welcome to brighton fringe 2018! Freedom is compelling and something that we all crave and deserve. Whether it be to liberate ourselves, our minds or to claim what is rightfully ours, it is always relevant and essential for our individual and collective wellbeing. As an open-access festival, Brighton Fringe embodies this notion. Anyone can take part and the appeal is also universal. The result is an arts event that is unparalleled in England in terms of diversity, quality and scale. Within these pages is an extraordinary mix of creative, entertaining, challenging and educational self-expression from more than 5,000 people all across Brighton & Hove, the UK and around the world. All events are affordably priced and many are free, including our showcases at Fringe City every weekend of the festival. We are also delighted to welcome the Dutch, Flemish and Finnish Seasons, as well as more than 50 award and bursary-winning companies, bringing the unique opportunity to experience some of the finest performers and artists from all over the world. We are also proud of our inaugural Freedom Season with a range of work catering for people with particular access needs. Thank you to all those people and organisations who make Brighton Fringe what it is, both backstage and onstage. And thanks also to you, the audience. Set yourself free and you never know where you’ll end up!

Julian Caddy Managing Director, Brighton Fringe Ltd.

A warm welcome to the fantabulous Brighton Fringe 2018. I have been a keen supporter since its small beginnings in 1967 and now it’s the largest arts festival in England with a hugely positive impact on the local community, businesses and the spirit of our city. In 2017 it staged 1008 events and 4601 performances in 168 venues, with almost a quarter of a million tickets sold, and 2018 promises to be another bumper year. Fringe City will again operate every weekend and new for 2018 is the Freedom Season with more events being fully accessible to everyone, whatever their needs. A fantastic feast awaits us, I can’t wait, so enjoy!

B & M look back over a decade of social change in a musical retro-speculative that is part fact, part fiction, part self-indulgence. They attempt to make sense of a decade of rapid change and work out whether they could, in fact, be to blame for it all? "Hard to think of any other act delivering such clever, funny and sharp material" (Time Out).

Anarchic twins break the rules of the Magicians' Code of Conduct passed down to them by their grandfather. Codes broken range from never reveal how a trick is done to never perform when people are eating. "Superb mixture of humour, magic and audience participation" (EdFringe). www.kaneandabelmagic.com

Britain is on the brink of nuclear war - how would you spend what might be your last afternoon alive? Have a barbecue, of course. Lunch poet Daniel Searle and 'Goat Island's' Heather Minor present 'Barbecue: The Musical', starring Jo Neary. A group of Brits converge to burn sausages, discuss the weather, and try to avoid inviting Graham, the next-door neighbour. Expect songs, tongs, and Kim-Jongs.

Bark is a tree. B is a naked cotton lady. They know nothing about the stage. Now they'll have to perform a whole show to inherit the old theatre left to them. With the help of their Techfishian they try to keep the curtains up with a cabaret of improv, shadow puppet flashbacks and ukulele rap. Will everything go to plan? Not if the old spooky janitor has anything to do with it!

Kuan-wen joins baby-boomer-bashing, but sides with management moaning about the "snowflake" generation at work. Neither trusting Jeremy Corbyn nor supporting the uncool Tory. He's just about managing new tech and social media. A show by a neither-nor of generation generalisation.

Join comedy duo Bosh & Babbs (Jessica Boshier and Kylie Babbington) as they take over Beyond Retro with a brand-new sketch experience filled with their outlandish characters, premiering at Brighton Fringe. Each ticket includes a one-hour, post-show, Bosh & Babbs smash-hits disco, starting your night off with your favourite 90s/00s pop hits!

STAND-UP

A hilarious new physical comedy about over-ambition and underachievement from 'Plague of Idiots' frontman Damien Warren-Smith and Cal McCrystal, "Britain's funniest director" (The Guardian). High art has never stooped so low.

Comedian Gary G Knightley, as seen on Channel 4, BBC3 and the West End, brings you his debut solo show. After hiding behind cult EdFringe show 'Animal Jokes' for years, it is time to get real. Uncomfortably real. Knightley explores what it is to be him: a brash, honest curmudgeon who hates everything but just wants to be adored. What a twat. With Meatloaf songs.

John 3:16 is the verse to end all verses apparently. Christians put it on billboards and t-shirts, hoping to catch the attention of unbelievers. James Cary, comedy writer (Miranda, Bluestone 42, Hut 33, A Monk's Tale) and Christian, wonders why and finds that John's Gospel is more personal than he first thought. www.jamescary.co.uk

SKETCH SHOW

Jay Cowle is a stand-up comedian and day dreamer which is all very nice until he wants to get something done, but things are changing. This time he's not wasting the day pretending to be a wizard. He's going to go outside to be a wizard.

Jerry Hall bursts her way into Brighton Fringe in this riot of a cabaret, developed at Soho Theatre. Hot on her heels are her singing hubby Murdoch, twin sis Terry Hall and many more. Making their debut, expect a hilarious world of madness from comedy duo Kayleigh Cassidy and Danielle Downey (as seen in Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe 2017's sold out show 'Crime Scene Improvisation').

STAND-UP

After a sell-out run at The Camden Fringe 2017 and (hopefully) The Leicester Comedy Festival 2018, 'Jew-ORama' makes its Brighton debut, bringing you the best Jewish stand-up comedy in the country. Performers include Aaron Levene and Philip Simon (Jewish Comedian of the Year 2015) as well as a different special guest on each day.

Questions often arise if 'Butterfly' is about Jilberto coming out of his cocoon and spreading his wings... no, that's gay. It's obviously about the hit 1997 classic Mariah Carey album 'Butterfly', so it's even gayer. In all honesty, it's a show that revolves around the butterfly effect; how the smallest change can make the biggest difference.

MAGIC

Comedy magician Stu Turner and comedian and ventriloquist Phil Reid come together for an hour of standup, magic, and variety.

They'll tickle your funny bones whatever your age. Laughing Horse @ Caroline of Brunswick 217 H4 39 Ditchling Rd BN1 4SB

Hello. You look nice today. But no time for that. This event will go ahead no matter what happens. Power outage? The wheel will spin. Sudden outbreak of witch trials? The wheel will spin. The wheel breaking? We'll come up with something. The unstoppable quiz with a wheel (no two shows are the same, due to the very nature of the universe).

Team captains Phil Jerrod and Sean McLoughlin go head to head in the funniest twitter battle since Donald Trump vs Kim Jong Un. The only difference being that they've both got tiny red buttons which just operate a buzzer. UN Peacekeeper/quizmaster Neil Dagley and the boys will be joined by four high profile guests every night. See website for line-ups. www.otherplacebrighton.co.uk

Nothing interesting has ever happened to gay comedian Will Dalrymple. So, he's made up a fictional gay life for his debut stand-up hour instead. The result is 'Man to Man', an outrageous, explicit, and acclaimed parody gay literotica novel. Think '50 Shades Of Gay'. "Hysterical" (ThreeWeeks), ***** (Broadway Baby).

The story of me; a misfit, growing up in the north west of England in the 1980s. A funny and touching exploration of masculinity and the great expectations of manliness placed upon my youth by the older generations of the family. Some monkeys learn how to express their feelings more slowly than others. I am that monkey.

TRAGEDY

A fresh comedic offering from William, the pre-eminent* humanoid man and no, I don't think that's overstating. I've been watching you sleeping for a year, it's time you came and watched me. "Half cerebral, half physical, entirely hilarious" **** (The List). (*Citation needed).

Whilst working on a half-hour comedy special Will realised that stand-up was no longer the most important thing in his life. Could he ever be the same again? As seen on FOX's 'Showtime at the Apollo', BBC's 'Stand-up for Comic Relief' and finalist on NBC Comcast's 'Trial by Laughter'. "Damn that dude is funny!" (Steve Harvey, Showtime at the Apollo).

STAND-UP

Sex, death, Christianity, tennis, pigeons, divorce, allergies, global politics; no topic is too out there for Will Penswick, and he's committed them to verse. 'Dank Verse' is comprised of a mixture of shocking (in two senses of the word) spoken word poetry, and the poet's absurd cutaways from his art into flirtation with the audience and his general views on life, love and why the f*ck he decided to write at all.

Silly, surreal stand-up comedy from spicy boy Will Rowland. Finalist: New Comedian of the Year 2017, Third Place Max Turner Prize 2017. "Playful... intellectual... jokes about his washing machine" (Chortle).

Zahra has never stood in front of a mirror and taken a selfie. She's more likely to stand in front of a mirror and ask herself to make a change. From Kim Kardashian's career to Kim Jong Un's Korea, the world is a mix of war and priss, and Zahra wants to be a warrior not a princess.

From energy bills to windmills...

...the story of green energy

Brighton Fringe beckons - and Ecotricity is coming to party. As a well-known hotspot for all things green, Brighton Fringe is the perfect place to bring our mini-stage - powered by Ecotricity, Britain’s greenest energy company, and the wonderful folk of Brighton. With a lot of Ecotricity customers in town, Brighton already makes a massive positive impact – just by choosing to go green with their energy supply. Switching to a green energy company is one of the biggest things you can do to cut your personal carbon footprint – and our Brighton customers save an estimated 2629 tonnes of C02 every year. That’s 28 times the weight of the viewing pod on the Brighton i360! So with many already on board, the festival season provides a great opportunity to share the green message with those yet to jump on. We’ve been at WOMAD for the last five years, enjoying great music and meeting an awesome crowd, and the last two years have seen us also at Glastonbury, taking the green revolution to almost 200,000 people. So how did we get here, well….. Back when Dale Vince was living in a caravan on top of a hill, he had a vision - green electricity powered by the wind. On the verge of building his very first windmill in Stroud, he went to meet the MEB, the local monopoly energy company. They laughed at the idea of green electricity and basically offered the kind of price monopolies do for new energy – a rubbish one.

And so the idea was born - cut out the middleman and start an energy company! Founded in 1995, Ecotricity kickstarted the now global green electricity movement. Our mission was and remains to change the way electricity is made and used in Britain. We operate a unique model. We use our customers’ energy bills to fund the building of new sources of green energy. We like to refer to this as turning ‘bills into mills’ – energy bills into windmills, and as we’re a not-for-dividend company, our profits go back into our mission. In 2010 we introduced the concept of green gas to Britain and in the process we evolved into a fully-fledged green energy company. We announced plans for our first green gasmills in 2015, and were granted planning permission to build our first at Sparsholt College in Hampshire in 2016. We do all this in pursuit of our vision for a green Britain – a place in which we all live more sustainable lives and where ethical business is the norm, pursuing outcomes other than profit. So of course we’re excited to meet some of our customers that make this possible, and to encourage more to power the mission at Brighton Fringe. We’ll be there for a couple of weekends in May, providing entertainment and interaction for a family fun day out. Come see us and get involved - join the world’s greenest energy company and watch your money make a difference. We all need energy, make that energy power the change you want to see!

There's a chance to change a life. The change may only last a moment. Do you take it? This funny, touching story, narrated in person and film, tells how a simple letter changed a life and how you could do the same.

Leyla Josephine is hopeless. She's had enough. She's been staying in bed all day, refusing to watch the news, eating full Viennettas at 1pm. 'Hopeless' examines human suffering through quick-fire poetry and dark comedy. Leyla asks whether we can really make a difference or if, in fact, everything is broken beyond repair.

Delivering cynical humour and slaying a killer set of songs from the likes of Nina Simone, Cat Power and Adele, Cat tries to make sense of how we ended up like this and set her world to rights, before it's too late. A brand-new satire from a distinctive voice. "Stunning!" (Graham Norton). www.catloud.co.uk

SURREAL

A twisted singer/songwriter. Songs from the ashes of a meltdown. Influenced by the skullduggery and honky-tonk blues of Tom Waits and Nick Cave, the simple sentiment of Daniel Johnson, the slutty vibe of The Velvet Underground and the cheekiness of Ian Dury.

The perfect end to the bank holiday weekend - let your soul soar and swing with a two-hour set from one of the finest 10-piece, soul-revue bands, the mighty SoulFish. Then, from 11pm, wind down as Faust tries to wrestle his soul from the devil. A unique mash-up of the classical and the modern, performed by Seth Morgan and directed by Rikki Tarascas, this weird offering tempts our souls till midnight.

Is it okay to shave your legs but keep your pits free flowing? Are you a terrible person if you only own a wooden toothbrush so that someone might see it and think you're a revolutionist? And is it okay to say that most days your only companion in this constantly connected disconnected world is your overpowering body odour? "Wit, comedy, and poignancy... undeniably a triumph" (Miro Magazine).

Vogue model, Surrealist photographer, WWII correspondent, Lee Miller is one of the most recognised figures in 20th century photography. The highs and lows of Lee Miller's turbulent life are explored in this dramatised reading, with dialogue sourced from archive material and first-hand conversations, set to her iconic images.

There are more than 60 million displaced people on our planet. Ringo is one of them. He invites you to his cardboard home in a city park to share with you his most valuable possession - his extraordinary life. Edwina Strobl directs Reice Weathers in this captivating new play by Daniel Keene.

This is Joe's story. Four friends. A party. A harmless joke that becomes something more sinister. A tragic escalation of events with life-changing consequences for all involved. 'BOY'. Who am I? And is that ok?

PERFORMANCE ART

It's 2017, Operation Temperer has put UK troops on UK streets. Concert attacks, terrorists in white vans running over civilians. This is a very new frontline. Members of parliament needing results. This play explores the military political agenda and its ramifications, in an hour-long, emotional and tension-packed production.

Part ritual, part prayer, part rowdy revivalist rally, 'The Comforter' is a rite of passage that reclaims spirituality and proposes a new perspective on church. Exchanging psalms and sacrament from 80s/90s pop culture, it draws inspiration from Twin Peaks and Ingmar Bergman, and throws a kiss to George Michael.

When Scott was just sixteen, he murdered Emma's father. Since then, he's been serving a life sentence. But, with the possibly of it being reduced, Emma visits him in prison, to decide for herself whether nine years inside a cell has changed him. When the two finally come face to face, Scott's true colours threaten to emerge and an insidious game of cat and mouse begins. www.hiddenviewz.co.uk

Two unlikely friends find a camaraderie against a backdrop of bitter conflict, questionable politics, and a moral debate waged an ocean away. The extraordinary story of the ordinary people of a tiny island at the bottom of the world, and the war that changed their lives and landscape forever.

if u like someone nd they dont text u back after u've had sex dw cos they must just b a ghost x 'Ghost Sexxx' takes a comedic look at 'ghosting' (when a person you're dating simply stops replying to your texts/calls). In the show, Ema carries out a seance, tells a ghost story and has a sexorcism, all the while taking a refreshing and ridiculous look at the experience of rejection.

Female friendship can be more consuming than any romantic love. Bea and Angela, just sixteen, make a pact: no men, no marriage, no children. Now in their thirties, the pair reunite for one evening after 10 years of silence. 'A Glass Half Empty' is a piece of new writing which addresses the female experience of ageing, beauty standards, and the biological ticking clock.

CLASSICAL

The story of 'Gorgeous' George O'Connell, bare-knuckle fighter and traveller, who enters the world of professional boxing and puts himself on a collision course with his roots, his identity and his greatest fear. In the opposite corner, gay boxer Dane 'The Pain' Samson, the young pretender and son of a boxing legend, is fighting his own battles that lead to a tragedy that neither could predict.

Hamlet has spiralled into a deep depression and is hell bent on self-destruction. As a result, he now lives in daily oblivion. But are his feelings fair and justified, or is he trapped in an addictive cycle of self-pity? Whilst retaining full use of Shakespeare's text, this modern adaptation exposes the dark reality of Hamlet's anger, guilt, pain and fear. www.atwastheatre.com

POLITICAL

Marx launches a passionate, funny, and moving defense of his ideas in Zinn's brilliant, timely play 'Marx in Soho', an excellent intro to Karl Marx's life, society and his passion for radical change. Marx uses current news and events to show how his ideas resonate today, and captures how a humane alternative to capitalism is possible. Resist!

TRAGEDY

The Wretched Strangers is a company that hails from mainland Europe and gives an accented voice back to foreigners. Our production of Jean Anouilh's Médée revisits the classic from the viewpoints of exile, terror and orientalism, and is based on our own experience of immigration.

Morocco's past European colonisation meant tales of old were unwritten. Communicating in the traditional Berber language was forbidden for many years. What couldn't be suppressed was storytelling happening in families... mainly through women's words. These tales are brought to life in a poetic merging of film, performance and painting. www.estabrak.org

Is it possible to communicate with the dead? Magicians Griffin and Jones intend to find out. Face your fears and join them as they use techniques from Victorian séance rooms to peer into the great beyond and ask the question, "Is anybody there?" Sceptics and believers welcome.

We're born, we go to school, college, sometimes university. We're taught to work, not how to be happy. A better job? A boyfriend? Holiday? Failing that, I decided to search the internet. First step: figure out what is wrong... oh, errm... An honest, comedic show about life and happiness.

Nigel Osner casts a quizzical eye over life's challenges for those, shall we say, just that little bit older. Going out, love, holidays - even the gym! He does this in a series of original songs and stories by male and female characters.

Experience the absurdly violent/sexual journey of one man who promises to make Poland great again! A post-pantomime punk adaptation of Jarry's symbolist masterpiece, this surreal critique of current politics sees audiences chase actors and crawl through tunnels while 'King Shit' rants and raves onstage to laughter and fear.

This brand new comedy will offer laughter! Passion! Fun! Action! Fascinating characters! A love story! A villain! Songs! A play-within-a-play! But only if its couch-potato hero can get off the sofa and write it. Will he write it in time? Will the actors have to improvise the whole thing? Can you write a play in five minutes? That would be anything but monotonous... but then, what's wrong with monotony?

How do we remember those who have died? Why are we so attached to their stuff? Have you ever pictured your own funeral? Erin has. She's pictured yours too. Not everyone will be in black and at least one person will just be there for the buffet. Using wit and warmth, poet Erin Bolens explores our relationship with legacy, loss and funeral tunes.
