SUMMARY:Monarchs Anonymous
DESCRIPTION:Monarchs Anonymous. What happens when you force Henry VIII\, Marie Antoinette\, and history’s most chaotic royals into group therapy? A hysterical historical mash-up where Kings clash\, therapy endures\, and laughter reigns supreme. \nThe Monarchs are not amused.

Can our long-suffering therapist\, Dr. Thompson\, stop the session from descending into chaos? \nPull up a throne and come face-to-face with the biggest egos of the last 600 years. They are unfit to rule\, unwilling to change\, and quite frankly\, a right royal pain in the past. \nAudiences are raving: “A riotous hoot! Like a history class with your favourite comedians!” “Hilarious\, emotive\, thought-provoking – a history lover’s dream!” “Funny\, original and plain bonkers!” \nJoin us for a royal appointment you won’t forget. No time machine required! \nNote: the show will run for 90 mins without an interval

SUMMARY:Therapist Zero @BrightonFringe
DESCRIPTION:Therapist Zero @BrightonFringe | After sold-out runs off-Broadway and at the San Francisco Fringe Festival\, award-winning filmmaker and performer Brian Leonard brings his acclaimed solo show Therapist Zero to the Brighton Fringe Festival for 2 shows. Therapist Zero is an unflinching\, darkly funny solo performance about raising a brilliant but troubled daughter and the endless revolving door of therapists who couldn’t help her. Written and performed by Leonard\, the piece traces a decades-long journey through misdiagnoses\, meltdowns\, and moments of unexpected grace. Along the way\, Leonard reflects on his own chaotic childhood: smoking by 2nd grade\, being left behind at age five for a family trip to Niagara Falls\, and how that upbringing shaped the parent he became.

SUMMARY:I Want To Speak To Your Manager (How I Was Radicalised And Became...Karen)

Running at award-winning The Actors Theatre\, I Want To Speak To Your Manager (How I Was Radicalised And Became…Karen) tells the true story of one woman’s fight for justice (i.e. refunds)\, one complaint email at a time. \nYou’ve heard this woman in a café\, complaining her extra-hot-skinny latté isn’t hot enough. You’ve seen her in a restaurant\, demanding dishes that aren’t on the menu. You’ve met her in the ALDI car park\, where her SUV takes up multiple spaces: the dreaded Karen. \nBut could you – down-to-earth\, humble\, people-pleasing – become her? Holly did. And she’s ready to speak her truth. \nThis debut one-woman-show from internationally-acclaimed slam poet and accidental keyboard warrior Holly Hughes is a bold\, hilarious and brutally honest interrogation of who gets to be angry in today’s society. After all\, what is so wrong with holding people accountable? When broligarch losers are destroying the world\, is being a Karen REALLY that bad? \nJoin the most hated woman on Google reviews to celebrate society’s unsung heroes (serial complainers). \nAfter a sell-out run at Dublin Fringe Festival\, Karen is ready for world domination. This is more than comedy. This is a movement. One complaint at a time.

SUMMARY:Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Chemistry | ★★★★★ hit comes to the Brighton Fringe: Witty and tender\, Chemistry is a life-affirming love story sparked in therapy. \nSteph’s battling chronic depression. Jamie’s crashed after pushing himself way too far\, way too fast. They meet in a psychiatrist’s waiting room – hardly the stuff that rom-coms are made of – but the spark is instant and undeniable. What follows is messy\, electric and unexpectedly beautiful. When your own brain feels like the enemy\, is falling in love the bravest thing you can do – or the most reckless? \nStudies show that 1 in 4 adults in England will experience a mental health problem each year. \nDarkly funny and deeply moving\, Jacob Marx Rice’s Chemistry is a frank exploration of how we manage love – and life – when we rely on chemicals to keep us balanced. \nMay 15 – 9 PM-10 PM\nMay 16 – 9 PM-10 PM\nMay 17 – 2 PM-3PM\nMay 18 – 9 PM-10 PM\nMay 19 – 9 PM- 10 PM\nMay 20 – 9 PM – 10 PM\nMay 21 – 7 PM – 8PM

SUMMARY:1816
DESCRIPTION:1816 – Hot on the heels of Camden Fringe and off-West End success\, 1816 returns to the stage. It’s Byron and Shelley\, as you’ve never seen them before. \nA Friends meets Frankenstein comedy-drama musical\, from the same company that launched SIX: 1816 is the ultimate origin story of the first modern vampire novel and Frankenstein\, where a group of five Romantics get trapped for a summer they’d rather forget in their storm-swept villa by Lake Geneva… \nTrapped indoors by torrential rain\, legendary writers Byron\, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends\, Polidori and Claire search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. Driven by a desire for escapism\, they challenge one another to create the best ghost story. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together. Polidori’s diary is brought to life in the 1816: The Year Without A Summer musical.

SUMMARY:Sock Party
DESCRIPTION:Sock Party | Great things are afoot…Tom and Marta arrive at a sock-themed party. They didn’t expect to meet. Marta is bold\, and Tom doesn’t know how to have a conversation with anyone\, but they end up understanding each other more than they could’ve anticipated. In a colourful expression of drama\, clowning\, original music and stop motion\, Sock Party is a playful journey through love and connection\, asking how as adults we manage to create new friends\, celebrate and play. Sock Party has been written and devised by Marta Fossati and Tom Bass\, the creative team that made Blip in 2025\, ‘a tender meditation on Intergenerational tensions’ (The Scotsman) which sold out Brighton Fringe 2025.

SUMMARY:Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past \nWhat really happened on the day Mulan laid down her sword? \nBound by the Wind: The Echoes of the Past returns to the legendary warrior at the moment history skips over — the night the war ends\, when victory no longer gives answers. \nAs Mulan confronts a captured enemy and the loyalty of those closest to her\, the play narrows its focus to a single turning point: a decision that will cost lives\, break faith\, and redefine what heroism truly demands. \nThis new version strips back the epic scale of previous productions to explore the human cost behind the myth — not the battles fought\, but the choice to stop fighting. \nBlending stylised stage combat\, physical storytelling\, and an immersive soundscape\, Bound by the Wind offers an intimate reimagining of a legendary figure caught between duty\, identity\, and freedom. \nCreated by a multicultural team of emerging artists\, the production invites audiences to witness the woman behind the war god — and the moment she chooses to leave.\nCast & Creative Team\nCREATIVES： \nDirector\, Writer\, Fight Director & Choreographer: Xinyue (Sammi) Xing\nProducer: Meiyu Guo (Katherine)\nStage Manager: Emily Xu \nDeputy Stage Manager/ Lighting Designer/ Photographer: Xiaoyu Hua (Tracy)\nSet Designer: Eizo Zhao\nSound Designer: Jiaye Wang\nAssociate Producer: Xinjie Zhou\nDramaturg: Ziwen Gong \nPresented by The Whisper Current Productions \nCAST: \nDorry Dong as Mulan\nShiwei Chen as Enkhtuyaa\nXinyue Xing (Sammi) (24 May)/ Yitong Fu (25 May) as Hailanda \nReviews\nAmbitiously reimagines the legend of Mulan as a simulation video game\, asking bold questions\n– A Young(ish) Perspective\n★★★1/2\nA highly creative take on an ancient story\, offering an original and intriguing interrogation\n– The Upcoming\n★★★\nA bold feminist reimagining of Mulan that blends mythology\, gaming\, and identity with striking image\n– All That Dazzles\n★★★1/2

SUMMARY:Babel Beast
DESCRIPTION:After 3 theatre festivals in London\, Babel Beast lands in Brighton Fringe! \nBabel Beast is an experimental cabaret made by and for mythical creatures of Ancient Greece\, through which Sofia Natoli explores her multiculturalism and lived experiences of (un)belonging in between cultural spaces – herself divided between Italy\, France and the UK.\nThis interdisciplinary array of cabaret acts – featuring burlesque\, stand-up\, lip sync and more – both spotlights the tragedies of Ancient monstresses and reveals what it means to be a hybrid woman today\, shape-shifting between cultures. \nWhether repurposing pop culture\, childhood nostalgia or mythic storytelling\, Babel Beast is “everything you could want from a cabaret” (London Pub Theatres). This captivating one-woman spectacle is familiar yet fresh\, energizing yet intimate\, and fundamentally “a love letter to speaking many languages” (audience response). \nIf you are a cabaret lover\, a Greek myth fanatic\, or someone who’s ever felt like an in-between\, then this show is for you! You are invited for a night of frightening and seductive\, strange and reflective encounters – and the Sphynx is waiting for you… \n“If you get the chance to take in this show then you should thank the Gods!” ★★★★ London Pub Theatres\n“Full of campness\, madness and is entirely interdisciplinary” ★★★★★ Phoebe Constantine\n“And understated but compelling story of isolation” COLD Magazine \nPresented by Kitchen Table Theatre (IG: @kitchentabletheatre)\nSofia Natoli – Performer\nLuna Laurenti & Al Hawkins – Co-directors\nMartina Bizzarri – Choreographer \nMore info on www.sofianatoli.com/babelbeast

SUMMARY:Jonny Woo: Suburbia
DESCRIPTION:Jonny Woo: Suburbia | Jonny Woo’s latest personal show\, Suburbia\, about his life from the suburbs of Kent to the queer scene in London and the sex clubs of New York received rave reviews and the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence at The Edinburgh Fringe\, 2025. Blending story-telling\, drag\, song\, spoken word and burlesque\, this is easily his most revealing show yet\, in more ways than one. \nNow in his fifties\, Jonny reflects back at the people and moments that made him the man and the performer he is today. He grew up in The Medway Towns and found drugs and the club scene in the early 1990’s before exploring his drag alter ego in NYC at the turn of the Millennium. Memories of his first sexual experience and his first “drag” inspiration echo like ghosts throughout and amongst the wild confessions he confronts his fears and triumphs in this unique coming of age story. The presence of a mysterious suburban “cross-dresser” permeates his narrative in a show which is as much a feast for the eyes as for the soul.
