  • A MOMENT OF (redacted)

    SydneyTheatre | September 17 - 19, 2026

    Following an award winning season at Adelaide Fringe Festival, Ella Molloy presents 'A MOMENT OF (redacted)', a provocative contemporary dance work which intersects time, space, bodies and technology.
    To love is to be weak, and to showcase our weakness reveals our capacity to share our love.

    This new contemporary dance work sees two individuals meet within time and space, representing the universality of our human experiences by warping time across the performance to create an enduring message of our desires to connect and seek out each other. .

    This work invites audiences to reflect upon the relentless propulsion of our lives, forcing us to consider the enduring tragic journey of our capacity to experience love and weakness across time. Serving as a universal representation of these two deeply human qualities, this work seeks to offer more questions on the duality that exists within each and every one of us, reflecting the universal struggle to hold pace and continue through this juxtaposition.

    Through the combination of technology and human bodies, ‘A MOMENT OF (redacted)’ is an award winning work that reflects upon our very human existence, warping time and space to meet us at these moments which define us.


    Performing for 4 shows only, catch this limited season at 21 Shepherd Marrickville from the 17th of September to the 19th of September. Tickets available through the Sydney Fringe website.


    Performed by Ella Molloy and Georgia Rubie

As their numbers dwindle, the townsfolk and audience must deduce which of their seemingly innocent neighbours is capable of such an insidious act. Can the citizens prevail in uncovering the dark mystery and successfully push out the insidious killers from their town? Or will their own petty squabbles lead them right into the hands of the murderous forces dwelling amongst them? Find out in: The Streets are Paved With Murder!

  • GIRLS GONE WILD
    GIRLS GONE WILD

    ErskinevilleTheatre | September 23 - 26, 2026

    Imagine a wellness retreat for women—except this one is different. Welcome to the “Just Let It Go Anger Management Retreat for Angry Women” nestled in the peaceful hinterland outside your town.

  • Fever Dream @ Sydney Fringe

    SydneyMusic | September 26, 2026

    There are rumours about a music venue somewhere between memory and myth. This September, the door opens. Fever Dream pulls you in and doesn't let go.

    They say there's a music venue in Sydney that doesn't quite exist on any map. A venue that feels like every legendary band room the city ever loved. Sticky floors, stage lights beaming through the darkness, bass that rattles your ribs. You've heard whispers about it. Maybe you've walked past it a hundred times without knowing. You step inside.

    A world unfolds around you. Think gig and urban legend brought to life in a single venue. Live music anchors the night, with a house band and special guests Toque.

    A cast of the usual suspects move through the venue, pulling you into the world with infectious energy. Nothing is forced. Everything is offered. You choose how deep you go. Follow a character. Join a toast. Sneak backstage. Or lean against the wall and let the sound wash over you.

    This city has always had a heartbeat. You can hear it if you stop long enough. Bass leaking from doorways on King Street, a drum kit being loaded through a side entrance on City Road, posters layered so thick on the poles they've become part of the architecture. Raucous, warm and gritty, Fever Dream turns that energy up loud.

    The secret of Fever Dream isn't what's behind the door. It's what you carry with you when you leave. Come closer. Step in. Tell everyone.

  • Fairytale: Ending

    SydneyTheatre | September 26 - 27, 2026

    After critically acclaimed runs at Perth Fringe World and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, comedian Roisin McAlinden brings her debut solo show to Sydney for two nights only.

    If you’ve come here looking for happily ever after, you’ve come to the wrong place. Fairytales turned Roisin into a damsel in distress. This is her revenge.

    'Like catching up with a brutally honest, very funny friend' ★★★★★ - On The House

    A rallying cry to women to tell their own stories, reclaim their narrative, and be the "crazy ex" they wish to see in the world.Using sharp, feminist and excruciatingly dark humour, Roisin McAlinden processes the end of a coercive relationship by tearing apart the fairytales that convince women to shrink themselves in pursuit of love. But what if fairytales could serve a different purpose?

    'A magical storyteller' ★★★★ - Fringefeed

    'A talented writer' - Australian Stage

    Directed by award-winning clown and scriptwriter Penny Greenhalgh.

  • Changeling

    North MelbourneTheatre | October 7 - 18, 2026

    What does it mean to be a rainbow in a world of grey?

    All a parent wishes for is a happy, healthy, normal child. A perfect bundle of joy to light up the family and carry on their legacy in the picture-perfect Town where everyone has their place.

    So what happens when you suspect your child is not yours? Or worse, that your child is not a child at all?

    When a Child begins to display strange, uncontrollable magical powers, fear, disgust and hatred brew in the Town. All the Child wants is a home, but all they’re getting are rumours and monster stories that are driving their family and world apart.

    Presented through the lens of modernised folklore, 'Changeling' is a provocative confrontation on how we tell tales about disability and difference. This dark modern allegory reflects on how narrative spinning is weaponised to incite collective paranoia and tear a community apart. What is the cost of reclaiming your own narrative against a community consumed by fear and hatred?

  • Sam King: Tricks & Stuff
