In this episode, we're chatting with Thomas Gorham, the director of Fool's Paradise, a fantastic venue at the Adelaide Fringe. We're talking about what's new and exciting at this year's event, from family-friendly shows to some more... saucy options. Thomas shares the story behind Fool's Paradise and its growth, as well as the unique experiences you can expect, like All Star Circus and Alixa Revived. We're also getting the lowdown on what it takes to perform in a show like Alixa Revived, where the line between comedy and, ahem, something else is blurred.

Back in Adelaide. Back in Breakfast.

Ben and Liam are back on Adelaide breakfast, sharing stories from real life and finding the funny in the chaos.

Ben is the practical one, a dad of two young kids who spends his weekends fixing things around the house. Liam is newly married and still figuring out how adulthood actually works.

Together,they share stories from their lives, try questionable ideas, and turn everyday moments into something worth laughing about.

Hear the full show and the best bits on demand! And listen weekdays from 6am on Adelaide’s KIIS 1023.
