The Festival Club is the heart of the Festival and the perfect place to go after enjoying other Fringe shows. Find your way down one of Dunedin’s best alleyways and mix it up with Festival artists, crew, supporters and audiences at this subterranean venue. Each evening will feature talented local musicians and DJs, guest comedians, and a nightly episode of Doom Gravy: A Radio Disaster in Six Parts.

John White, of pop bands Mëstar and The Blueness, is a fairytale storyteller of the spooky and magnificent. Think of shimmering trees, fireflies and babbling brooks.
