FRINGE WORLD returns with a burst of creativity, captivating audiences with a kaleidoscope of performances from Wednesday, 21st January until Sunday 15th February. 

The 2026 line up promises a tapestry of awe-inspiring local acts and international artists, weaving together a cultural celebration that transcends boundaries.

From the heart of Western Australia to the far reaches of global creativity, the program of must-see performances encapsulates the essence of Fringe — daring, innovative, and always pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. 

The struggle to choose a Fringe show to watch is real. Here at Perth Happenings, we offer one of the most extensive coverages of the Fringe program. Last year, we reviewed 72 shows throughout the three week run. How many will we cover this year?
