South Side Festival - Adults Only edition

It’s time to heat things up a little.

This is the go to guide for South Side Festival adults only edition. From comedy to cabaret, drag to disco, live music and sassy performers, a night out in Frankston just got a touch more bold. 

So grab a crew, it’s time for some cheeky fun, something a little different and of course and a splash of saucy bravado.

Scratch Arts - Moist
Very camp and very entertaining. This racy and hilarious spectacle is sopping wet as it takes you deep into a disco-fuelled dystopia. It is four absolute limbo thirst-traps getting soaking wet as they navigate epic circus feats and non-stop clowning.

Eat My Cake
What happens when 18th Century France and 21st Century Social Media Culture are smashed together?  Follow Marie Antoinette, famous French royalty and social media influencer (of course!), as she traverses the twists and turns through love, lust, censorship, narcissism, and vulnerability. This is an unrestrained comedy with a dark twist.. And yes, there will be cake.
