Other People's Shows

September 14th at 9:15pm

Other People’s Shows is part genius, part drunk parrot: smart comedy with a shot of shameless mockery. You pick a show out of the Fringe Guide, and Unleashed! Improv will perform its interpretation of it on the spot – inspired only by the show’s description. Fringe performers will finally get a chance to see their own shows! But that’s not all. In the spirit of borrowing other people’s material, the twisted team will also interact with the audience, staging hilarious contests, show-downs, and feats of comedy strength based on TV and film favorites. A huge hit at previous Fringes, this year’s late-night version in the spectacular Spiegeltent will be legendary!

Silent Disco

September 14th at 11:00pm

The glamorous Spiegeltent will be filled once again with a giant dance party. But with a Fringe-y twist: you don’t hear a sound until you slip on a set of headphones. Wait! Is that Donna Summer on one channel, Calvin Harris on the second and Halsey on the third? A three-channel system and live DJs let you switch up your music at the touch of a button. Hugely popular at festivals like Bonnaroo and Burning Man, it’s an unforgettable experience you have to see – and not hear – to believe!

Disco Kids

September 15th at 12:30pm

Back by popular demand. Big party for pint-size dance machines takes over the Spiegeltent. The next generation of club kids is here, popping and pouting up a storm. Disco Kids is a nonstop, fun-filled, dance extravaganza that is the talk of kid town. Lights, music, and glow sticks. Welcome to the Fringe's not-so-silent disco.

Mimosas and coffee will be available in the Spiegeltent Bar. (You’re welcome, mom and dad.) PLEASE NOTE: Disco Kids is not Silent Disco for kids. There are no headphones involved. Only DJs. And loads and loads of fun.
