100% Scottish Comedy

A hilarious showcase of top-class Scottish stand-up comedy, with a nightly changing line-up.

As robust as a good malt whisky, quirky as a bowl of haggis and sharp as a thistle - this show features three-time Scottish Comedy award winner Vladimir McTavish, one of the most successful and popular of modern-day Scottish comedians, who's been seen on The BBC & Channel 4: "One of the finest acts on the Scottish comedy circuit" (The Guardian).

There's also a changing nightly line-up of Scottish comedy guests, including Kevin Kopfstein, Gill Cordiner, Grant Mushet, Iain Pringle and more - plus occasional international guests from the Edinburgh Fringe.

It's world-class comedy made in Scotland! A total sell-out show for the last three years at the Edinburgh Fringe and at Perth Fringe World 2024.

Adelaide's Great Big Comedy Picnic

A smorgasbord of stand-up comedy amusement for a weekend afternoon

It's the funniest late lunch (or early dinner) party date at the Fringe, with a different line-up each weekend featuring some of the freshest and funniest comedy headliners, plus some very special guests from around the world who'll be serving up everything from your ever-reliable sausage roll (in the aisles) to your more sophisticated comedy quiche.

In the shaded outdoor area of Gluttony’s Piglet, grab a seat or bring your picnic blanket to enjoy this delightful afternoon where you can be sure the comics will be raisin’ the roof (of the tent) and leaving you wonton more.

An Edinburgh Fringe institution. From many years ago. With entirely different comedians.

Amazing, Silly, Big Stupid Comedy Game show for Kids and their Grown Ups 2

The sequel to last year's hit show for all the family. For small humans or big persons!

The ultimate fun and stupid game show is back! YOU can help by taking part in a variety of games, comedy challenges, and general silliness to help your team captains win the day, and avoid the horrible, nasty (but budgetary limited) forfeit for not being the best.

Your team captains are international touring comedians, who've traveled all the way from New York and Albama for this: Katharyn Henson and LJ DA FUNK, so you'd better make it worth the flights and help them win.

Hosted by comic, comedian, Kids performer and Adelaide Fringe regular Nik Coppin, who really should know better... and will be trying to remember the amazing, silly, big stupid comedy challenges and games that are all new for 2025.

2pm - At The Piglet, Gluttony, Rymill Park, CBD - Weekend Afternoons, Mar 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 22, 23

Club Doggo - The Best in Stand-up

Do you like Comedy? Do you like Dogs? Well, we have the comedy club for you.

Everyone is welcome at Club Doggo, where we’re proudly the Adelaide Fringe’s only dog-friendly show, where dog owners can bring their furry friends along to watch four great comedians tickle their funny bone.

And of course everyone else is welcome too, to all enjoy the big laughs from four different comedy headliners selected for each show, who'll be raising the woof, and end with a massive round-of-a-paws at this hilarious weekend comedy Fringe Treat.

Humans, whether dog owner or not will all get a cracking line-up of top quality Fringe comedy in a cool outdoor venue, that's just the place for some massive laughs (and woofs) in the early evening.

And Cat’s are welcome too (as long as they are disguised as dogs)

Dogs must be kept on leads during show and are owners’ responsibility. Plenty of shade; Dog Water & Poo bags available. Poo bags only for the dogs, thanks. We won’t make that mistake again. Tell us if your dog's allowed treats, we also have those.

5pm - At The Piglet, Gluttony, Rymill Park, CBD - Sat & Sun afternoons Feb 22, 23; Mar 1, 2
