Jellyfish 🫧 │ Melbourne Fringe 2026

Blip blop, blip blop, blip blop.
Jellyfish is the tale of one small creature with absolutely no brain to speak of. Embark on an underwater adventure and experience the wonders of the reef with an optimistic, gelatinous being. This is comedy at its most bioluminescent, undulating, and... squishy. Are you ready for this jelly?
Be careful, she stings.
Cherese Sonkkila is a clown(fish) from Naarm/Melbourne, and this is her sophomore show. After her fruit-themed debut, she’s bringing back her high-whimsy, absurd character comedy. But this time – it’s aquatic.
