THE Newcastle Fringe Festival has become the most popular regional fringe event in Australia since it was first staged in 2016, so it's not surprising that this year's fringe will have a record 53 shows.
The 2023 festival will be presented between March 9 and 19, with most performances on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And there will be a broad range of events - comedy, theatre, children's theatre, music, dance, cabaret, burlesque, spoken word, performance art and circus.
