CHAOS. TRANSCENDENCE. SWEATY, JELLY-SOAKED ENLIGHTENMENT.
Come together for an hour of primal mayhem and spiritual absurdity, where deep breathing collides with WWE smackdowns, and Fringe’s wildest acts deliver your most profound life lessons.
Guided by Tasmanian multi-talent Jem Nicholas—your suspect head guru—this genre-defying spectacle teleports you into embodiment, chanting, and full-throttle jelly wrestling showdowns featuring Matt Hayter & Jett Armstrong from Riot City Wrestling. Each night, a surprise lineup of Fringe’s finest musicians, comedians, and artists take your hand and guide you further into the portal. You can only expect ecstasy, existential crisis, sticky, sweaty liberation… oh, and enlightenment in less than 55 minutes.
Surrender to Australian hedonism and spiritual hypocrisy—your awakening could be four pints deep.
“The only show where you can achieve inner peace and watch a jelly wrestling smackdown in the same hour.”
“I left reborn. And covered in jelly.”
LIMITED SPACE. UNLIMITED ENLIGHTENMENT. BOOK NOW!
Commissioned by Junction Arts Festival. Supported by Regional Arts Tasmania. Made on the stolen lands of the Palawa peoples.

Reviews
Binge Fringe
“Standing Room Only is pretty damn weird. I had a divine time... The more energy you give this show, the more you'll get out of it.”
Finding Adelaide
“If you love absurdity, Standing Room Only is a must-see. This chaotic, genre-bending spectacle blends spiritual rituals, wrestling showdowns, and jelly-soaked mayhem into pure Fringe madness. Led by Jem Nicholas, with surprise guest acts, it’s messy, bizarre, and completely liberating. Expect deep breathing, existential crises, and a whole lot of chaos. Surrender to the weird, you won’t regret it!”
