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

Black-and-white image of a woman dressed in gothic attire — a wide-brimmed hat with fringe, dark dress and corset, and long straight hair. Behind her is a stylised pastel silhouette of her figure in yellow and pink. To the right, the title “Spite And Other Delights” appears in dripping, gothic-style lettering above a bright pink paint-splatter graphic.
A stylised black-and-green design featuring a performer in gothic attire holding a microphone. They wear a dark hat with fringe, a corseted jacket, and gesture outward while speaking. A glowing green-and-white silhouette of their figure is echoed behind them. Splattered paint graphics appear around the edges. Gothic text on the left reads: “I didn’t transition to be happy, I transitioned to be Sad in more authentic ways.”
A performer in dark vintage clothing and a fringed hat, standing with hands clasped. A glowing green-and-white silhouette of the same figure appears behind them. On the right, dripping green slime forms a dome above stylised text that reads: “So I recently learned that I’m full of Rocks.”

Aves Robins: Spite And Other Delights

In the past year Aves Robins has been under the knife, read way too much obscure Catholic history, and somehow transformed into a goth jellyfish. 

Her friends and family are bewildered and concerned.

And she has but one opportunity to convince them it's all going to be okay.

Spite and Other Delights is a love letter to the absurd, it’s comedy that can only be performed by someone who is not afraid of the dark. 

At least not as much as overhead lighting.
