A pet fish's brush with death becomes an absurdist odyssey in All Fish Everywhere's world premiere of Get (your fish) Living or Die Trying (to save your fish), at Inner West Pride Centre – Pride Hall, Newtown, 17–19 Sep for Sydney Fringe 2026.

Troy Rogers' autobiographical one-hander Drug Baby is a vaudevillian solo show — a confessional, a homily and an emotional car crash all at once — playing the Boom Boom Room of Erskineville Town Hall for Sydney Fringe 2026.
