Creative Juices is Adelaide Fringe’s wild, interactive art party on tour, and it’s coming to venues all across the state! The show is set to splash some colour and creativity across the state, delivering a hilariously imaginative Fringe experience right to your doorstep. This isn’t your ordinary night out; it’s an explosion of art, comedy, and mischief where you’re part of the show. You don’t want to miss this wildly interactive, creatively freeing ride.
Creative Juices is a highly interactive show inviting audiences to create their own artwork inspired by 90s and naughties kids art TV shows like Art Attack and Playschool. The show is a unique comedy, with your brilliant hosts bringing your art to life as you create it.
From the mind behind the multi-award-winning circus and comedy hit Moist, Timothy Christopher Ryan returns with a whole new playground of artistic mayhem. Forget sitting quietly in the dark – here, you’ll grab a brush, dive into the action, and unleash your inner child (or demon). Expect a cheeky spin on beloved childhood art experiences with a grown-up twist that’s just the right mix of naughty and nostalgic.
Imagine this: An adult take on the iconic Playschool windows, where you craft self-portraits with dry noodles and unleash your childhood creativity! Paint cheeky life drawings and use light up UV body paint on your hosts for a dash of neon mischief. Create ‘judgement monsters’ together, where you let go of perfection and embrace every messy, marvellous moment.
And the best part? No art experience is necessary. In fact, the less you know, the more fun you’ll have. The messier, the better!
Here’s why this show will make your heart sing: imagine the kind of belly laughs that leave your cheeks sore and a whole room of strangers turned into friends through shared creativity and silliness. It’s perfect for date nights or friend groups looking to shake things up, this is an art class where the wine flows, the rules disappear, and masterpieces, destined for the fridge, are born. Audiences are already raving about how Creative Juices encourages nostalgic play, breaks down judgment, and unleashes pure, unfiltered joy.
If you’ve ever spent Sunday mornings glued to kids’ art shows, getting inspired by the messy magic and unfiltered glee, Creative Juices will feel like a homecoming. But this time, there’s a deliciously adult edge. Think of it as finger painting meets comedy night, with a glow-in-the-dark twist.
Thanks to the Adelaide Fringe regional touring fund, Creative Juices isn’t just confined to the city. It’s hitting the road, spreading its playful chaos far and wide. Towns across South Australia will host this riotous, laughter-filled night that turns art into a communal celebration.
