Located in the heart of Adelaide at Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, an artist-run hub at the Adelaide Fringe, Fool’s Paradise, will be buzzing with fun and excitement, offering a one-of-a-kind mix of circus, cabaret, comedy, music, and magic.

This vibrant precinct will be the only artist-run hub at the Fringe, where creativity thrives and everyone can join in the fun!

Fool’s Paradise will feature two fantastic venues, each packed with world-class performances. You can look forward to amazing shows like the award-winning All-Stars Circus and Elixir Revived by Head First Acrobats, known for their jaw-dropping feats and hilarious slapstick comedy.

Callan Harris, Precinct Co-Director & Performer/Director, said, “Fool’s Paradise is all about creativity and community. We can’t wait to bring artists and audiences together in a space where everyone can have fun and enjoy the magic of the Fringe.”

Along with the incredible line-up of more than 50 shows, Fool’s Paradise will also have delicious food and drinks from local South Australian producers. Plus, you can enjoy FREE mini golf, a giant trapeze, and a free music program featuring multicultural-friendly tunes. It’s the perfect family-friendly spot during the day and a cheeky, fun place at night—without breaking the bank!

Ticket prices vary depending on the show, with plenty of affordable options starting from just $15, and great offers on Wallet-Friendly Wednesdays to make sure everyone can enjoy the fun. You can book tickets through the Adelaide Fringe website.
