So Soiree Fringe Garden at Grattan Gardens

For 11 nights in October, Prahran’s Greville Street gets its own festival precinct with So Soiree Fringe Garden: a wonderland of award-winning performances that promise to be quirky and hilarious, with that uniquely Fringe spirit.

From October 10 to 20, Grattan Gardens on comes to life with a line-up of eight curated Fringe shows – from Apricity’s contemporary circus and the all-female Yuck Circus to hilarious cabaret divas Dolly Diamond and Leather Lungs, plus the much-anticipated return of Granny Bingo. And it all takes place in the Ukiyo Tent, a new 200-capacity circus tent designed for all kinds of entertainment.

Also back by popular demand is Speed: The Movie, The Play, a hilarious parody of the iconic thriller Speed, the blockbuster starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, which turns 30 this year. Produced and co-written by Natalie Bochenski, Speed: The Movie, The Play is an hour-long high-octane trip down memory lane in a vintage Mercedes Benz bus.

The Box Office opens at 5pm, with drinks nightly from the same time. Happy hour runs from 5pm to 6pm with $10 Aperol spritzes and two-for-one tickets to shows that same night.

The So Soiree Fringe Garden is proudly produced by the City of Stonnington as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Find out more and plan your visit.
