The Perth Fringe World Festival is one of the fastest growing Music/Comedy/Cabaret/whatever Festivals in the world.



It is currently the fifth largest, which since it only started in 2011 is phenomenal. So quickly has it grown that it has overflowed the confines of Northbridge, where dressing rooms are being pressed into service for intimate cabarets as performance space is in ever-greater demand.



2014 saw the first Midlandia , the use of the historic Midland Junction Arts Centre as a venue. So popular did it prove that it won the Fringe World Best Independent Venue last year and the Fringe has happily seized upon the opportunity to give those who don't want to travel all the way into Perth, but do want to see world-class entertainment at moderate prices.



As an official Fringe venue the iconic building will play host to seventy-two shows performed by thirty Fringe acts, with a wide range of entertainment, comedy, cabaret and theatre.

Just a small sample of the acts on offer are Blues and Burlesque - we take you back to the cabaret show of yesteryear with live original music from Dexy's Pete Saunders, this is an "extraordinary fusion of blues, comedy and burlesque"

Marcel Lucont is a multi-award-winning French comedian who shares his "majestic musings on mortality, morality and masculinity".

New this year is Suitcase Rummag e, a mini scaled market focused on fostering entrepreneurs and their locally produced handmade, recycled and up-cycled products all from a suitcase from "vintage artwork, bric-a-brac, clothing, books, jewellery, seconds, hand-made, shoes, records, music, badges, cards, paper and more!"

Midlandia is open from 5.30pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening from January 29 to February 21.

Tickets for all Fringe World shows are available from their au website .
