FRINGE WORLD Festival 2025 is getting ready to cook up a storm from 17 Jan to 16 Feb, and our Friends will be first in line (literally).

First Dibs on the program, line-skipping superpowers and tasty deals are just the start of why you should JUMP on this Friendship.

We figured you may not take our word for it, so we chatted with some of our nearest and dearest for their hot take on why they have continued to invest in the Fringey Friendship for over 5 years...

 

"I love being a Fringe Friend, it's such a delightful and fantastic experience to be apart of. You receive so much for friendship, so many Fringey rewards all year round. I love the Fringefeed sent to me and the inclusiveness of the community within. Some years I have not been able to attend the festival but have still bought my membership as some type of contribution." - Deanna

 

"The Fringe Friend benefit I love the most is the skip-the-line pass. As I do not live near the main Fringe hubs, I come into town and make the most of my evening by booking 2 to 3 shows. By using the Fringe Friend skip-the-line, I can book the shows closer together as I do not have to queue up in the primary line, saving me lots of time. I appreciate having early access to my favourite artists and securing my preferred dates and times. Word gets out very fast when a show is good, and I often go back to the same artists year after year as their shows are top notch entertainment and sell out fast." - David

 

“Because it fires the starting gun for another year on supporting amazing artists to put on amazing shows where sometimes you literally don’t know what might be around the next corner, but that’s the drop dead beauty of Fringe isn’t it….and hey, the skip-the-line pass is absolute gold when you’re doing 3 shows on the same night!!” - John

 

"Being a Fringe Friend gives me the opportunity to see more events each year and to support more artists. Early program access provides the chance to plan multishow Fringe nights with friends and to introduce new people to the fabulous world of Fringe." - Robin

 

"Fringe is an amazing opportunity to enjoy all types of entertainment at a reasonable price. Friends of Fringe makes it easier to get your tickets see reviews and sometimes save a few $$.  Love it " - Tracey

 

"I absolutely love the Fringey time of the year in Perth!  The vibe in the Pleasure Garden is such a delight.  It is so great to have so much choice with what’s on!  Having a “date night” with my Fringe Friend gives us a chance to sample so many great Fringe performances.  We are absolutely spoilt for choice. Being a Friend is really important to me, as I know how much “behind the scenes” work goes on to bring the Fringe Festival alive each year.  My small contribution helps in a little way, plus it is definitely a feel-good thing to do.  The skip-the-line pass is a great thank you, I reckon!  

I love that you don’t always know what you are going to get at Fringe, and that is a good thing!  Love it, not so much, and everything in between….  it is great to support artists doing their thing.  Massive respect and shout out to ALL the artists out there!  My life is richer because of you all." - Mar
