Thursday 12 Feb and Friday 13 Feb
What if your whole life was built on not moving an inch? Stranded on a WWII landmine, Francis Molloy built a life, family, and reality TV show without ever moving. Now, his 1950s studio set has landed in Perth for a darkly comic live taping. How to Stay Married Without Exploding! is a solo show about performativity, nostalgia, and what happens when the bubble that you’re living in bursts.
Part stand-up show, part live theatre, How to Stay Married Without Exploding! transports this year’s FRINGE WORLD audience into the live studio audience of Francis’ home (BYO sandbags). Sneak a glimpse into Francis Molloy’s grounded lifestyle, how he and his wife tiptoe around the more loaded parts of their relationship, and what things that make him tick, tick, tick
…please note, minors can only attend this show at this venue with a parent or legal guardian. 15+ Rec.

After touring her sell-out show 40+Fabulous and hearing from women nationwide, Emma Krause couldn’t help but wonder… why are we still sucking it all in.. our bodies, our ambitions.. our burnout?
Welcome to Spanx and the City — a cocktail of perimenopause, a dash of raising teenagers, and a splash of pressure to keep it cute, calm, and composed (preferably in Lycra).
Between sips, Emma’s tried adult netball (never again), as her smug friend Jenny enters her protein + CrossFit era. Meanwhile, Emma’s been dating again — aka nodding through conversations about ribs, Joe Rogan, and jetskis.
Journal entry #42 “Grateful my air fryer can validate my feelings.”
Think Sex and the City meets Stress in the Suburbs — just no sex, no stilettos, and a desire to be on the couch.. alone.. in trackies.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no eating during performances. Doors open 30 mins before the show starts.
Don’t forget to book a table in another part of the venue before the show if you would like dinner beforehand (if attending How to Stay Married Without Exploding, you may also eat after the show because the kitchen closes at 9pm).
