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: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:The Covetousness
DESCRIPTION:The Covetousness is a rare treasure of Kunqu (Chinese Opera)\, revived from a little-performed scene in The Nanke Dream\, one of the most celebrated classical plays of the Ming dynasty. Nearly lost to time\, the piece survived only through fragmentary manuscripts and scattered oral accounts. Our team spent months researching surviving scores and archival traces to reconstruct the work with rigorous historical care and reimagine it with a vivid contemporary theatrical language. Following its 2025 appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, this revival continues its international tour. \nSet in a dreamlike world where loyalty collides with destiny\, the story unfolds through striking physical movement\, expressive gesture and rich musicality. Performed by a Huadan (female warrior role) and Hualian (painted-face male role)\, it presents an unusual and compelling pairing seldom seen in today’s Chinese opera. \nPerformed in a traditional Chinese operatic vocal style with Chinese and English surtitles\, the piece blends traditional operatic singing with clear\, modern staging. Whether you are discovering Chinese opera for the first time or returning as a long-time admirer\, this is a visually captivating and accessible introduction to one of the world’s most refined dramatic traditions.

SUMMARY:Ctrl+Alt+Jazz presents Toast Club
DESCRIPTION:Ctrl+Alt+Jazz presents Toast Club is the new promotions label started by Brighton jazz-rock band Meet Your Heroes. It was created to build a community of bands and artists pushing the jazz genre to its heavier fringes. Following the raucous C+A+J debut in London in April\, the fusion train rolls forth to The Bee’s Mouth in Hove on Thursday 14th May 2026\, as part of the Alt Alt Escape festival. \nOpening the show is Very Tiny Toads\, the Brighton supergroup made up of Josephine Davies\, Tim Wells and Angus Bishop. Second\, Big Trio bless the stage – the relentless local quartet you’ve probably seen performing their brand of ‘jazz your friends like’. Third will be hosts Meet Your Heroes\, a guitar trio fervently fusing math-rock and jazz. Finally we will witness Toast Club – the jazz-fusion aviators serving up breezy bangers\, including their runaway hit Café Pacific. \nThis is a free-entry event in the DIY spirit of the Alt Alt Escape. Don’t miss this epic lineup from Ctrl+Alt+Jazz.

You will then explore signature movements from different role types\, from the refined grace of the dan roles to the bold physicality of the hualian. Every gesture carries rhythm; every step holds a story. \nPerfect for newcomers and curious learners\, the workshop offers a gentle\, engaging introduction to one of the world’s oldest performance traditions. All instruction is delivered in English\, with hands-on participation throughout.

SUMMARY:The Ocelots
DESCRIPTION:Folklore Sessions Presents; The Ocelots\n+ Support\n17th May 2026\, The Folklore Rooms\n£14adv | 18+ \n“Everything\, When Said Slowly is a joy to listen to-a haunting and majestic album” – KLOF \n“Steeped in classic singer-songwriter Americana\, invoking everyone from vintage Neil Young to Sufjan Stevens. ” – UNCUT \nThe Ocelots are twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford. Building on the folk-rock essence of their debut\, the duo release of their highly anticipated second album\, Everything\, When Said Slowly\, 7th February 2025. This album unveils a richer\, more expansive sound\, masterfully produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy\, Susan O’Neill). The narrative woven throughout the album explores themes of Irish migration\, the perception of time\, love\, and the simple joys of cycling. \nBlood harmonies are the centre of The Ocelots’ sound – imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. Recorded live in Orphan Recording Studios\, by Gavin Glass (Lisa Hannigan\, BellX1\, David Keenan\, John Grant\, Villagers)\, the band’s performances help form a driven\, energetic scrapbook\, coloured by flutes\, synths\, harmonica and harmonium. The twin brothers blend absurdity and sincerity in an array of literature-inspired musings. Open tunings and clawhammer banjo bring country-folk contemplation\, but the imagery is very much urban\, living outside of the romanticised glaze of wood cabins and cottage-core nostalgia.

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.
