It's the last show of 2021! The Adelaide Fringe has officially wrapped up and this last week has been packed full of Fringey fun as we say 2021 and done 🌈 I was lucky enough to be invited onto the Pride & Prejudice radio show to chat Fringe, attend the 2021 Adelaide Fringe Awards and squeeze in one last show before the end of the festival season.

It's been another HUGE week at The Fringe! 🌈 Between a secret celebrity opening night proposal, COVID traces found in our wastewater (ahh!!) and racist reviews rocking performers and their supporters - the fourth week of Fringe has been full of up's and down's. I got myself a COVID-19 test (all clear!) and stayed away from shows for a few days to instead bring you a jam-packed educational episode that will hopefully get you up to speed with news you won't find on your Facebook feed. Make sure you check out the links in the show notes below, especially as we relay Victoria Falconer's story 💖

It’s week two! And we’ve received the best present we could ever ask for… DANCING IS BACK! The SA Government announced this week that they are now allowing dancing under certain circumstances (honestly, who would have known I’d be writing that sentence this time last year!).
