  • That’s a wrap on Sydney & Melbourne Fringe! I’ve That’s a wrap on Sydney & Melbourne Fringe!

I’ve seen 29 shows in the last five weeks, and that’s my favourite thing about Fringe. I pick a show, come early, stay late, and see whatever is on before & after. 

My selection process is highly sophisticated - most of the time it’s just chatting to an artist with a flyer. And I love meeting the artists cause they’re brilliant & brave, clowns, comedians, storytellers, stand ups. 

I can’t stress enough how inspiring it is to go see live theatre. Real life human beings right in front of your face, making you laugh, cry, and wonder. So go get tickets to something! Anything!

Splits tricksing with these baddies & beauties! We straddled & pancaked in honour of Jacalyn Williams aka Rockit 🚀

It was a joy to be a part of The Rockit Foundation’s fundraiser workshop weekend, raising funds to provide access to vital psychological support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts. Thank you for organizing this @aerial.alex ♥️

I can’t wait to train with y’all again soon!
    I’m still elated from closing night of THE POLE SH I’m still elated from closing night of THE POLE SHEBANG at Melbourne Fringe - wrapping up this SYD/MEL tour, my 2nd tour of the year, the year of my Australian debut…

51 shows later, I still love performing this show. I spent my first few festivals in Canada throughout 2024/5 just figuring out what the heck this show is. And then I spent all this year in Australia figuring out how to self-produce…

There’s still heaps more to implement - as a producer and as an artist - and I’m working on more dates for next year… but for now, a bajillion thanks to all the friends, family, volunteers, Fringe staff, venue techs, FOH, punters, and polers - I couldn’t have done this without you and I appreciate you so much 🥹🙏♥️
    Melbourne Fringe, we’re not done yet… This week o Melbourne Fringe, we’re not done yet…

This week only, La Folie After Dark descends upon Gasworks with two scintillating lineups of aerialist  mayhem: 🔥 Sultry Sins 🔥 + 🌒 Dark 🌘

Catch me burning it up on fly pole in the DARK lineup on Friday & Saturday 8pm - get your tix and spend the night with us…
    I’m so touched by all these audience comments! Th I’m so touched by all these audience comments!

The Pole Shebang has now closed at Melbourne Fringe, wrapping up this two-city tour, and finishing off my Australian debut year with five festivals in total!

There’s so much to process - assessing my rewrites, adjusting the marketing plan, updating tech notes - planning for next year’s festivals… but for now, I’ll just bask in the glory of these awesome messages. 

Thanks to everyone, near & far, who’s been supporting The Pole Shebang - I never could’ve done it without you 🥰💥
    I love these audience recordings, not just for the I love these audience recordings, not just for the kind words about The Pole Shebang, but for the genuine moments of awkward silliness. They are so human!

Thanks so much for coming to these shows. Last night was my 50th, and tonight is my final one at Melbourne Fringe…

Get your tix and bring your friends! And if you don’t have any friends, I’ll be your friend :)

💥 THE POLE SHEBANG 💥
Final Show at @melbfringe
