Denise Scott Makes Her Adelaide Return As Part of Adelaide Fringe 2027

Adelaide Fringe 2027 might still be six months away, but the first big-name artist making up the program has been revealed, with legendary Aussie comic Denise Scott performing in The Garden of Unearthly Delights as part of next year's festival.

Having recently taken to the stage for the first time in over a decade, Scott is bringing her new show Tickety Boo to the Fringe for one week only, from Tuesday 2 to Sunday 7 March 2027.

"I'm absolutely loving performing Tickety Boo," Scott says. "No matter that I spent so long crafting a script, every single show heads off into unknown places that makes it both dangerous and joyful for me to perform – and dare I say the audience to watch. A career dream come true!"

Capturing Scott at her authentic best, her new stand-up show blends her trademark observational comedy with relatable, real-life experiences.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now at gardenofunearthlydelights.com.au.
