Got a case of Yellow Fever (colloquially of course)? The cure might start with swallowing some hard truths – like the fact that this show, born out of real accounts stemming from harmful stereotypes, is an absolute must-see for every Fringe go-er!

This musical cabaret is an intellectual illustration of problematic Asian tropes, interwoven with the life story of performer Kelly Lim Harris. With layers of comedic tongue-in-cheek moments and dark heartbreaking facts, this show is entertaining, eye-opening, and bursting with relatable content: whether you’re a woman, whether you’re Asian, whether you’re in the entertainment industry, or whether you’re just interested in hearing her story. The analytical nature of the show allows the audience to reflect on their own awareness or association with the scourge of the ‘Yellow Fever’ fetish, without feeling shameful, attacked, or blamed in anyway – truly a masterclass in broaching uncomfortable topics, sans confrontation. 

With an originally produced soundtrack including hits like, “Too Good to Ignore”, “Like Angels Do” and "(Please Don't Tell Me) I'd Be Great in Miss Saigon”, Kelly Lim Harris wows and delights by demonstrating that not only does she possess a confident and engaging prowess as a storyteller, but she is also a beautifully masterful vocalist - definitely a performer worth seeing again and again and again. 

This performance is a war cry against the objectification of women, particularly Asian women, as has been perpetrated through centuries of stereotypical media, advertising, literature, and so much more. Whether it’s a case of turning negative experiences into memorable art, or seeking revenge in the most tasteful way on those who have wronged her, Kelly Lim Harris and 'Yellow Fever' are smashing their FRINGE WORLD debut, and are destined to get bigger and better from here!
