IKEA WARS - Sydney Comedy Festival
Wednesday 7 May 2025 from 9:30pm to 10:30pm Friday 8 May from 9:30pm to 10:30pm
After lighting up the Perth, Adelaide, and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals in 2025, it's time for the cult festival favourite to hit the harbour city! Sydney, it's time to enter the flatpack thunderdome!
IKEA WARS is a high-octane comedy game show pitting two comeidans against each other in the ultimate home improvement indignity: building IKEA furniture in front of a live audience.
The challenge is simple: build the piece of furniture before your opponent does. Is it a race? Yes! Is it a game show? Also yes! A plethora of chaotic sabotages are on hand to ensure that the road to glory is paved with pitfalls!
Build the furniture. Survive the sabotages. Be crowned the Champion of Sweden!*

"Who knew you could get so engrossed, anxious, agitated, in watching IKEA furniture being built!" Fringefeed, 2025
Let's build!
