welcome to brighton fringe 2017! On behalf of all at Brighton Fringe, I’m delighted to welcome you to discover England’s largest arts festival, which this year features nearly 1,000 events of all genres. It is the product of the talent, passion and dedication of many thousands of people locally, nationally and from all over the world. Within these pages you will find an unparalleled selection of theatre, comedy, music, dance, cabaret, circus, spoken word, visual arts and much more besides. There is, truly, something for everyone. At its core, Brighton Fringe is an open-access platform to nurture and support people of all backgrounds and experience to create and put on work. As an organisation, we are here year-round to promote and encourage excellence at every level, with more than £10,000 in bursaries, over 50 free Fringe Academy workshops, the annual Brighton Fringe Awards and extensive international development. This year in particular we are delighted to welcome a brilliant season of Dutch work with the kind support of the Embassy of the Netherlands and the Dutch Performing Arts Fund, in partnership with Amsterdam Fringe. I would like to thank everyone who makes Brighton Fringe what it is: the artists, technicians, admin teams, volunteeers, sponsors, partners, funders and Friends scheme members. And I’d like to thank you, the audience, and hope that you enjoy the wonders that are in store for you here. Brighton Fringe is your festival and I am very proud to commend it to you. Happy Fringing!

As an avid supporter of Brighton Fringe, it is a great honour for me to be asked to write in the Introduction to the 2017 brochure. From humble beginnings Brighton Fringe has seen a meteroic rise over the past five years, more than doubling the number of shows in venues across the city. I am extremely proud that England’s largest arts festival should have its home here in Brighton & Hove. I’m sure you, like me, are looking forward to browsing through and selecting the shows and events you are going to see this year - not an easy task as there is so much to choose from, so I won’t keep you any longer. Best wishes,

Councillor Pete West Mayor of Brighton & Hove Brighton Fringe Ltd, City College Brighton & Hove, Pelham St, BN1 4FA Registered Charity No 1116367 | VAT No 892 5694 68 Brighton Fringe Limited, Company No 5578256

in association with Komedia Brighton Each year, Brighton Fringe presents an Award for Excellence at Edinburgh Fringe and invites the recipient to join us in Brighton the following year. Find out more about this year’s award-winning show, WE ARE IAN (pictured), on p.60. “Being a small and relatively new theatre company, receiving the Brighton Fringe award is a great honour. Not only has it allowed us to take our work to the Brighton Fringe, but it also has signiﬁcantly helped us secure a national tour of WE ARE IAN, after our run at the Edinburgh Festival. The process was exciting, and one that as an emerging company, we found accessible and inclusive. We feel very proud to be the recipients of this year’s award.” - Kat, Na Nora, Kat & Dora, WE ARE IAN

BARRERA is the story of two clowns in mourning. After the death of their best friend, the clowns try to continue living, but what is the point? They still do their performance with card tricks and balloons, but all the glitter and glamour seems far gone. They blunder on through drunken dancing and buckets full of tears, each mishap plunging the audience further into mirth, memory, and pathos.

Laurie Black taunts the gods of bad luck in her debut Brighton show after Adelaide and Edinburgh. Joined by a tribe of performers including (but not limited to) burlesque, cabaret and music.

STAND-UP

Ostensibly a local radio station broadcasting on 69.9FM, the Bramble FM caravan hosts a surreal and hilarious roadshow fronted by Maureen Clarke and Lesley Beauchamp. A thumping soundtrack, absurdly popular regular features, eclectic dance moves and in-the-moment improvisation.

Is it paranoia or is the world insane? From the futility of physical fitness to the very real possibility that cats are plotting against us. Brodi and Dave present 'Paranoid' an hour of dark, sometimes surreal, observational stand-up where they break down our crazy world and hit you with the inside truth.

Elena had enough of Australia and decided to move to Berlin on a whim (without speaking a word of German).

How does moving countries in this day and age differ from the 1950s? www.elenagabrielle.com

Think you know charades? Think again! After two sell-out years at Brighton Fringe, 'Haven't a Clue..!' returns, now in the late-night slot, for an X-rated version! In this crazy, hilarity-filled hour, comedy meets game show meets improv as two teams of Brighton Fringe comics pit their skills and wit against each other with this hysterical twist on the classic. You won't look at charades the same way again!

Will and Heidi are two thoughtful, principled stand-ups who will do anything to get a laugh, including dropping all principles. Cerebral, silly, surreal and sibilant stand-up from two rising stars, one the winner of 'So You Think You're Funny' 2016, and the other who should be commended for his persistence.

SOLO SHOW

STAND-UP

Responsible for the most popular TED Talk of 2016, James Veitch brings his hilarious new show 'Game Face', with more geeky comedy about life, love and enabling Bluetooth. A glorious show of esoteric, anarchic and unashamedly Powerpoint-fuelled comedy from the Independent's 'One to Watch'.

Jane's a bit of a cow. Mardy cow, selfish cow, lazy cow, evil cow - she's described herself as all these things at some point in her life. But is it fair on her? Or even on cows? This is a one-woman show about the insults we call ourselves. There'll be jokes and honesty and some facts about cows. "Genuine belly-laughs" (ThreeWeeks).

PERFORMANCE ART

The world preview of Lucy's new show - a coming to terms/ retelling of the history of England and spiritual revolution. A problematic confrontation of the times, a story about being together and some improbably beautiful songs, performed by a goddess, of sorts. "Hopkins is fantastic" (The Guardian). www.lucyhopkins.tumblr.com

Post-popular prodigy Lucy McCormick and her Girl Squad present a trashstep-dubpunk morality play for the modern world. Casting herself in all the main roles, Lucy attempts to re-connect to her moral conscience by reenacting the New Testament via a Nu-wave holy trinity of dance, power ballads and performance art. With trademark absurdism and enthusiasm in the face of existential deadlock.

The world's going to hell in a handcart, with climate change, extremism and cliches like "going to hell in a handcart". Enter South West London's favourite songwriter (possibly), to sort things out (possibly) with catchy tunes and tortuous rhymes. Mark muses on cold remedies, fizzy drinks, middle-aged lust and more.

A stand-up comedy show brought to you by pet-loving funny guys Simone Belshaw and James Sarek. As we are sure you have gathered from the title, this is a show dedicated to cats and dogs. As part of the project, Simone and James will be raising funds for local animal charities and creating awareness about animal welfare. Half of all proceeds from every show will be going to a nominated charity or shelter.

Nominated for the Melbourne Fringe Comedy Award 2016. Sarcastic, satirical and hilariously self-deprecating, Woolly is a sheep with serious issues. Witness the tale of how one sexually frustrated, 20-something Brit dealt with rejection in the most absurd way possible: by running away to a shearing shed in South Australia. What emerged was more sheep than man. Now he's out, and he's looking for ewe!

Two striking and contrasting puppetry shows form a double bill that explores the journey of dementia patients at the end of their life. 'Dark Matter' dives into the hallucinatory mind of an elderly astrophysicist, who is trying to make sense of his scattered life. 'Angeleta and Etelvina' sheds light into caring for a loved one with dementia and its impact on those relationships.

A powerful piece exploring the issues surrounding male sexual abuse. Based on real experiences, a man is suddenly confronted with his past and the reactions of those closest to him. With the stage as a platform for debate, focus is on the attitudes and behaviour of his friends and family as they become the protagonists in this forum theatre piece.

The hunt is on! In the absurd maze of society, who is the hunter? The prey cannot run, nor hide, enslaved in the arrogance of a system that devalues human nature and thrives in the deprivation of hope. A fear-producing industry relentlessly divides us into those producing and those consuming fear.

NEW WORK

What happens when you ask a 6-year-old boy and a 90-year-old woman the same question? Through the use of real voices, see what fears are shared among generations and what hopes we can hold onto amidst the chaos of modern society. Experimenting with physical theatre, a loop pedal and ramshackle instruments, listen to us tell our story, their story and, most importantly, your story.

One young man's journey into sight loss and his struggle to reconstruct a life from the ashes of the old. A deeply personal story told with honesty, dark humour, music and occasionally just falling over for a cheap laugh.

Amsterdam Fringe 2016 Award winner. A hypnotic, entrancing musical performance looking for the character Cassandra. This Trojan prophet foresaw the collapse of her city, but she was not heard, and it drove her to madness. "A captivating, poetic performance by a mesmerising duo, guiding you from light to dark, giving goosebumps along the way." (Amsterdam Fringe 2016 Awards Jury).

A new play that tells the story of Bernard Halfpen, the almost invisible pianist at the Luton Skyport Hotel. As he plays his anodyne melodies, he reveals a dark past, and how he might have been a great concert pianist had fate not had other plans. Always musically compelling, often rather touching.

"But... your grace?" said Sancho, "What you see over there aren't giants, but windmills." "Obviously," replied Don Quixote, "you don't know much about adventures." The maddest thing of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be. Mad? Maybe. Right? Possibly. A riotous retelling of 'Don Quixote' for all ages. Music, comedy and a disappearing donkey.

'Don't Leave Me Now' is inspired by two real-life stories. The play explores with humour, insight and compassion the impact of early onset dementia on two very different families, highlighting the emotions, dilemmas and challenges.

If you are a male in the UK aged 20-49, you're more likely to die from suicide than cancer, heart disease or a car crash. 'Human Issue' is a powerful monologue, delivered from the perspective of a stand-up comedian who reached the point of despair. Challenging, thought-provoking and relevant subjects are tackled with dark philosophical wit. A story of hope and a celebration of the tenacious nature of humanity.

The Pals do their best to keep each other's spirits up, with trenchant sarcasm and a camaraderie that only comes from knowing one another for years.

The true story of Helena, an amiable 29-year-old Slovak woman, and Linda, a 5-year-old, miserable, loveless cat. For years, barely tolerating each other's company was enough, but when personal and political circumstances change, will the pair reconcile or will Helena board the flight home alone?

Gauliertrained and inspired by the silent clowns. "The strength in Gibbons' performance is not so much in the words, but in the acting" **** (LondonTheatre1). www.iaingibbons.co.uk

It's time for a show of radical gestures and tough words. Look and listen to the students of the MA Performance and Visual Practices as they return to the Marlborough Theatre with a show that smashes normality and attends to the smithereens. We will strut the stage, collect syllables and feel our way through the thicket. Something will emerge.

NEW WORK

'Stimela' has swept across the globe like a tidal wave of soaring voices and stomping feet. Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South Africa. The slave-labourers developed their own language by slapping their gumboots and rattling their ankle chains, celebrating the body as a musical instrument whilst highlighting South Africa's rich and complex culture.

Jasper has spent months alone in his cell since his brothers passed. Now a light shines through in the form of Rose. But is his new companion all she appears to be? Locked in a prison away from anything, who is to say what is a mere story and what is a memory of a very real past? Minds have the power to make a heaven of a hell. And vice versa.

Little do they know that Kate's parents have planned a surprise reception never to forget. Expect a sidesplitting piece of theatre. www.interactivetheatre.com.au/theweddingreception

Everyone Adele knows voted Labour and Remain - so what the hell is going on? It would be much better if the rest of the country just agreed with her. But the moral high ground can be lonely with just your outrage for company. A fastpaced, hilarious show by BBC Trans Comedy Award winner Tom Glover.

ABSURDIST

"What if how I feel about the world and myself at 4am, what if that is the truth? What if the only reason the plane is able to stay in the sky is because I am thinking really encouraging thoughts about the wings?" A playful and unusual tale of fear, anxiety and the absurd strategies we employ to manage our sense of impending doom.

Two poignant comedies about love in older age: in 'Romance of the Century' an elderly couple, once the most glamorous couple in the world, are awaiting the arrival of a royal visitor for tea; and in 'The Weatherman' two elderly men try to remember the joys of love, and someone else's name... www.closequarter.net

It's the swinging sixties. The line between criminals and celebrities has been blurred. Anyone can be someone, even in Rochdale. Griffiths has been waiting all his life for his big chance, and when it comes, he's going to take it. A real life story told with humour and compassion. "Easily one of the best-performed one-actor shows this year." (Audience Reviewer, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014).

I guess you wanted to have fun on your spring break. Come back to uni relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on the rest of the semester. Only this morning, you woke up to find your friend lying dead in the middle of your campsite. Right on top of where the fire used to be. It must have hurt, falling like that; you can see the front of his shirt is burnt on the embers. Well, there go your summer plans.

Soviet Russia, 1937. Five great writers are placed in a room with an infinite supply of vodka, cigarettes and fear. For each writer it is their last chance, and every word is loaded. A tense blend of violence, comedy and physical theatre. Written by Luke Ofield.
