Voicebox: Brighton Fringe

Brighton Fringe

Brighton Fringe takes place every May and is a great place to spend the May bank holidays and the summer half-term break. This vast celebration of all things creative has grown out of, and is inspired by, home-grown talent. More than 50% of participants are based in Brighton and Hove. The festival is committed to helping the arts flourish and are completely open-access, which means anyone can put on a Brighton Fringe event. No selection criteria are imposed on participants. This enables both new and established performers to try out new work and take risks. They also help artists develop professionally through a range of workshops, mentoring and bursary programmes. A wide array of critically acclaimed shows and performers also appear at Brighton Fringe each year, drawn by the huge number of appreciative audience members who attend every year.

    Mano a Mano

    by Diana Walton Voice Team

    A very small theatre. A very large battered cardboard box. A tiny feather periscope observes the audience.

    The Intimate Strangers: Mister Bond

    by Bhavesh Jadva Voice Team

    Two proudly peculiar men with no filter bring to the Fringe a sketch comedy that relied heavily on sheer audacity and less on structure.

    Dave Chawner: C’est La Vegan, work in progress

    10 May 2017

    Aaaand it’s back! Twig The Pixie’s Family Funsplosion!

    by Bhavesh Jadva Voice Team

    I have always admired children's performers for their enormous physicality. Twig the Pixie is less physical than, say, Into The Water but has the storytelling and stand up talent to carry a ferociously loud audience.

    Luke Nowell: Being Hueman Being

    by Bhavesh Jadva Voice Team

    Newcomer Luke Nowell's absurdist routine took a worrying amount of time to get started. But when he did, the show exploded into life.
