Calling all of Adelaide’s self-proclaimed freaks: looking for a place to let loose and experience a party full of vibrant performances? FREAK OUT: THE AFTERPARTY is back and it’s taking the long weekend party to a whole new level.

The moment you step into the theatre, you’re pulled away from the mundanity of the outside world and thrown into a realm of the wacky and wonderful. From drag, cabaret and burlesque via mind-blowing circus, every eccentric act lures you in further, leaving the audience buzzing for hours after the show ends. With 90s house and club music’s top hits woven throughout the show, audience participation is both expected and encouraged in this all-standing space. We’re collectively invited to lose ourselves as we dance the night away, sensually swept up by the music, lights and incredible talent.

FREAK OUT is for those looking for a wild night bursting with character and the electrifying spirit of Queer nightlife that fills the theatre with joy and movement. This show is an unforgettable sensual explosion, and it perfectly encapsulates exactly what makes the Fringe such an iconic arts celebration.
