AdeLOL - Adelaide & SA's Hilarious History

Our second live show of the 2019 Adelaide Fringe, recorded at the Crown and Sceptre, and featuring the incredible true story of Alex Innocenti. Alex was a pioneer on the World fashion stage, and one of Australia's greatest music promoters during the 1960s and 70s. In 1971 he put together the Myponga Pop Festival, remembered to this very day as 'Australia's Woodstock'. The festival featured the likes of Daddy Kool, Spectrum and Black Sabath, just to name a few. 

This is one wild ride into the life and times of one of Adelaide's coolest ever cats. 

(Please note, the audio is a little patchy at the start of the episode but improves dramatically after a few minutes. Stick with it). 

Our final show of the Adelaide Fringe is on Saturday 16th March. It's totally SOLD OUT so If you managed to get a ticket, we'll see you there.

Recorded Live at the Crown and Sceptre, 2019 Adelaide Fringe, Thursday 21st February.

The story of a politically incorrect chubster with an orange face, who, against all the odds, would go on to become the most powerful man in the World... also Donald Trump gets a mention. 

This episode was recorded LIVE at the Crown and Sceptre, during our first show of the 2019 Adelaide Fringe. A big shout out to everyone in who came out to see and support us.

Smoking KILLS! Petrol is flammable, and if you happen to live in Mount Gambier, please don't run as out of town at the end of a pitchfork next time we come to visit your beautiful blue lake.

A curious story from 1871, involving the beloved Clipper Ship - City of Adelaide, a disgruntled passenger, and a curious Bovinae.

#AdeLoL #HeapsGoodHistory #ClipperShip #CityofAdelaide#ComedyPodcast #HistoryPodcast

The Clipper Ship City of Adelaide is the world's oldest clipper ship. Built in Sunderland, England, by William Pile, Hay and co. and launched on 7 May 1864. It now resides at the docks of Port Adelaide where it is currently being displayed and painstakingly restored by a troop of incredible volunteers. 

The ship has had an fascinating, and at times hilarious, life. She made 23 return journeys between Plymouth and Adelaide during the mid 19th Century before serving as a naval training vessel and hospital ship during the two world wars. She is South Australia's very own Mayflower, and essential viewing for anyone with an interest in the history of our great state.

In this cheeky little Giggleaide we take a trip out of the State's capital city and travel a few hours north to the coastal town of Port Augusta, where they've recently been experiencing a few problems at their local wharf... 500 to be exact. 

It promises to be a trolley full of lols.

A little Giggleaide from recent South Australia history which reminds us all of the importance of doing a robust cost assessment. 

Remember folks: If you can't run a WokInABox, you probably shouldn't have a go at building any tram networks.

In this AdeLOL we explore the colourful past of Adelaide's early Mayors. From James Hurtle Fisher, Sir Edwin Smith, and of course, John "Bugger" Hall, we explore their hilarious, and sometimes tragic, times as Mayor of Adelaide.

A big thanks to the past Lord Mayor of Adelaide Martin Haese for his input, the great work he has done for our city, and an expired YouthWorks discount card.

Our 2019 Adelaide Fringe shows have been announced, you can see the dates and get tickets here. We are playing a slightly smaller venue than last time and believe that these shows will sell out, so please get in early if you want to see us.

With Christmas fast approaching we decided to take a look at the story of William Williamson (yes, that's a real name). Who was flung in prison during Christmas of 1845 for the theft of his neighbours Christmas dinner. 

Believe us when we tell you that the goose wasn't the only thing that was cooked in this tale.
