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

In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, in a phone booth a woman is changing out of hospital scrubs and into a ballgown.

Kirsty Mann: Skeletons

Kirsty has been keeping a huge secret - she’s a doctor. But please don’t tell anyone, she wants people to take her seriously as a comedian. 

Fresh from award-winning sell-out rave-reviewed runs at Edinburgh Fringe, Soho Theatre and Fringe World Perth, Kirsty brings her ridiculous tale of subterfuge to Adelaide.
