We are super excited to announce and launch our newest addition to the Southbound 2016 festival: Commedia Dell Southbound! The creative minds behind the likes of Beaufort Street Festival and Fringe World Venues Noodle Palace and Midlandia, that’s right JumpClimb, have carefully curated this unique space for the festival along with one of Perth’s most renowned showmen, Tomas Ford.
After all the feedback we received after the 2015 festival, we heard your pleas to have more shade to help with the blistering and sweating hot summer days of January. For the 2016 festival, we’ve not only added a little bit of shade but we’ve added a whole lot! We’ve added an entire big top tent that will not only provide a cool oasis of shade, but also will house a whole new program of yummy food, drinks and of course, entertainment.
There will be comedy, burlesque, and circus style performances from innovative and creative artists from Australia and abroad. Comedians include Dr Professor Neal Portenza, Dave Warneke’s Facty Fact Game Show, Adam Peter Scott’s Trivia Death Match, Mike G, Nicole Henriksen, Ayden Doherty, and Cameron McLaren. On the burlesque front you’ll see sizzling and saucy shows from Sugar Blue Burlesque, Attack of The Drag Queens, and Bingay! Music lovers won’t be disappointed either with Empty bringing his rap face-off Openbars, and you can even bring out the inner Beyonce in you with Bey Dance Workshop. Plus there’ll also be Superstar Karaoke, Ayden Doherty’s Naked Race, Mac The Comedy Computer, Pirateman & Jake Firebrand, and Crap Music Rave Jukebox to get involved in.
The Commedia Dell Southbound is definitely the place to be to keep not only cool, but endlessly entertained!
