The highly anticipated Fool’s Paradise show tickets are now on sale, as part of the Adelaide Fringe 2025 Program launch today.
Located in the heart of Adelaide in Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga, Fool’s Paradise promises to be an epicentre of activity, offering a unique blend of circus, cabaret, comedy, music, and magic for Fringe 2025.
Fool’s Paradise is the only current artist-run hub at the Fringe, where creativity flourishes and everyone benefits from the energy and attractions. The precinct will feature two unique venues, each with a stacked program of world-class performances.
Highlights include the award-winning shows “All-Star Circus” and “Elixir Revived” by Head First Acrobats, known for their extraordinary feats and hilarious slapstick comedy.
Callan Harris, Precinct Co-Director & Performer/Director, said, “Fool’s Paradise is a celebration of creativity and community. We are thrilled to bring together artists and audiences in a space where everyone can thrive and enjoy the magic of the Fringe.”
In addition to the stellar lineup of over 50 shows, Fool’s Paradise will offer an impressive array of food and beverage options from local South Australian producers.
Visitors can also enjoy FREE mini golf, a giant trapeze, and a free music programme with a focus on multicultural friendly music, making it the most interactive, family and wallet-friendly precinct at Adelaide Fringe 2025 by day and a little naughty but still fun and affordable at night.
Thomas Gorham, Precinct Co-Director & Performer/Director, added, “Our goal is to create an inclusive and engaging environment that offers something for everyone. From world-class performances to interactive activities and delicious food and drinks, Fool’s Paradise is the place to be this Fringe season.”
“Last year, this thriving central precinct Fool’s Paradise welcomed more than 40,000 visits, with over 24,000 show tickets sold over the course of the season. In 2025, we will have increased our programme from 36 to 51 shows and are expecting to exceed last year’s numbers with an expected crowd of at least 50,000” said Gorham.
