Coco the Time-Travelling Tart has traversed through time and arrived at the Adelaide Fringe to take audiences on a scandalous romp throughout history. Hailing from London with a collected online viewership exceeding 30 million, Coco’s larger-than-life personality immediately sets the tone for a show that is anything but ordinary. The performance relies heavily on audience participation, with Coco assigning roles to volunteers and using props to help build each ridiculous historical scenario. This interactive approach makes the show feel unpredictable, as every audience reacts differently, adding to the chaotic and energetic atmosphere.

As the performance unfolds, the increasingly obscene yet hilarious situations keep the crowd constantly engaged. From the moment she steps onto the stage, it becomes clear that this isn’t your typical history lesson. Instead, it’s a fast-paced tour through different eras where comedy and history collide in the most unexpected ways. The audience is encouraged to laugh, and become part of the action, which creates a shared sense of fun in the room.

The intimate venue suits Coco’s up-close and personal style perfectly. The small space makes the experience feel more immersive and lively, allowing the humour to land even more effectively. Whether you attend with friends or arrive on your own, the show quickly pulls everyone into the experience.

Fast, filthy, and fiercely funny, book now before history repeats itself!
