FRITZ by Emilie Bloom & Clare Bartholomew

Next date: Tuesday, 08 April 2025 | 10:00 AM to 10:50 AM

A person dressed in a rabbit costume holds out a fan of large playing cards.

Presented by Darebin Arts, as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Step into the charming and comical universe of FRITZ, an eccentric and lovable magician rabbit. 

Magic, mayhem, and many things gone wrong as Fritz earnestly strives to recreate the mesmerising magic tricks of their suddenly vanished Magician Master, Madame Magica. 

FRITZ is a nonstop, high-energy 50-minute roller coaster ride of the ridiculous. Fuelled by slapstick, object puppetry and clowning, this heartwarming story is entertainment from start to finish for the whole family. 

Performed by Emilie Bloom and skilfully directed by Die Roten Punkte's multi-award-winning Clare Bartholomew
