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

The image features a bold red background with a sharp black silhouette designed to immediately capture attention. At the center stands a mysterious figure wearing a fedora and trench coat, holding a gun — a clear nod to classic noir or mafia iconography. The lower half of the silhouette morphs into a city skyline, symbolizing dominance, influence, and connection to the urban underworld. The high-contrast style and minimal color palette create a sense of intrigue and power, making the image instantly recognizable and accessible as a visual emblem for crime, mystery, or detective-themed content.
Photographic of several guests from a previous show. Central person, Sophie Power, is laughing intensely in her seat as two beside her present slightly shocked faces and person in front of her has her head turned away from camera facing Sophie.
The image captures a lively and engaging moment on stage during a performance or show. In the foreground, a woman, Alex Hines, seated on a chair is mid-laughter, reacting with wide-eyed excitement and open-mouthed surprise while holding a notepad and pen. Her expressive energy suggests a humorous or unexpected moment. Beside her, a man stands at a wooden lectern, speaking into a microphone with a composed, amused expression.

MAFIA The Game: The Show

The Mafia have taken over our town! No one is safe. Civilians are dying every night and we're running out of time. Six comedians have been recruited to uncover who the cold-blooded killers are and bring them to justice. However, we've just been informed the Mafia have infiltrated the investigation - there are moles among the six, silencing our comic detectives one by one.

Come watch the hit role-playing game come to life in a hilarious live show!

Based on the game of the same name, come watch a panel show like no other, as we pit a rotating cast of Fringe's funniest against each other in a comedy show filled with as many laughs as there are lies.
