The image shows two performers on stage holding microphones, seemingly in the middle of a comedic or spoken performance. The performer on the left wears a short, light brown wig and a chunky blue cable-knit sweater, looking serious or contemplative. The performer on the right has a wild, messy dark wig, glasses, and is wearing a colorful, loose-fitting top that fades from blue to orange with white pants. Both have one hand on their hips and appear to be playing exaggerated characters. The lighting gives off a dramatic, stage-performance vibe.

WELCOME BACK TO TRADES HALL HIGH!

It's 1994 and new Vice Principals Barb and Jan (the multi-award winning Hannah Camilleri and Nat Harris) are trying to give the graduating class the perfect send off... but government agents in black roam the crowd and there are whispers of an alien experiment gone wrong. Will the students of Trades Hall High be able to stave off the extraterrestrial presence lurking in the darkness? Either way, it's gonna be the night of our lives!

Returning after last year's sold out smash hit, the Fringe Formal Organising Committee are bringing back a fresh lineup of Melbourne's best character comedians for another night of chaos. Come dressed in your 90s best, soak up the atmosphere and get Formal pictures at our photobooth.
