Mafia The Game: The Show

Australia

The Mafia have taken over our town! No one is safe. Civilians are dying every night and we're running out of time. Six comedians have been recruited to uncover the cold-blooded killers and bring them to justice. However, we've just been informed that the Mafia have infiltrated the investigation – there are moles among the six, silencing our comic detectives one by one.

It's kill or be killed as the Fringe cult hit makes its Comedy Festival debut in a strictly limited season.

Pitting a rotating cast of the Festival's funniest against each other, they must bullshit their way to survival and uncover the traitor among them.

Come watch the hit role-playing game come to life in an hilarious live show filled with as many laughs as there are lives! Who will survive? Only one way to find out! Six shows only.

'One of the most enjoyable things about Fringe.' The Age

Accessibility

The main entrance is via Swanston Street through the main portico doors. Ascend the main staircase - approx 20 carpeted stairs with handrails on either side. Once at the top, turn left and travel approx 20m down the corridor. The performance space is on the right-hand side.

For step-free/wheelchair access, enter through the doorway on Swanston Street, to the left of the main staircase. Take the ramp and turn right to follow the corridor towards the lifts (if you reach the Lower Town Hall lobby, you have gone too far). There is lift access to the first floor, where you can exit to go through the large gilded bronze doors. Turn right down the corridor to reach the performance space.

Bag searches are required as a condition of entry. Patrons are discouraged from bringing bags or items that are too large to fit under a seat to events. No outside food or drink is permitted into the venue, other than water or for medical reasons. There is no storage or cloaking space available.
