Our coveted Awards Night caps off the 2023 Festival in style with a night of captivation, commiseration and celebration.

First we hand out the accolades and recognise the pure TALENT of Fringe artists. Then – we party.

We’ll roll out the red carpet (figuratively) and hoist up the disco ball as we celebrate the vibrant and bloody excellent community of Fringe artists who make it all happen. Our judges have been hard at work seeing hundreds of shows, we have tallied up the scores and ordered the trophies – now it’s time to announce the winners.

Once the formalities come to a close, it's time for artists and art lovers to shake out that Festival adrenalin with one last dance under the glistening mirror ball.

Drum rolls please...

    A close up shot of three people. You can only see their shoulders and the bottom halves of their faces and there are shadows across most of the image. On the far right, a person with red lipstick on has their tongue out, about to lick the face of the person in the middle. The person in the middle is wearing a striped navy and white shirt, and they have their face tilted up with a look of both pain and pleasure. On the far left, a person in a blue suit is whispering in the ear of the person in the centre. They also have their hand around the throat of the person in the centre.

    On the bottom left of the image there is a girl wearing a pink top who has black hair and glasses that is smiling. Standing behind her is a girl wearing a black singlet who has black hair in braids that is smiling and posed with her right arm out flexed showing off her muscles. She is piggybacking a boy who is wearing an unbuttoned green and white stripped button-down with a white t-shirt underneath and has a look of delighted shock on his face. On the right of those three people is a girl wearing an all white suit set and is leaning against the other people with her right elbow. She is looking away from them all with an unimpressed expression on her face.
