  Adelaide Fringe Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adelaide Fringe Festival is an arts festival held annually in the South Australian capital of Adelaide.
The Adelaide Fringe evolved in the early 1970s as a reaction against the Establishment and the then 'mainstream' Adelaide Festival of Arts.
The Adelaide Fringe is renowned for fresh ideas, risk, imagination, spontaneity and fun, and is widely regarded as one of the best events of its kind in the world.

 Edinburgh Fringe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fringe is so called after Robert Kemp, a Scottish journalist, wrote during the second Edinburgh International Festival in 1948: ‘Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before … I am afraid some of us are not going to be at home during the evenings!’.
While their original objective was to maintain something of the Festival atmosphere in Edinburgh all year round, the Traverse quickly and regularly presented cutting edge drama to an international audience on both the Edinburgh International Festival and on the Fringe during August.
The festival is renowned for staging shows in unusual venues; 2003's festival featured shows staged in a public toilet, a red Ford Escort, a lift and a stepladder [8].

 Adelaide Fringe: the necessity of re-invention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The focus, as the Fringe theme—”Necessity is the mother of invention”—indicates, is on innovation and newer artforms that have been marginal, experimental and sometimes underground.
For me, particularly coming from a background of the Adelaide Festival over the last few years, it’s great to clarify what the difference is. We are principally a service organisation to assist anybody who chooses to be part of the Fringe.
I do agree that increasingly fringe festivals—a lot of this has been economically driven—have tended to be more media friendly where you know you’re going to get coverage by focussing on the stars and increasingly they tend to be the easily tourable, comedy cabaret big ticket items.

 Fringe enhances Adelaide "brand": expert
The Adelaide Fringe Festival builds the Adelaide "brand" much better than the Formula One Grand Prix ever did, according to a leading marketing expert at the University of Adelaide.
Professor Pascale Quester, from the University's School of Commerce, says the Fringe does a much better job than events like the Grand Prix of encapsulating the spirit and sense of what Adelaide is about and, consequently that it builds a better relationship with consumers - and in turn, Fringe sponsors.

The Adelaide Fringe began as an irreverent offshoot of the biannual Adelaide Festival of Arts, but soon grew in scope, influence and popularity to the point where in 2006 it's hard to say which is the bigger drawcard.
The Fringe originally sought to absorb the various artistic endeavours considered too lowbrow for the Festival, and to an extent that's still true today: stand-up comedy remains an enormous part of the program, with several comedy mini-festivals being held at venues like the Rhino Room and the Belgian Beer Cafe.
It's also when Adelaide is set upon by hordes of buskers and street performers who will give it away for free (or, at most, for a few coins).

Imagine throwing a party – which is really what the Adelaide Fringe is, a three-week, marathon funfest – and more than 400 artists turn up to stage several times that many performances from comedy to cabaret, theatre, dance, music, and the visual arts.
Some quick comparisons with the last Fringe around artist registration time convinced her that that way lay madness – or at the very least, ulcers.
Artists because they must get themselves to Adelaide and put on a show (the Fringe is not a curated festival, like the Adelaide Festival it wraps around), and audiences because they must choose from a dazzling array of entertainment put on for the most part by artists they’ve never heard of.

So on one of Adelaide's hottest days on record Melbourne's three musical comedy act Man Bites God did well to get the audience they did, and despite the stifling on stage conditions, did brilliantly to keep up their level of enthusiasm throughout the show.
Without a doubt their level of musicianship was of an amazing standard all the way through, but being in such a large, hot and comparatively empty venue, unfortunately in their faster and more ballsier numbers words either seemed to become lost in the echoing mix, or simply dissipated into the hot thin air.
