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

KINDER

After an unexpected call from a library derails the headliner of a drag reading hour, Goody Prostate must scramble together a new act for a crowd of unruly children and their parents.

But as they race against the clock to pull off a new number in time, they spiral into a chaotic interrogation of childhood, memory, and an overdue examination of what it means to 'grow up'.

The library is open. So sit down, be quiet, and listen up; there’s a new story to check out. Because sometimes, reading is what? Fundamentalist.
