CAMDEN FRINGE SHOWS
3 - 30 August
The Camden Fringe is a performing arts festival, established in 2006, which takes place in Camden during August. Anyone and everyone is welcome to apply. Previous fringe events have encompassed new writing, opera, musicals, stand-up, sketch comedy, dance, cabaret, poetry, opera, mentalism, improvisation and opera. Shows take place throughout the day and generally last one hour.
The Camden Fringe was set-up as an alternative to Edinburgh Festival, offering performers the chance to try out new material and different ideas in a supportive setting with less time and financial commitments than EdFringe did at the time. The Camden Fringe aims to give anyone the chance to perform and showcase their talents, from very experienced performers and companies, to ambitious newcomers. Since 2006 the Camden Fringe has gained a reputation for supporting acts, providing helpful information and guidance for the acts involved.

Sláine: The Horned God
22 September
Join professional storyteller Jason Buck for a tale of ancient Celtic heroes and villains, monsters and magic, dragons and demons, and goddesses and gods.
Set in a “time which is not a time” when Britain was rife with magic and mischief, this show brings together epic heroic exploits and divine transformations of the one who would be High King of the Tribes of the Earth Goddess, reimagining ancient mythologies, adapted and brought to life through traditional storytelling, for modern audiences.
In partnership with 2000 AD and Rebellion Publishing, created by Pat Mills ‘the godfather of British comics’ and Angie Kincaid, Sláine has captured the imagination of comics readers for generations.
“If you get a chance go see this and get taken to an ancient Celtic world” – Carl, Manchester
“I saw him at the Jorvik festival last week. It was incredible.” – Terry ‘The Science Viking’
“Not knowing the stories of Sláine at all I now want to read them. Absolutely brilliant, didn’t want it to end” – Preview show, Oxford
