Voilà. Alfie serves up another helping of Fringe. This one's about friends, loneliness, family, enemies – and which of these he prefers. Bon appétit.  As seen on the BBC New Comedy Awards 2024. Writer for the News Quiz and the Now Show (BBC Radio 4) and The Guardian.

In this debut hour, Alice-India explores moral relativism and being "one of the girls". Arrested only 10 days before receiving an autism and ADHD diagnosis, often misunderstood, Alice swan dives into good and evil. Black and white. Whether good people exist at all. And, if they do, does anyone want to sleep with them anyway? Fresh from a break-up and a miraculously clean DBS, Alice-India pays the ferryman and takes you across the River Styx. See you in hell, assholes.

A knight pulls a sword from a stone and, as the prophecy foretold – becomes king. No, not that king. Another one. Totally different one. This one is in love with his horse. A clown tale of courage, duty, determination, brotherhood (shoutout to the round table!), grief, and most of all, horses. A wild romp through a medieval world you thought you knew. A ye olde show brought to you by Madeleine Rowe. Madeleine Rowe (they/them) is a clown, artist, and teacher from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Madeleine recently sold out a run of their clown solo show Honey, I’m Home at Open Eye Theatre. Other theatrical credits include clown opera, Orpheus in the Underworld -a Spymonkey co-production at the Vienna Volksoper- as well as shows with Four Humors, Clarence Brown Theater, and Yellow Tree Theater. Madeleine’s training includes renowned clown teacher Philippe Gaulier, acclaimed British comedy troupe Spymonkey, MFA Actor training from the University of TN, and a BA in performance from Augsburg University.

Step inside Holly Redford-Jones' award-winning Lesbian Bar! This bold new show is a dance through tales of unsung, unsanitised lesbian debauchery. A sonic love letter to sapphic institutions of a bygone era, the show celebrates queer women of the past, present and future. Taking a cue from the iconic Jonathan Richman song, Redford-Jones asks the biggest questions: where have all the lesbian bars gone? How do you know when you're in one? And how did Chesterfield's Crooked Spire become so... crooked?   

Dublin darling Shane Daniel Byrne is back, just about. The award-winning stand-up has become a leading act in Ireland at breakneck speed. Shane is the boy from school who was capable of more, the kid who could do better. Just try catching him now. Expect rapid-fire craic and big-hearted feelings in his brand-new show about bellies and bullies. 

The virtuoso ventriloquist, BAFTA nominee and British Comedy Award winner presents an unparalleled, unscripted show that delves deep into who we are, hijacking faces to spark a bold, hysterical reality warp. Fresh from sell-out runs in the West End and New York, and a sold out national tour.
