Fringeworld2020: Our Week 1 Picks to Check Out
Fringeworld 2020
Fringeworld is back on and no one is more excited than the gang in-store.
We’ve scoured the lineup for week 1 and brought you 5 shows you should definitely add to the weekly to-do list.
1 Pint 2 Many
Starts 24th Jan. Circus, Comedy, Stunts and Copious Amounts of Alcohol? This is a Raw, Rock a Roll Cabaret where every performer has been drinking! Each act sits at the back of the stage and isn't allowed to perform until they have finished their drink and stumble onto the stage.
Hosted by Irish Alcohol enthusiast Logy Logan, these are the acts from all over the globe not allowed in the other shows! We are here to help and enable them to shine (and help them not to fall over or throw up)!
2. Adult's Scavenger Hunt by PEDDLE
Available from 25th Jan. This is an interactive show to remember. Meet outside The Woodside Please Garden in your teams. Get out of your comfort zone and complete challenges as you race between FRINGE WORLD venues.
Be curious, do your research, and solve clues and then tell your driver where to go to get the points to win this amazing race. There'll be specific meetup times to complete unexpected and suggestive challenges for absolute hilarity with points awarded for the winning groups.
Get points for completing challenges, taking hilarious photos or complete bonus challenges (if you can handle them). We'll all meet after an hour to go over the points, swap stories and announce the winner of the FRINGE WORLD Scavenger Hunt!
3. Alan Anderson: Whisky For Dafties
Starts 21st Jan.
Globetrotting, five-star, sell-out whisky tasting show with a difference.
★★★★½ Australia Times.
"A definite must for whisky lovers and a good night out for anyone who's not afraid of a tipple" ★★★★ The Advertiser.
"One of the most popular acts at the Festival" Galway Independent. "Creative, fun, lighthearted way to learn about whisky" The Scotsman.
4. Alcohol is good for you
Starts 22nd Jan. Join Sam for a drink and another hour of non-stop inebriated laughter. So confident in his comedic abilities Sam will take a shot every time the audience does NOT laugh at his jokes. Nominated for Best Comedy at FRINGE WORLD 2016 and sold out all 23 Edinburgh shows in 2016-18. Sam (Australia) has been crushing stand-up globally and this brand new show is his best yet.
"One of the best comedy acts I've ever seen" Scoop, 2016.
"Australian comedic virtuoso" ★★★★½ The Australian Times.
"Downright funny" ★★★★ The Music.
★★★★ Bunbury Magazine, 2018.
5. Gaming Under the Influence
Starts 22nd Jan. Rival comedians compete for your affection with jokes, do far too many shots, and then battle head to head with different live challenges and video games nightly. Unpredictable hilarity with audience interaction throughout, different games every night, and intoxicated comedians make for a new and unique show every night.
No skill required to enjoy this nightly dose of live arcade-style chaos. Bring a drink or five, dust off your gaming knowledge and come enjoy a night of competitive insanity between comedians and, occasionally, audience members. Be one of the lucky audience members to score a token and you'll help control the action by making the games more difficult, offering help through a "cheat code", or even forcing them to drink more!
