Seems to be the flavour of the month, naked this, naked that, naked painting, reading, magic tricks, dancing and even dating! Covering (or not as the case may be) a wide range of motives and experiences, including; the novelty of being naked, sensuality, sex, humour, shock value or even being part of a naked audience, there is something for everyone!
Here are a few I discovered. Some seasons have finished, but you can follow them on social media or their websites to see when and where they will next appear.
The Naked Magicians
The show features magic, mirth and more than a touch of mayhem as these two hot and hilarious Aussie magicians say abracadabra and take magic to a whole new level.
This boisterous R-rated magic show strips away the top hats and capes, promising full-frontal illusions. Left without sleeves or pockets, their saucy magic is baffling and entertaining, bringing a new meaning to ‘now you see it’.
Good magicians don’t need sleeves and great magicians don’t need pants. This show proves just that!
Saw this two years in succession a few years ago and loved it – 5 stars

Naked Girls Reading
Naked Girls Reading is a group of beautiful ladies who love to read…naked. That’s really it. There’s not a whole lot more to it. Should there be? There’s something beautiful, something altogether more intimate, about a woman reading pretty much anything in her, well, altogether. Join burlesque bookworm Luna and a rotating cast of her naked friends for a different theme each night.

After Hours Cabaret Club
This one is not a ‘naked focussed’ show, however in true cabaret and burlesque style, this late night show has some titillating moments!
Welcome to the After Hours Cabaret Club. We’ve enough sass, charm and decadence to power a moonshine distillery… Where the hottest burlesque, cabaret, sideshow and circus stars let loose after working their glamorous shows all over town. It’s scandelously sophisticated, deliciously debauched and wildly unpredicatable!
Remember, anything goes After Hours…
Sam About Town 5 stars Adelaide Fringe 2018 – a few nights left at 10pm – highly recommend!

Puppetry of the Penis
A worldwide phenomenon, this one-of-a-kind show has played to most of the Western World including all around Europe, the US and South America.
To get to the nuts and bolts of it, be ready to see some Willies, Johnsons, Peter Peckers, if you will… aka: these guys will be performing in nothing but tennis shoes… and above all it’s really damn funny!
