Now in its 20th year, Camden Fringe has announced a programme of more than 400 shows playing across 40 venues this summer. With a huge offering of theatre and comedy, the programme also offers dance, magic music and more at venues including Etcetera Theatre, Hen & Chickens, Camden People’s Theatre, The Bill Murray, the newly opened Libra Theatre Café, and The Old Red Lion, which is presenting festival-within-a-festival Shakefest.
Camden Fringe is an affordable alternative to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, offering performers the chance to try out new material and different ideas in a supportive setting with less time and financial commitments. The festival aims to give anyone the chance to perform and showcase their talents, from very experienced performers and companies to ambitious newcomers. With hundreds of shows covering all manner of subjects, the full programme on the Camden Fringe website allows audiences to find shows by venue, genre and even key themes, and, like the Edinburgh Fringe, shows will be on throughout the day.
