What is FRINGE WORLD?

FRINGE WORLD is a summer celebration held in Perth and Western Australia each year. 

It’s the largest annual event in WA and the third largest Fringe in the world with 700 events at almost 138 venues and performance spaces. The 2019 FRINGE WORLD Festival will run for 31 days from 18 January to 17 February.

The program of events is all about variety and offering something for absolutely everyone. The line-up includes comedy, circus, free and family entertainment, theatre, visual arts, musicals, dance and cabaret presented by Western Australian artists along with performers from all over the world.

The average ticket price is a bargain $25 and the best way to Fringe is to see as many as possible - this is your time to Fringe Binge!
