Brighton Fringe kicks off on Friday May 3 – with loads to enjoy at venues around the city.
Comedy, theatre, cabaret and kids shows are all part of the programme – with 750 events being staged in 120 venues across Brighton, Hove and beyond.
Managing Director Amy Keogh says: “We are so excited about this year’s Fringe. It’s a special chance to see so many funny, unique and spectacular shows which are coming to the city for just a short time. Tickets are selling fast – some of our events are already selling out, including Character Flaw, the winner of the Brighton Fringe Award for excellence at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe. There are also some brand new venues which we’re looking forward to welcoming for 2024”
A major new venue for 2024 is Fool’s Paradise, located just to the south of St Peter’s Church on York Place. The site will be free-to-enter, with performances, street food stalls, and activities for children. Fool’s Paradise will host two theatre venues, one with 350 seats and one with 170, showcasing music, theatre, circus and cabaret.
In 2023 almost half a million visitors attended Fringe events in theatres, pubs and venues across the city.
This year thirty per cent of the events are from companies based in Brighton and Hove. The Fringe, which is open access, runs until June 2.
