Cirque Du Cosplay is a nerdy, adults-only variety show, featuring a diverse line-up across burlesque, drag, pole, aerial, and other circus arts. Each of our artists will bring an elaborately costumed act based on one of their favourite fictional characters from video games or anime, meshing the art of cosplay with their skill as a performer. Cirque Du Cosplay is co-hosted by local burlesque clowns and renowned nerds Diana Divine and Starling Strix and presented by AVCon, Adelaide’s Anime and Gaming Festival.
Featuring numerous award-winning local SA artists and some of Adelaide’s most talented rising stars. A naughty, nerdy treat at Fringe 2025!
