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

A bowl cut man in a footy jersey rambunctiously punches the air while grinning
A man in a maroons football shirt and yellow jacket splays against a wall, his hands spread high above his head. His expression is excited, his eyes wide and enthusiastic. Colourful graffiti covers the wall behind him.
A man in a maroons football jersey kneels, he furrows his brow, his mouth open and taut. His hand is outstretched before him.

ODIE

Take a seat in the members box for this one-man, high energy, darkly comic epic poem for the discerning modern hooligan. In this 'high language, low brow' retelling of the Odyssey, a Queensland State of Origin supporter has travelled interstate for Australia's favourite annual bloodsport. But once the trains stop and his terrible friends start getting him caught in mythically bad situations, Odie will have to fight, drink, punt, spew, reckon with the quasi-mythic manifestations of Australian vice, and then spew again, before finally getting back to his missus Penny at the Ithaca Suites.
