First up - prolific Queensland artists and Co-Artistic Directors of @poly.toxic : @lisafaalafi & @leahsheltonlive 🎭🔥
What if we all had a regular chat about the arts and business? The walking contradiction and codependency of money and creativity? I’m a huge fan of @lisafaalafi and @leahsheltonlive from @poly.toxic . Groundbreaking QLD artists and community builders. @qldfringe will post the full yarn later in the week. Flick us a message if there’s anything in this space you want to chat about or understand - cause we have QUESTIONS! It’s always great hanging out at @jaggerrockystudios 🎙️🎭🎉

Announcing our Toowoomba Headliner: Jim Jefferies!
@jimjefferies has sold out theatres and arenas across the Americas and Europe, and now the infamously provocative comedian joins the @qldfringe trail to bring his 'Son of a Carpenter' tour to that carpenter's home soil.
Jim headlines the @empire_theatre Toowoomba leg of the fringe, joined by genre-defying music powerhouse @sueraymusic and a slew of local and national acts to be announced over the coming weeks.

Building on its success as one of the state's most exciting cultural events, the team behind @wynnumfringe is launching Queensland Fringe, with state-wide ambition. First up: The Wild West! A new arts celebration delivering a high-quality fringe program west of the capital from 1-7 August 2026.
The inaugural Queensland Fringe trail will journey through Augathella, Charleville, Roma and Toowoomba, connecting local and travelling audiences with world-class live performance and vibrant festival experiences along the way.
From intimate pop-up shows in outback pubs to a major two-day festival hub at Toowoomba's historic @empire_theatre , Queensland Fringe will showcase comedy, music, burlesque, circus and more.
Expressions of interest are now open for artists and partners looking to help build Queensland's newest celebration of the arts. Visit qldfringe.com.
