Ali Clarke’s Top 10 Shows

Fri, Feb 10 2023
This week we sat down with radio legend, one of our favourite breakfast show hosts and a long-time supporter of the arts, Ali Clarke of Mix 102.3.
As a self confessed Adelaide Fringe junkie, Ali has seen her fair share of performances. Between her busy work life and family life, her commitment to Fringe-fying her February and March calendar has never wavered. So it was only natural to ask Ali what her top picks are this year at Adelaide Fringe. 

And frankly, why flick through 160 pages when you can go straight to someone who’s done their homework? We know Ali has done her homework. 

Can confirm, plenty of 70s nostalgia, electrifying drone performances and comedy contained within the list.
