Our universal love of food has inspired not only chefs and restaurateurs around the world, but also an array of hungry Fringe performers!

This year they explore food of the future and potential new flavours and embrace the role of food in creating community and enhancing storytelling. They cleverly combine mesmerising and laugh-out-loud performances with a meal, create chaos in the scene of a restaurant (for the kids of course), or simply have a whole lot of fun with a mimosa-filled brunch.

Our stomachs are already growling!

The Juicy Orange are back! But this time... you decide the ending.

It's a typical Wednesday at Dice-Cream-Ice-Creamery, when suddenly it's revealed the golden scoop has been stolen. Uh oh.

In this exciting new 'whodunit', everyone's guilty. Join the 'Junior Detective Collective' and work together to unravel the mystery of who stole the golden scoop. Was it Sir Sardine Clampepper? Was it Professor Pistachio? Or was it even... you?

'Junior Detective Collective: The Mystery of the Golden Scoop' has a "choose your own adventure" style structure, where the children join the 'Junior Detective Collective' and play a pivotal role in unravelling the mystery. The audience not only personally discover and reveal hidden evidence, but ultimately, they solve the mystery.

The international smash hit returns for its 14th year running.

This is the show that helps you step inside the TV series and see it from the inside out. Highly improvised, highly interactive and fully immersive, it tempts audiences to join the action, becoming guests who play along with Basil, Sybil and Manuel. With two hours of comedy, three courses of food and five-star reviews, expect chaos, laughs, and a brilliant night out.

At Adelaide Oval sessions all guests must enter via the north gate.
