Why I Stuck A Flare Up My Ar** For England

It’s the EURO 2020 Final at Wembley — and Billy’s just gone viral for sticking a flare up his ar**!

This blisteringly funny, wildly original play returns to Adelaide this Fringe after sell-out runs and international acclaim. Billy and his best mate Adam live and breathe football — it’s their escape, their religion, their life. But when a new crowd enters the scene, their loyalty and identity are pushed to the limit.

Back for a second year after winning Best Theatre Show at Adelaide Fringe 2025, this is the multi-award-winning bum flare play that’s taken the world by storm. Raw, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, Why I Stuck A Flare Up My Ar* For England!* dives deep into fandom, masculinity and belonging — with explosive results.

General Admission Seating. Free parking available. Please note, events at Coopers Stadium affect parking.
