The middle performer looks serious while holding a blow-up doll with curly orange hair. The performer on the right smiles and gives a peace sign. Bold pink and red text reads “the drunk show,” with “fringe late night comedy” below it. An R18+ restricted classification badge appears in the bottom right corner.

The Drunk Show: Comedy up Late

Welcome to The Drunk Show - the FRINGE WORLD late-night chaos crew where anything can and will happen. Hosted by the hilarious, racially ambiguous workhorse of Perth's comedy scene, Xavier Susai, expect a night of stand-up, random Japanese game shows, roast battles, bucket pulls and one-liners from festival freaks, seasoned pros, and foolish new comics taking their shots in front of a live audience.

He will be accompanied by his suburban, caucasian and ethnic derro friends, all of which have no place in the arts. You are to expect profanity, outrageous antics, questionable legal advice from unlicensed lawyers, and comedians putting their names down to get cancelled. Whether you’re here to rant about Perth, your ex, or just to escape the lunatics in the streets of Northbridge, fellow Perthian, this is your refuge of hot nonsense and pure comedy mayhem.

"A really well air-conditioned venue" Fringe Punter, 2026(?)

"As for Susai, it's only a matter of WHEN not IF, he shoots to the top!" Mo Sidik, Comedy Central
