Typo @ Sydney Fringe and Fringe Kids

Moore ParkTheatre | September 11 - October 11, 2026

From their stand-out success at the Canberra Circus Festival, Clockworkwork Circus is bringing "Typo" to Sydney Fringe!

A contemporary circus show for all ages, Typo is an homage to the joys of being creative, determined, and the satisfaction of seeing a project and a dream through to the end.

The mind of the writer is projected to the stage, embodied by acrobats as they develop as characters within the writer's world, giving the audience a unique and fun insight into the highs and lows of creating. Follow the writer on a journey of imagination, creativity, and dreams, experience the challenges of writing as they do, battling writer's block, procrastination, plot holes, and far too much coffee, and emerge on the other side with a wholesome story and a sense of pride.

This show features a wide array of circus skills, everything from acrobatics, juggling, balance, object manipulation, trapeze, and even magic! It's suited to a family audience, with nuance and metaphor for older viewers, impressive skills and comedy for younger viewers, and a quirky fairytale that everyone can relate to.

Chameleon Cabaret @ Sydney Fringe

Chameleon is a hilarious and heartfelt one-woman cabaret that dives headfirst into the ups and downs of modern life — from dating disasters and fitness fads to the unforgettable tension of a high school reunion.

The Streets Are Paved With Murder

SydneyTheatre | September 19 - 20, 2026

In a once-idyllic small town, people are starting to drop like flies – and not everyone is who they say they are.

The Streets are Paved With Murder is a character-based improvised murder mystery that uses the structure of the classic social deduction game Mafia to tell a twisting tale of intrigue and deception.

With each passing day, a new member of town is murdered by an unseen evil. 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

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.

This retreat promises tranquillity, but under the surface, chaos brews. A group of young women embark on a holistic journey designed to smother their anger and mould them into “palatable” versions of themselves. As the pressure builds, so does the tension.

GIRLS GONE WILD fuses dance, theatre, comedy, and sharp social commentary to challenge what it means to live your “authentic best life”, with unskippable ads, laugh-out-loud moments, deep reflections, and an embrace of the wild within.

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.

Sam King: Tricks & Stuff

RichmondTheatre | October 8 - 11, 2026

Magic shows have top hats, doves and a deck of cards. Sam King's has a kitchen blender.

Tricks & Stuff is an hour of comedy magic built entirely out of everyday objects: blenders, socks, Snickers bars, and stories that are mostly true. Sam is a two time Adelaide Fringe Best Magic winner who has performed in sixteen countries, from the Edinburgh Fringe to the Melbourne Magic Festival, where critics praised his quick wit and comedy talent.

"His ability to work with the audience to build ambience, suspense and fun was second to none." Kiddo Mag, five stars, Adelaide Fringe

The show comes to the heritage Regent Theatre in Richmond as part of the first ever Sydney Festival of Magic & Illusion. The 4:30pm start is built for families, so you are out by 5:30pm and home for dinner. Rated PG and recommended for ages 10 and up.

Four shows only, 8 to 11 October, right across the spring school holidays. Tickets $40.
