This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2025 season. This season is now over.

If You're From Africa?

Ever paid a trillion dollars for bread? How about boil your bath water on a fire in your garden? Feared for your life during an election? These are just some of the many fun things you got to do in Zimbabwe!

Join Harare-born Lukas Meintjes for his first ever solo show about immigrating to the world's most liveable city. An hour of laughs, clowning around and moments of deep concern as he takes you on a journey about growing up gay in Zimbabwe. 

2 x Judges' Pick - Melbourne Fringe

★★★★★ - Lukas' Uber rating (rounded up)

Presented by: Lukas Meintjes

A VCA and NIDA reject, Lukas got a spot in the budget year-long NIDA acting course in Melbourne, then stumbled into clowning. He’s since trained under Phillip Burgers, Clare Bartholomew and Emily Goddard, rather than f#@k off to France.
