As my all-time favourite season rolls around, it marks the third year that The Iconic Blonde (and our writing team) are invited back as official media reviewers for the Adelaide Fringe.
To help you sift through the abundance of choice available to us in 2019, I've put together my top shows that you NEED to see this year!
THE ICONIC BLONDE'S TOP FRINGE PICKS!
Ashy Rose: Confetti (Pretty, but a bit of a mess)
Feel like a giant mess? Not got your sh*t together? It's an unhealthy obsession with drag queens, alcohol and being such a perfectionist that nothing is done right, so you do nothing.
Adelaide born star of 'The Desperettes', Ashy Rose, returns to Fringe for her debut solo show, 'Confetti', for anyone who feels like they have no idea what they're doing.

FORTIFIED (starring Amity Dry)
This is a war story. But there are no guns and ammo, just angry words and hurt pride. It's a story about blowing up your life and starting again. About divorce, love, loss and discovering a strength you never knew you had. This is Amity at her most raw and heartfelt and if you loved her smash hit '39 Forever' it is not to be missed.
Nikki Osborne - Bad Barbie
The world is rooted and Bad Barbie isn't afraid to tell you why. Amidst multiple truth bombs and wardrobe changes, Bad Barbie lets rip on all the other Barbies....and Ken.
Baby Got Back: Size Queens
Dubbed "an uninhibited celebration of woman", Baby Got Back are fast becoming Fringe circuit favourites. A show of flesh, s*x, profanity & comedy chaos, this all-girl cast will take you on an exploration of the female form in all its glory. Smashing down the paradigms of womanhood, BGB is equal parts striptease, comedy and socio-political experiment.
Talk dirty and stay classy with French swearing and flirting classes. All tickets include a beverage from the bar. Wednesday nights is our French Swearing class: Enjoy an hour of laughs and learning as we teach you all the rude words to say for any situation.
Unleash your inner queen! Queen's wild guitar dances across gender and sexual politics in an audience-empowering ride. A fierce, dark tour de force that delves into how we are all judged by our sexuality, embracing everything from Mary Magdalene to RuPaul via a Strippers Book Club.
