Cabbage The Clown: Cinemadrome

Tickets HERE

Witness multi-award winning cinematic drag chaos in stunning CinemaScopeVision! 

Minimum wage cinema employee turned multi award-winning tragic fool Cabbage the Clown's debut hour marries a buffet of genres in polygamous holy matrimony in the name of drag in their “Gen-Z, loudly queer and thoroughly hilarious” (Binge Fringe) debut hour.

With over 8 million views online for their genre-busting brand of multimedia drag-clowning, Cabbage presents their critically-acclaimed debut show: One part breathless parody of cinematic history, one part thoughtful dissection of minimum wage careers, one part rolling around on the floor covered in popcorn. So talk through the trailers, get the loudest snacks available, then sit back, relax and enjoy this Bechdel Test-passing, BBFC-unapproved, global premiere.

Tom Ward: Post-millennium Tension

Before Tom bails out on the modern world entirely to commit to nostalgia full-time, the burner phone using, Discman carrying, 1988-1995 obsessed freak is giving the present tense one last try. Not for him, but for his 2-year-old son who lives there. But how does 2026 compare to the one he grew up in? Tom explores the head f**k of popular culture in the modern world versus that of his youth in his trademark bittersweet style.

Sashi Perera - Pear Tree

Tickets HERE

Sashi’s surname - Perera - means pear tree in Portuguese. You won’t believe how mad Portugal gets if you mention why it’s a super common name in Sri Lanka hehe.

Pear Tree is a stand up comedy show about pear shaped events between Sri Lanka and Australia. It’s about family, love, homes, knives, kids and cats - spliced with a bit of geopolitics and singing. As with her last show Boundaries (now on YouTube) Sashi’s signature observations remain dedicated to taking absolutely nothing too seriously.

Sashi is a Sri Lankan Australian comedian, writer and recovering lawyer. After working with refugee organisations around the globe, she moved to Melbourne to do her masters and fell arse backwards into comedy. She’s now one of Australia’s fastest rising comedians, known for her sharp wit, unique international tales and bizarre insights.

In 2023, she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, she’s sold out shows in six countries, opened for Hannah Gadsby and made a slew of television appearances including Channel 10’s Have You Been Paying Attention and ABC’s Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Her memoir Standstill was published by Penguin Random House in August 2025.

Off the back of a total sell-out tour in 2024, Andrew Ryan is back with a brand-new show. Everyone’s favourite Cork in the North returns in good faith and in an honest capacity with what promises to be his biggest and most hilarious show to date. 

On the face of it Andrew is utterly delighted with himself these days; he’s happy, confident, can drive a golf ball 300 yards and is excited for the future as a newlywed. Barely touch that surface and the reality is he cannot get out of his own way and continues to make utterly bewildering decisions with hilarious consequences. Join him for his new show with tales of pet ownership, constant inability to read a room, and his unrelenting frustration and annoyance with the world around him. Everything is fine, until it’s not!

Host of the Q Radio Breakfast Show and Star of The Two Jonnies Late Night Lock In (RTE), The Blame Game (BBC), Comedy Central Live, along with hit appearances on some of the biggest comedy podcasts in the UK and Ireland. He is a frequent viral hit with over 50 million views amassed across social media.

“Well paced, well written, delivers plenty of laughs”

Should you know about your dad’s seduction techniques?

*LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL BEST SHOW NOMINEE*

*EDINBURGH FRINGE SOLD OUT SEASON*

Edgy. Dark. Hilarious.

In this unfiltered and unapologetic hour, Michael will weigh into the topics that most comedians are smart enough to avoid.

"Shafar circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse." ★★★★½ The Age

"Shafar has a disarmingly relaxed approach and an intelligent sense of humour with a wildly inventive, darkly comic imagination." ★★★★★ The Edinburgh Reporter

"He’s a brand of comedian that is getting rarer and rarer to come by these days, and if you’re among those who fear comedy has gotten too politically correct, this show will put those fears to rest." ★★★★ TimeOut
