Brighton’s Fringe’s newest pop-up venue has released details of its packed season during May. Based just north of St Peter’s Church, Caravanserai is essentially a micro-festival providing some amazing spectacles to delight and amaze you.

The site offers two bespoke venues within the site, Luna Parc is a 220-seater big top tent, resplendent with its own hearse DJ booth and aerial rigging. While Junk Poet is a 50-seat theatre space built from repurposed fairground rides.

Highlights include the multi award winning and globally acclaimed Police Cops offering their infectious brand of comedy on Fri 5- Sun 7 May. This year’s show is an 80’s ‘low-fi sci-fi’ set in the most dangerous place on Earth…Space. After his father is killed by an evil robot, Sammy Johnson, the last Police Cop in the universe, blasts off in an unmanned escape pod. Now on a distant planet, he must team up with Alien fighter pilot Ranger and his trusty Cyborg C9 as they embark on an intergalactic adventure across the galaxy to find Earth, avenge his father, and become the best damn Police Cop in space.

With a stunning show telling the story of Ethiopian legend Deratru Tulu, Circus Abyssinia come to Caravanserai on Mon 22 - Weds 24, Fri 26 –Sun 28 & Tues 30 May – Sun 4 June.

This show covers the life of the famous long-distance runner, charting her rise from the humblest beginnings to become the first African woman to win Olympic gold. Circus Abyssinia aim to thrill and inspire, to celebrate the beauty and power of the imagination, and the real possibility that when we work together and fight for them, our dreams are for the taking.

Created by Mythological Theatre, this is storytelling like you’ve never seen before. Gods, monsters and heroes from legend and folklore are brought to life in original stories based on traditional myths and tales. Witness mythology as it was meant to be experienced: live and evolving. The impact of live wrestling is combined with intensity of stage combat and stunt performance in a truly unique form of storytelling.

Coming to Caravanserai on Mon 15 – Weds 17 & Sat 20 – Sun 21May, Crème De La Crème is a fun and stunning variety show filled with acrobats, traditional circus and cheeky bits of nudity. After their success at last year’s Brighton Fringe with their sell out show Railed, Head First Acrobats return with an incredible display of the hottest acts in this year’s festival with a variety night like no other. Expect worldclass acrobatics from seasoned performers, great skits and physical comedy in this Raw and yet refined work.
