two giant hands coming down from the sky, parting the clouds. They hold golden jelly.

Spiritual guru (played by Jem Nicholas) raises her right hand, mouth agape in sermon. She has shoulder-length blonde hair, Caucasian skin and is wearing white linen shirt and pants with a long, tan-coloured necklace.

Spiritual guru, Jem Nicholas, raises her hands above her head and her mouth to the sky. She is wearing a white linen top against a black background.

Standing Room Only

CHAOS. TRANSCENDENCE. SWEATY, JELLY-SOAKED ENLIGHTENMENT.

An hour of primal mayhem and spiritual absurdity, where deep breathing collides with WWE smackdowns, and Fringe’s wildest acts moonlight as your very own spiritual guides.

Led by Tasmanian multi-talent Jem Nicholas—your suspect head guru—this genre-defying spectacle teleports you into embodiment, chanting, and jelly wrestling showdowns featuring Matt Hayter & Jett Armstrong from Riot City Wrestling. Each night, a surprise lineup of Fringe’s finest musicians, comedians, and artists push you further into the portal.

Expect ecstasy, existential crisis, sticky liberation… all in under 55 minutes.

"I left reborn. And covered in jelly."

LIMITED SPACE. UNLIMITED ENLIGHTENMENT. BOOK NOW!

Standing Room Only is pretty damn weird. I had a divine time... The more energy you give to this show, the more you’ll get out of it. - Christian Best, Binge Fringe
