The first shows in the 2019 Fringe World have been revealed and festival friends will be able to get their hands on ‘teaser tix’ from today.
Festival Director Amber Hasler said that becoming a Fringe World Friend and taking advantage of TeaserTix is the best way to experience the Festival.
“TeaserTix is the first taste of what Fringe World 2019 has on offer. There is an exciting array of new shows and Fringe favourites as part of this early release and we cannot wait to see how people respond to the shows.” Hasler said.
Tickets for 67 shows from the bumper 2019 Festival program are available for Friends to purchase from Thursday 18 October at fringeworld.com.au with the full program and tickets available for general public on 15 November.
Becoming a Fringe World Friend costs $30.00 which gives you access to the ‘teaser tix’ and other offers through the festival.
Among the shows in the first release announcement is the high octane spectacle Feugo Carnal which was a sell-out success at this year’s Adelaide Fringe. It’s filled with wild stunts, exotic beats and mesmerising flames.
Wet Sounds will require audiences to don a swimsuit and googles for a show set inthe dive pool at HBF Stadium, while Le Aerial is a high flying production.
The show that won the 2018 Martin Sims Award is returning, What Doesn’t Kill You [Blah Blah] Stronger is a wickedly funny cabaret production featuring extraordinary tales of survival from all over the world.
There will also be a return of popular hypnotist Matt Hale, and Lucky Oceans will be teaming up with Jessie Gordon for a show that takes it name from a brilliant Tom Waits song – The Piano Has Been Drinking. THe best kids show from the 2018 season will also be making a return – younger audiences have loved Children Are Stinky.
Fringe World Festival is the largest annual event in Western Australia and the third largest Fringe in the world. The 2018 Festival achieved total ticketed and free attendance of more than 900,000 and office sales of more than $10million. Fringe World 2019 runs from 18 January to 17 February.
