SHOWCASE of SHORTS!

Darwin Fringe Festival 2023

In July 2023, Big Dog Salad returned to Darwin Fringe Festival to present a Showcase of Short plays!

A smorgasbord of fun, a smattering of excitement and a sprinkle of satire, these plays featured aliens, friendship, libraries, therapy... and more!


This show went on to win the Super Producer Award.


This project was made possible by the Australian Governments Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.

Adelaide Fringe Festival 2023

In 2023, Big Dog Salad brought their first ever sketch show back to the world for the Adelaide Fringe! 

Big Dog Salad LIVE is the definitive Big Dog Salad show - an hysterical hour of fast-paced comedy with some great sketches! 

Thank you to the Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund, the Donor’s Circle and everyone at Adelaide Fringe for making this appearance possible! Especially Shakti, Lynton, The Garage International, and Crack Kitchen!



Big Dog Salad is a team of six creatives (Iona Francis, Jack Macmillan, Kostantine Hatzivalsamis, Michael van Berkel, Pip O'Shea, and Sean Guy) based in Darwin, working together to bring content to the world. Our focus is on surreal sketch comedies such as happy ghosts, interdimensional pizza thieves, calendars with weekends sold separately, and Men in Bins. We also sometimes do a podcast, and sell-out live performances, and make short films for international film festivals.
