News and Reviews for this Show

August 19, 2025  Edinburgh Reviews I’ll be completely honest from the outset – I don’t know who enjoyed the show more, me or my toddler! Bubba-licious had everything we were looking for in a kid-friendly Fringe show; singing, dancing, puppets and of course, BUBBLES! Background Kat and Matt Grey have been avid long time lovers of both the Edinburgh and their hometown Adelaide fringe for years and when they became parents 8 years ago they were keen to include their baby in fringe fun. BUT…. No baby-focused shows existed! So they made the show they wanted their kid to see and for the past few years have been sharing this wonderful-ness with other littles in the free fringe. What to expect Located in the cosy room inside the Pear Tree, prepare to be warm and involved not only with the show itself but those around you. The vibe of the show is very much ‘we’re all pals having a play’ which is exactly what you want from a kids fringe show, especially if your child is just wee because let me tell you from experience, the fringe is a daunting experience for new/ first time parents/ parents of an under 2! It’s mainly floor seating which gives a relaxed and familiar feel and allows you really to get up close and involved with the show and shut out the busy city for a little while. The show begins with a very lovely aboriginal welcome song complete with sings which is very cute, interactive and inclusive. It then heads on a very fun journey through songs well known and new as well as a cast of familiar characters including a nod to my sons about in the world – the very hungry caterpillar. Interactive family fun There’s shadow puppets and lots of sensory fun and stimulation with different lighting and encouraging of the kids to dance and sing along. Our favourite section of the show was the under the sea themed part with the silky clothes flowing out over the audience and the main event… GIANT BUBBLES. You’ve never known total happiness until you’ve seen 20+ under 5s captivated by a mix of giant and tiny bubbles and told they can run wild to their hearts content. I do have to include a trigger warning though – Baby Shark is played and will then be stuck in you/ your child’s head the rest of the day. Finishing off with a massive Bluey-themed balloon game (I’ll let you guess which one) you’re off on your way with a souvenir balloon to take home which is a huge bonus for entertaining littles while navigating back through the busy streets. Overall This is the perfect first fringe show for any tiny ones and an excellent morning out for any under 5 who loves singing, fun lights and interactive play. Kat and Matt clearly know exactly what littles (and their parents) want and there’s zero pressure to have your kids be anything other than themselves even if they decide they want to run off or that they want to be super involved… or even go for a cheeky nap as I saw one super relaxed baby doing. Being included within the free fringe too makes it very inclusive and accessible to anyone looking for a fun activity for their kids during the fringe. Click Here
