Heart of the Circus, Soul of a Showgirl. Burlesque Cabaret highlighting the feeling of the ReykjavÃk and New York variety scenes.
"Weird, Intimate, Wonderful." - TimeOut New York.
Comedy star of New York's downtown variety scene, the unstoppable Wilfredo hits town to present an all-star international spectacular.

Anna Ozerskaia (Sweden)
Two separate pieces in one event, with a short break in between, created by Anna Ozerskaia and featuring performers from GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
"Part One": This piece is a very personal and honest reflection on pandemic period. Originally performed for a single spectator only, it will now be shared with bigger audience.
"Me, Me and a Song": Two individualities, always back-to-back, negotiate their way through the space, committed to their limitation. Two minds, looking at the world from different perspectives, balancing between agreement and disagreement, but sharing the same story. Existing in here-and-now reality, this creature opens doors to our imagination. Or, maybe, those are just two words randomly put together in a song?
Sarah Richardson (UK)
In Katy’s office everything is perfect. Perfect people, intrinsically entwined, working together as one big happy family. There is only one problem. Her.
Cold, cutting and out of control, Katy is one team-building lunch away from tearing the whole office apart, personalised mugs and all.
She is heading straight for rock bottom, with a line of burnt bridges blazing behind her. But what sent her on this downward spiral? And is there anyone left that can stop her from the impending crash landing?
Sun Bear is a one-woman, dark comedy. Written and performed by Sarah Richardson using her signature style, mixing theatre and spoken word to tell electrically exciting and emotive stories.
Status Queer (Sweden)
On your knees, meat machine. Open your mouth. Get ready to be sucked deep into our tractor beam. All- the- way- to- the- oth-er- s-i- -d- - -e- - - - /¤*~§*****
Join us for our latest explosive out-of-this-world drag show ‘CULT of the extraterrestrials’.
In this juicy mouthful of radical queer culture, Gothenburg’s loudest, sauciest, and most sacrilegious drag collective CULT is joined by the beating blue heart of London’s alien underground herself: Bev.
Isa Bonachera (Spain)
Award-winning comedian Isa Bonachera is on a mission: to fill the world with awesome rock bands. In this rock-theme comedy hour, Isa will uncover the secret of rock music and try to turn everyone into leather-wearing rock stars.
Will she fill the world with twirling drumsticks and sick guitar riffs? Come and find out!
ReykjavÃk Fringe Funny Award Winner BBC New Comedy Award Finalist
'jokes and punchlines which really hit you with laughter' **** (Broadway Baby) 'a gift for the unexpected one-liner' **** (Three Weeks) 'thought-provoking and unapologetically dark' **** (Entertainment Focus)
Caged Together (Sweden)
Defence Ex Machina is an invitation to the coffee table banter of improvisers Daniel Malmqvist and Ricky LaBontee. In this show, the lines between actor and character are blurred as they weave seamlessly between heart-to-heart discussions, pop culture debate, and comedy stylings.
Their defence mechanisms propel them forward in a loosely narrative dive into the psyche of two friends seeking for truth in comedy and for the God in the machine.
Dan Zerin (Iceland)
Multiple award-winning comedian Dan Zerin brings a new version of his show "Squeak!" to Gothenburg Fringe 2023!
In "Squeak!", Dan delivers one hour of stand-up comedy covering his experiences with having Tourette Syndrome, Depression, traveling, therapy and more!

Get set for a frantic funny rollercoaster ride from the award-winning comedy magician KIZZA. Absurdly chaotic magical disasters, incredibly stupid mindreading routines and big big laughs guaranteed.
