Club Fringe: Smack Down

  • Free
  • Music

Are you ready to rumble? Artists from across the Festival prepare to throw down in this night of category combat. Representatives from different genres will go head-to-head creating a performance in a category wildly outside their comfort zone.

Expect poets performing experimental dance, comedians putting their Burlesque skills to the test, and absolutely no actual wrestling. Choose your fighter. Cheer your champion. Don’t hold back on the dancefloor, because these artists won’t on the stage.

See you in the ring.
