We’ve put together a list of Fringe shows to watch in 2026, spotlighting those created by people with lived experience of disability.
Check out our list below….
Part spoken word and part movement theatre, SPECTRUM is an award-nominated solo show based on Jess’ lived experience of neurodivergence.
Electric, intimate and fiercely tender, Spectrum explores what it is like to grow up with AuADHD through a vivid interplay of colour, metaphor and motion.
Raw, lyrical and quietly defiant, SPECTRUM holds fast to a single truth: that difference is not a deficit but a powerful offer all of its own.
Alexandra has been disabled her entire life, an experience that is rooted in misunderstanding. It manifests in odd experiences, awkward encounters (sometimes her) and often very funny instances. The Age says, “Don’t underestimate her laid-back vibe, she’ll sneak in an outrageous punch line when you least expect it."
Joshua Warrior returns with BLACK, BLIND & BOODLI. A raw, fearless and hilarious stand-up experience. Blinded but not defeated, this powerhouse Aboriginal comic flips struggle into comedy with sharp wit, wild storytelling and brilliantly human moments.
Step inside the wonderfully chaotic brain of a late-diagnosed AuDHDer Georgy Rochow as she dives headfirst into the sticky challenges of navigating adulthood with big feelings and the absurdity of simply trying to keep it all together.
Blending comedy, music, and raw honesty, Georgy’s performances strike a rare balance between heartfelt and hilarious - always unafraid to lean into the messy, joyful, and unhinged.
For one night only, Amplifii takes over Harts Mill in Port Adelaide, transforming the iconic venue into a vibrant hub of music, dancing, and unforgettable vibes. With Adelaide’s hottest DJs and bands lighting up the main stage, alongside a silent disco, and sensory experiences like vibrating vests, Amplifii promises an all-inclusive celebration for music lovers of all kinds. Need a breather? Recharge in the chill-out sensory zone!
Matt is a 38yr old 10-pin bowling champ, master of mash ‘n’ gravy at KFC, performed as the Grinch at Movie World, slays an Eminem rap, can quote any WWE fact or speech and cruises around the Gold Coast on his electric scooter in underwear that matches the day of the week he’s wearing it. And he has Autism.
Produced by award winning disability led company Abundabiliteez Productions, this anticipated return season invites you to once again share in Matt's personal story and understanding of the world through an emotional “Pixar-like” kaleidoscope and rollercoaster ride of JOY, SADNESS, ANGER, DISGUST and FEAR.
