This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

A woman with blonde hair and a pink silky nighty holder her glasses and a pair of underwear on a soft white fluffy rug with blue curtains draped behind her, her arm behind her head, with a seductive look to the viewer.
Sharnema Nougar sits on her stomach on a plush couch, with her arms behind her holding her legs up with a mouth closed and lazy sexy expression.
A female performer wearing two wigs: one red, one pink. She has glittery eyeshadow and wears a black lace dress with white faux fur draped around her shoulders. Her arms are outstretched as she sings. Behind her is a red curtain and fairy lights.

Annus Horribilis by Sharnema Nougar

A brutally funny character comedy about surgical menopause. Stop laughing. It's not funny. (It is.) Outrageous characters, original songs, real stories, and passionate advocacy about hormonal health. A profoundly hilarious romp by award winning numpty noodlehead Sharnema Nougar. 

Sharnema is the director of Mel McGlensey's MOTORBOAT & NORMAL, Sugar Bits are: FEMINIST TRASH & Gemma Caruana's RAGE BAIT.

We Did Good is a multi award-winning alternative comedy collective of three clowns from around Australia. Their work is driven by a desire to bring people together to create shared experiences that are new and adventurous, as well as playful and profoundly unintellectual. They mix classic European physical theatre styles with modern improvisation techniques and general buffoonery. They have trained and toured nationally and internationally for more than two decades at institutions including WAAPA, Faber Writing Academy, Federation University, Giovanni Fussetti’s Helikos Studio, Stella Adler Academy of Acting, and Gaulier. Expect political solo works of fierce advocacy, as well as tight ensemble shows of sublime stupidity. We Did Good is: Sharnema Nougar, David Tieck and Nicola Pohl.
