Big Dog Salad is a team of creatives working together to bring exciting new ideas to stage and screen. Based in Darwin, NT. 

DARWIN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023

Third time in a row baby!

Big Dog Salad presents a Showcase of Short plays.

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

After a sketch comedy show and a murder-myster narrative, it’s time to switch things up again with a multiple course meal of short theatre works.
“We write stuff all the time,” said Jack, “but don’t get a chance to show it to the public. It makes me physically ill. So I'm glad we are finally doing this for Darwin Fringe 2023.” It’s basically like an extension of the Fresh Ink script-readings but now the actors are off-script.

Also we are in the big theatre this year AAAAA!!! 

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

Big dog salad live - darwin fringe festival 2021

In 2021, Big Dog Salad went LIVE at Darwin Fringe Festival! 

This one-hour comedy extravaganza full of offbeat comedy was a sell-out success, full of skits about existential pizza guys, similes disguised as metaphors, devastating break-ups with inanimate partners, and a Wimbly-Timbly murder mystery!
