House of Oz Edinburgh Festival Fringe

House of Oz has unveiled its 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe season, reaffirming its role as “an essential stop on any Fringe-goer’s itinerary”. As a vital platform for Australian talent, the organisation continues to solidify its reputation as a creative powerhouse, connecting bold, distinctive voices with global audiences and the international industry. This year’s program reflects the sheer ambition of Australia’s creative output, spanning everything from contemporary circus and physical theatre to comedy, drama, music and immersive experiences.

Highlights 

Concerts of the Future: From The Sonicrats and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Concerts of the Future is a cutting-edge VR experience that invites audiences to perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as a playing member of a world-class orchestra with no musical experience required.

Glass Child: Powerful and deeply moving, sharing the real-life bond between siblings Kayah, a young man with Down’s syndrome, and his sister Maitreyah.

DADDY: Creating a candy-coloured world, acclaimed Aboriginal choreographer, Joel Bray explores a longing for his father and a lost mother tongue. Playfully seducing the room with a drizzle of longing while prodding the deep cavities of colonisation.

BIRDS: Shayna, a wealthy five time divorcee and Beverley, a mother of twelve boys, have come to the beach to escape their lives. Come for the tan, stay for the end of days. Kath and Kim meets Waiting for Godot with a laugh a line.

The Listies: A family Fringe favourite comedy disaster movie about the morning routine. Expect a poop-load of puns, slapstick, a splash of improvisational idiocy and the Snot Ness Monster!

Ten Thousand Hours: Gravity & Other Myths bring back their universally adored international hit, an exhilarating ode to dedication and mastery.

Fuccbois: Live in Concert: Four female performers as drag ‘princes’ deliver a sharp masterclass in boy band toxicity.

How Not to Make It in America: A powerful solo work set in 2001 by Emily Steel, following a young Australian actor in New York whose dreams unravel after 9/11.
