In 2010, we bring you not only a gorgeous parkland full of circus big tops, spiegeltents and unique performance venues, but one of our biggest and best programs ever!
Still, size isn’t everything… as we know, even the tiniest spruiker can make a lot of noise!
Snap up all the great stuff that jumps off the page, of course - there are a lot of familiar faces after all. Savour these delights, but make sure you also take time to explore the rest! Take a punt, unearth something wonderful and discover your own hidden treasures.
It’s all here…
World-renowned hits making their Adelaide debuts, THE RAP GUIDE TO EVOLUTION (USA), the dangerously hilarious RED BASTARD (USA), the mindboggling sensation PHILIP ESCOFFEY (UK) and Megan Riordan’s LUCK (IRELAND/ USA), which arrives direct from a sold-out New York season.
Our favourite TV stars… ADAM HILLS, WIL ANDERSON & JOSH THOMAS.
The return of LADY CAROL - the star of last year’s festival hit, A Company of Strangers, with her own show, straight from the Sydney Opera House.
Guaranteed comedy gems… FRANK WOODLEY, FIONA O’LOUGHLIN, FELICITY WARD, SAMMY J & RANDY and THE BOY WITH TAPE ON HIS FACE (UK/NZ). Hilarious new kids on the block, with super-value for your comedy dollar, TALL STORIES, VIGILANTELOPE & SMART CASUAL.
Absolute festival fare including Zen Zen Zo’s ZEITGEIST, which has just played in Edinburgh for the first time to staggering reviews and packed houses, LE GARÇON NÉUROTIQUE and WHEN THE SEX IS GONE (Best Newcomer and Best Cabaret – Melbourne Fringe 2009).
Shows that kids will take their parents to…BUBBLEWRAP & BOXES, THE GRIMSTONES - HATCHED, TOPSY TURVY, PRINCE OF CRINGE and everyone’s favourite KIDS COMEDY GALA.
A super-strong circus program including the return, after months of international touring, of This Side Up’s CONTROLLED FALLING PROJECT, Jess Love’s Melbourne Fringe award-winning show AND THE LITTLE ONE SAID, Matt Wilson’s MEMOIRS OF A HUMAN CANNONBALL and Adelaide’s own Gravity and Other Myths with FREEFALL.
A jam-packed music program featuring C.W. STONEKING, AMANDA PALMER, RENEE GEYER, KATE CEBERANO, DAN SULTAN and JOE CAMILLERI.
And of course, in true Garden style, there are shows you can’t book in advance – so roll up and don’t miss 3D SHADDOW PUPPETS in The Bunker, The Space Cowboy’s MUTANT BARNYARD and international sensations direct from Peru, LOS GRUMILDOS.
Yes, the program is bursting with treasures and the carnival only comes to town once a year, so get Gardening!
PS – THE MAD MAX REMIX is hilarious!
