    The Actors 4 Prince's Street, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom

    I Want To Speak To Your Manager (How I Was Radicalised And Became...Karen) | After a sold-out run at Dublin Fringe Festival in 2025, acclaimed performer and accidental keyboard warrior Holly Hughes brings her bold and hilarious one-woman show to Brighton Fringe Festival on May 14 and May 15. 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. You’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. But could you – down-to-earth, humble, people-pleasing – become her? Holly did. And she’s ready to speak her truth. This 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 […]

  • Chemistry

    Chemistry

    The Lantern Theatre 77 St James Street, Brighton, East Susses, United Kingdom

    Chemistry | ★★★★★ hit comes to the Brighton Fringe: Witty and tender, Chemistry is a life-affirming love story sparked in therapy. Steph’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? Studies show that 1 in 4 adults in England will experience a mental health problem each year. Darkly 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. May 15 - 9 PM-10 PM May 16 - 9 PM-10 PM May 17 - 2 PM-3PM May 18 - 9 PM-10 PM May 19 - 9 PM- 10 PM May 20 - 9 PM - 10 PM May 21 - 7 PM - 8PM

    The Lantern Theatre 77 St James Street, Brighton, East Susses, United Kingdom

    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. A 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... Trapped 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.

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.

  • Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past

    Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past

    The Rotunda Theatre: Bubble Regency Square, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom

    Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past What really happened on the day Mulan laid down her sword? Bound 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. As 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. This 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. Blending 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. Created 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. Cast & Creative Team CREATIVES： Director, Writer, Fight Director & Choreographer: Xinyue (Sammi) Xing Producer: Meiyu Guo (Katherine) Stage Manager: Emily Xu Deputy Stage Manager/ […]

  • Babel Beast

    The Actors 4 Prince's Street, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom

    After 3 theatre festivals in London, Babel Beast lands in Brighton Fringe! Babel 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. This 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. Whether 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). If 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... “If you get the chance to take in this show then you should thank the Gods!” ★★★★ London Pub Theatres “Full of […]

  • Jonny Woo: Suburbia

    Jonny Woo: Suburbia

    Ironworks Studios 30 Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom

    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. Now 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.

    Ironworks Studios 30 Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom

    Frankie Fann's Double Feature | Frankie is hosting once again, and as ever, the mansion doors are open to a most extravagant affair, only this time there's a new addition to the guest list. Or rather... several. Having decided it's finally time to settle down with a pet, Frankie has taken it upon themselves to try out a few options. After all, how hard can it be to find the perfect companion? From the well-behaved to the wildly unpredictable, the mansion will play host to a parade of potential pets, each more questionable than the last. Naturally, our ever-faithful Riley Rex is on hand to keep things running smoothly, mopping up spills, smoothing over guestly concerns, and tackling the rather unexpected messes left in the wake of Frankie's latest endeavour. To keep spirits high (and distractions plentiful), Frankie has enlisted the surrealist nightmare Mandy Sweats and the Japanese hula hoop performer Pika Hoop to dazzle and delight throughout the evening. Expect mischief, mayhem, and more than a few surprises, because while Frankie searches for the perfect pet, trouble is already in motion far beyond the mansion walls... something unseen, far away, yet still watching, still waiting, and still nursing a […]
