Fringe Festival-guide anthems Style

THIS thread is advice /reviews on discoveries you have had at the fringe
it is for both free and paying shows
if there is a show that you think cant be missed or you stumble across a fantastic free art display-- share the love

it is easy to miss things , especially some of the displays that may be up an alley somewhere

LETS GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS FRINGE

ps keep the chit chat to a minimum

Foonji and I are both on media so i'm sure we can contribute with some more behind-the-scene stuff 2!

and a friend of mine works for the Fringe Committee and emails me free exhibit info all the time....will let you know of them when I hear of them

gotta suggest talvin singh for those who like something different : he is only doing one show during festival, and it's not a cheap one, but his music is a blend of electronica and indian drumming ...

i would go but can't blow the cash - so will be watching for all the free gigs - but if you know his style and like it then this should be on your list ...

ps: if you go - let me know what it was like

A mate at work knows one of the comedians that will be performing on the 17th March, apparently he's damn funny

*I'll get his name tommorrow

lano and woodley... thats all i can say... its their last act too as lano and woodley :/

cant wait i was litereally on the floor last year!

wat da K said

FRINGE BENEFIT
Altho it is $60

Get to see a heap of comedians , some u dont know and some u do and some u wish u new earlyer.

And the money goes to the homeless of adelaide so its a good local cause.

I went to this a few years ago and it was excellent.....good call Spirit77

I am a FRinge festival virgin! sad but true! so i have no idea wat i shuld and shuld not spend my time and money to go to.. i know this thread will help me heaps if ppl add ther advice, give a little info on why or whynot tho.

i picked up a fringe fest guide from coles the other day and flicked thru it but really i hav no idea wat im looking for!

all i kno is it starts this friday, u culd go to it before Arkaba or Raverbaby! the parade thingo starts at 8:30 in the city.. sorry cant remember wat streets.. hmm dont be lazy and go pick up a guide therz a map in ther..

all reviews will be eagerly read !

its gonna be good, fringe always is

and the Fringe guide always tells you what shows/exhibits are free too....and there is always lots fo free stuff to do to get involved.....bring it on....

Garden of Unearthly Delights, here I come

we decided to splurge a bit this year on festival acts, so we're seeing Flight [opera], Devolution [dance with the robot things], Nemesis [also robot dance stuff from UK].. maybe also the breakdance thing from france..

there's a play i'd like to see in the fringe: Lost Babylon, which sounds interesting

i've heard good things about circuit breaker [with the guy from the byrd], lots of drumming percussive stuff..

remember, if you're under 27 there are shows where you can buy $20 tickets, so get in there before they sell out!

there;s also some nice stuff on at The Persian Garden:
http://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/program/PGProgram.aspx

The Persian garden is the Festival's late night venue, besides adelaide boys japey, kim dezen, rory, and troy j bean, there's a mix of interstate and international DJs/music, including Hexstatic [UK ninja tunes], simon caldwell [syd], kano [melb], even vince jones [jazz styles].. hexstatic is a lot of fun, cut up breaks with matching visuals..

i won double passes to 4 comedy shows... Akmal, Umbilical Brothers, Scared Weird Little Guys, and Tom Gleeson... I'll let u know what theyre like.

I wanna go see Dave Hughes... anyone else interested in going? i don't want to sit by myself!!

Also would like to see Wil Anderson....

i am seeing Wil anderson on Tuesday... already got tickets though! i really want to see Jimoien! - i WILL see him!
a am going to see Lano and Woodly to - seen them twice before and they are sooo funny!

I'm going to this on Sunday - yay!! i figure $60 for 3 hours & 16 comedians is a pretty damn good deal, and yep - contributing to a damn good cause. I feel all warm & fuzzy now.....

Went & saw La Clique at the Spiegeltent on Wednesday night - completely by accident! Was sitting out the front having a drink with some pals when we got invited in to see the show for free cos they didn't want empty seats!! So I'm now telling everyone to go & see it cos it's AMAZING!!!!! It's described as a burlesque circus on acid - there's everything you could want in a Fringe show - a naked magician, a contortionist, an operetta singer, a sword-swallower & some truly unbelieveable acrobats (and some f*ing hot bodies, particularly for the ladies ) I'd definitely pay to see it again!!

Evn Watching the free acts/buskers on the Corner is great...
Some of them are ok, others bloody hilarious!!!
x x x

looking forward to this one!!

A 12 hour, 200 artist, 60 act, 4 stage showcase of Adelaide’s biggest names and brightest stars in original music, electronica, performance arts and visual arts; it is one of Adelaide’s largest cross artform events and it only happens once every two years.....

The Line Up will be Finalised by January 2006. Please call Vivienne for details [phone removed]/ [phone removed]

Background:

acquiescence:Not Dreaming, Creating premiered as part of the 2002 Adelaide Fringe Festival.

It is one of Adelaide’s largest events and definitely one of the largest events of the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

It’s artistic directives are to provide a space for Adelaide Artists to perform as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, to showcase as broad a range of art forms as exists in Adelaide and to provide an awesome space for artists to perform in and for audiences to experience art in.

It provides an opportunity for talented artists to play in a massive event and for audiences and artists to experience genres and artforms that they would not normally go and see.
For an artist it represents an excellent opportunity for artistic development and career development as well as the experience of being a part of something massive.

It is a unique asset for the Adelaide Arts Community and for South Australia as a whole.

About Us

acquiescence:Not Dreaming Creating Inc. is a not for profit association. It is run by a group of young artists who are passionate about original art and enriching the South Australian Arts scene.

How does it work?

acquiescence 2006 will be held on Saturday March 4 as part of Adelaide Fringe 2006. It is an all ages event that runs for 12 hours and consists of 2 band stages, a performance arts stage, an electronica stage and a gallery. We include 20 bands, 20 electronica acts, 20 performance arts acts and as many visual artists as we can fit in the gallery.

Phwoar! I've just scored tickets to see Judith Lucy and Wil Anderson on thursday night. Stoked!!

Will let you guys know what I thought on Friday

Judith Lucy!?!?!? she is NOT funny... and she's even from my home town... BUT NOT FUNNY!!! sorry to all those that like her.

I'd go see carl baron, or Lano and woodley, or umbilical bro's or Scared wierd little guys...

I've also heard this mind reader dude is pretty cool...

There is a Jazz group called Marmalade circus on at club 199 in March... DEFINATELY check them out!

OMG are you going to be there... WHAT night??? im going on the 15th of March...
JUST then i got given my ticket... IM GONNA BE SO SAD WHEN ITS OVER!
but so HAPPY that i got to see their last show!

He is the MESSIAH... the LORD of the BELLYWHACKERS!

so anybody been to or found anything new?

i went and saw 'Lehmo: Christmas in Baghdad' last night.

was excellent, he tells of his recent trip to Baghdad over xmas to go and entertain the troops, and its an big eye opener for those who don't know much about wat our troops get upto on operation

you don't hear this in the press, but our troops found a jet boat and skis at one of saddams lakes... they decided to go skiing, and wat they didn't know, was that the yanks had laid some communication wires across the lake and they were only a foot below the serface. so low and behold, the aussie troops disrupted the co-olition communication for a week go aussies!

this show is running every tues->sat, 7:15pm until March 18 at the Rhino Room, 13 Frome St.

i recommend goin, its a good laugh, hear a few good stories and find out what exactly goes on with the aussie troops

Hey guys, couldn't find a random crap spot in the forum so I figure this is the closest to it.

Last night I went and saw "Lawrence Leung & Andrew McClelland's Somewhat Secret Secret Society Show" at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in the Garden of Unearthly Delights and had an absolute BLAST!

Andrew is the mastermind behind "The Somewhat Accurate History of Piratology 1770 - 2017" which I saw in 2004 at the Fringe. Lawrence features on 'In Siberia Tonight' (SBS - TV).

Their show costs $22 for an adult and less for concession. If you have a slight interest in Secret Societies or laughing, go on and check them out.

If you have no-one to go with, I will go again to watch this show with you, PM me for more information.

Last but certainly not least, it only take a minute or so, can you all please click on this link and join our secret society, please please please.

Wacko's of Miniature Size...

Oh, and the anthems relevance is that last year these boys did a radio show in Melbourne 6-8am on a Sunday morning that they say was 'dedicated to insomniacs, bakers, service station workers, ravers and devoted church-goers.'



G.

oh man i just went to see the one-man star wars show.

all i can say is excellent. soooooo funny.

no props nothing just him doing all the voices,acting,sound effects,action everything!!brilliant.

i dont know how many times he had the crowd in hysterics.

that would've been a good one to see, was considering it

We just saw Chopper's Harden the F*ck up Australia Tour... I've havn't laughed so hard for ages!

hee hee......yep, so good.....that life coaching lesson was worth every cent!!!
