Event
Victa Cinema will host its first Adelaide Fringe Festival Takeover on March 7-8, bringing comedy, theatre, local talent and international film to the heritage cinema.
The two-day festival is supported by the Fringe Fund, which fosters arts engagement, and festival experience across South Australia, helping to bring a genuine Fringe experience to the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The program features a mix of live performances, thought-provoking film, and world-class storytelling, making festival entertainment more accessible for southern regional audiences.
"We're incredibly excited to bring this line‑up to Victa Cinema for locals to enjoy" said Jarrad Jenkins, Coordinator at Victa Cinema.
The weekend kicks off with Open[ing] Mic on Saturday morning, a welcoming, community-centered session where local performers, emerging artists, musicians, poets, and comedians take the stage to launch the Fringe weekend. Registrations to perform are open now, via the cinema website.
Adelaide Fringe favourite Gordon Southern brings two hit comedy shows: Great Southern Man, a fast-paced, witty show with sharp cultural insight, and A Brief History of History, a hilarious journey through time blending storytelling with Fringe inventiveness.
Railway Bob offers a heartfelt, family-friendly theatre performance exploring history, resilience, and Australian storytelling.
The festival also features a curated selection from the SAGA International Women's Film Festival, showcasing globally recognised films by women directors. Audiences can expect bold stories, powerful perspectives, and a true international festival experience.
