Adelaide Fringe 2026

Kate Dolan: Trout

Rapid fire, high energy, off kilter. This is stand up comedy but different. Join award winning comic Kate Dolan for her brand new hour of absurdist stand up, ‘Trout’ unspools the idea that in 2026 being a fish in the river might be nicer than a woman on land. Expect a loud woman on stage being loud.
