The annual Nelson Fringe boasts a magnificent line-up of more than 50 live shows including alternative theatre, comedy, dance, music, improv, cabaret and oh so much more. This is life on the edge – it’s stories and laughs and music that is happening right now with astronomically talented performers from Top of the South, across New Zealand and around the world! Fringe is about cheap tickets in small venues. It’s your chance to get fringey.

We'll announce the 2027 programme in late January.
