OnlyGrans

Comedy • Clown
United Kingdom (England) • Australian Premiere

Introducing Geri, the old lady who bakes the best shortbread but voted 'no' on the 2017 plebiscite because "that kind of thing just isn't for her". Join her as she navigates the world of online dating searching for a companion. From "explicit pictures" to "HOT MILFS", Geri sees it all and realises that maybe a little spice is what keeps a soul young.

Created by Greek/Australian actress Nathalie Fenwick, OnlyGrans in an homage to both the clown and the queer community. Having graduated from Ecole Philippe Gaulier in Paris, Nathalie debuted the show in London in 2023 with warm reception, highlighting the power of comedy to make serious issues accessible and begin much needed conversation.

Adelaide Fringe will be the Australian debut of the show.
