Voicebox: 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.

Circumcision
The Fringe represents the arts on the fringes of taste. For many, this automatically means of the worse taste. To those, I say, Dave Chawner will prove you wrong.

Deep in the Heart of Me
Deep in the Heart of Me is one of the more changeable shows of Brighton Fringe; terrific in points, losing its grip on the audience in others.
