Momma’s Got a Brand New Toy Kitchen @ The Brighton Fringe | She’s peopled her last please, now she’s figuring out hey ‘why can’t she be desired’? Why can’t she be naughty? Why can’t she be made out of HDPE plastic? Her exterior’s hard plastic but inside she’s stagnant air from 1991.
Bex can’t hide behind a toy kitchen mask anymore… she’s 5ft8. A fragile woman made entity! Whose masquerading as someone whose normal. But not really. Instead of sharp edges Bex has soft curves, a sturdy base and a small rack.
Who is she but a toy kitchen?
Join whimsical and (sometimes scary) comedian Bex Turner for a (mostly) stand-up show of weird tales, Autism and lots of crude Crudités!
Bex Turner is a high energy, eccentric, surreal, stand up/character comic. Her likeability combined with her comedic sense of adventure makes audiences love her. She was a 2018 Quarter Finalist at Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and a 2015 Semi Finalist for Laughing Horse New Act of the Year.

Every guest is handed ingredients as they arrive and the familiar tale of Little Red Hen begins, set in the local area.

Brought to you by Woodfire Camping and Tale & Hitch Productions, this family experience blends traditional storytelling with hands-on cooking. Together, audiences knead, shape and bake their own bread to be cooked over the flames before breaking it and sharing it, just as people have done since time immemorial all over the world.

Bound by the Wind: Echoes of the Past
2026-05-24 14:00 - 15:00 | The Rotunda Theatre: Bubble, Regency Square, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 2FG, 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.

Babel Beast
2026-05-26 18:00 - 2026-05-27 19:00 | The Actors, 4 Prince's Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2 1RD, 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 campness, madness and is entirely interdisciplinary” ★★★★★ Phoebe Constantine
“And understated but compelling story of isolation” COLD Magazine

Jonny Woo: Suburbia
2026-05-26 19:00 - 2026-05-28 21:00 | Ironworks Studios, 30 Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4GD, 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.
