to showcase their best performances/shows. Some shows/acts require paid entry whilst some are free to enjoy. The festival is spread over many venues so no doubt you will be able to find one suitable for you. Looking to eat, there are plenty of food stalls to choose from including market like stands to wonder around.

Booked an event but when we were sent our E-Tickets they were for the wrong date. Completely unhelpful "customer service" who stated a cancellation needs to be before 48 hours as is policy.but they sent the E-Tickets only 24 hours before.now I'm no maths genius but that doesn't quite work out does it, there's a missing 24 hours somewhere!

"Customer service" also unwilling to move the date to the one we originally wanted which was available too.

Made up policies that don't work with the companies procedures, if they'd have sent the tickets 48 hours before the event we obviously would have resolved it.it's almost like it's designed that way right.

It's a shame as the event we booked 1) looked really good, 2) as we can't attend and given the short time until it start it's unlikely we'll be able to give these tickets away in time, so someone who could have attended won't be able to and 3) Fringe refused to sell our places away at the door, despite the high chance that they could have done, again their made up policies prevented them from doing so.

All-in-all unhelpful with a typical can't be arsed attitude, it's a shame that the public and the artists have to put up with this second-rate, lazy attitude towards hosting events, for the second largest of it's type in the World I expected a lot better.

We won't be wasting our money in the future.

2021 enjoyed the show I brought tickets for. Wasnt happy with the lecture given at the start of the show about the native people. I didnt pay to be brainwashed with opinions that i disagree with.

Umbilical brother's was not bad however only about halfway to the back and we couldn't hear 50% of what was being said. Plus no air conditioning and it was bloody hot in there

(Review mainly for 2021 Fringe)

Year after year, the Fringe provides our small city of Adelaide with a huge burst of creativity, passion, colour, happiness and love. Even with the overbearing shadow of Covid, the staff and organisers have managed to retain the magic and sensory bending vibes of this event in a way that can only be commended.

Whether you love comedy, magic, live drama, acrobatics or just want to get out of the house on a boring Wednesday arvo, this event provides something for all but the grumpiest of people. Kids are catered for in many areas as well, and there are shows rated G and PG13 too. Prices for shows remain cheap, starting as low as $10AUD and reaching up to $50AUD for international acts that usually charge double that amount outside of Fringe.

Feeling peckish? With two giant areas in the Garden of Unearthly Delights and also Gluttony, you'd be hard pressed to not find something to suit your taste buds. A huge number of local places have been included in 2021, showcasing the state's amazing ability to produce all manner of cuisines at a high quality and with a smile. Plenty of food for the little ones too with many of the outlets carrying a children's menu as well.

Booze is not to be forgotten either with plenty to be found within the two main areas. Even better has been the decision to bring more shows out into the local city areas, with a number of pubs and bars playing host to shows. This gives you the perfect excuse for some bar hopping up Rundle St as you soak in the entertainment around you. The only gripe I would have is, despite the state's incredible and diverse offerings for liquor, there's still a bit of a lack of local breweries/distilleries operating within the grounds.

If you haven't been to the Fringe in Adelaide yet, you're really dropping the ball champion. Get in ya motorised transport of choice and get amongst it!

The 2021 fringe is poor at best the lines are terrible and i will not be coming back in covid nothing but a disapointment: (

Since being introduced to the Fringe by my girlfriend 6 years ago I look forward to it every year. You don't know what you are going to get at some shows and that's the attraction.

Omg what can I say about the Adelaide Fringe 2021, the best so far! The acts, the displays, the shows, the music, the food and drinks stalls - fabulous darlings!

Love the fringe go every year meet new people have great food and drinks. See some awesome shows. A safe place for the whole family

Had the time of my life here, just before the pandemic, COVID 19 struck. The Adelaide fringe would always be special to me as it’s the best time of the year.
It’s also a great time to meet people of similar interests from across the globe.

Bestest time every year! Thank you Fringe once again. Well done! The vibrancy in the city's east is beyond belief. Sadly we have to wait another year to have it all back!
