This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

Sitting sideways on a chair in a denim outfit grinning and scrunching her face playfully, a woman hugs her bent legs to her chest. One foot kicks upward in white sneakers. A warm lamp and a leafy houseplant sit on the floor beside her, creating a cozy indoor scene.

Age of Reason - A Love Letter to Coming of Age and John Farnham

Raised in a big Italian household filled with Aussie Rock Classics on repeat, Jayda D'Agostino has found herself in her twenties a self-proclaimed John Farnham 'stan'.

A big thinker, a big feeler and a perpetual pessimist, Jayda finds herself turning to the music of her childhood to bring her joy, and there's no artist whose infectious passion and raucous vocals who could do it better.

A FRINGE WORLD world premiere, join Perth-born vocalist and singer/songwriter Jayda D'Agostino and a live band as we soundtrack your evening with Jayda's personal favourite John Farnham classics, stories of coming of age, and a girl who's forever figuring it out. Whether you're a stan like Jayda or the lucky newbie just introduced, you will leave with the music of John Farnham in your heart.
