Showmen Productions announced plans to bring more than 20 shows to Fringe World 2025 in Perth. The Melbourne-based company named four productions: CIRCUS, The Greatest Magic Show, Kaboom and the Adults Only Magic Show. PerthNow reported the lineup on January 4, 2025; its announcement described planned performances, not a confirmed record of what ultimately took place.
What Showmen Productions announced for Fringe World 2025
PerthNow reported that Showmen Productions, co-founded by Sam Hume and Justin Williams in 2020, was returning to Perth with more than 20 shows. The story described the company’s first stop of the year as Perth and said local comedian Magnus “Danger” Magnus would join Hume and Williams.
The article named four productions from the planned program. It did not provide a complete schedule or confirm that every planned performance went ahead.

What the announcement does not establish
The PerthNow story does not give ticket prices, the full schedule of dates and venues, attendance figures or audience reception. It also does not confirm which planned performances ultimately took place. The official Fringe World website is current festival information, not evidence of ticket availability for the completed 2025 events; its homepage identifies the next festival as January 20–February 14, 2027.
