It’s a privilege to be supporting the talented performers, buzzing venues and everyone involved in organising this unique festival. As well as congratulating local performers on the hard work they’ve put in, I’d like to applaud and extend a warm welcome to the international talent taking part in our Nordic and Dutch Seasons this year, which are truly establishing Brighton Fringe as a leading global arts festival.

WINNER WINNER

Thrown by Jodi Gray 8-11 May 19:00 Junkyard Dogs: The Doghouse | £12 [£8] Read more on page 126

We also have performances from further afield including winner of the Sydney Fringe Touring Award in association with Brighton Fringe, ‘My Greatest Period Ever’, by Lucy Peach, who comes all the way from Perth, Australia. Challenging stigma and celebrating what it is to be a menstruating woman, Peach is the epitome of edutainment. This year’s programme truly pushes the boundaries of creativity and entertainment.

SONS EA

“The support we’ve received with this award from Junkyard Dogs and Brighton Fringe is really fantastic. We held our first ever rehearsal of our first ever play at the Brighthelm Centre so performing Thrown in the exact same building nine years later, with this amount of support and artistic backing, feels like we’re completing something and coming full circle. Come for the binaural sound experience, but stay for the cinematic and sensory storytelling of one woman attempting to record what she’s spent her whole life trying to forget.”

As well as welcoming back a wonderful assortment of local talent, we are excited to be bringing you a diverse selection of events from our Dutch and Nordic Seasons including stand-up from queer, feminist comedians, interactive events such as artist speed dating and even Flamenco mixed with Finnish folk songs.

INTERN

Each year, Brighton Fringe presents an ‘Award for Excellence’ at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 2019 winner was selected in association with Junkyard Dogs. “Thrown is a multi-layered and completely absorbing piece. Through binaural sound and a wonderful visual performance, we are taken on a journey that makes us reflect on our childhood, as well as considering our future. Totally unique and captivating.” Laura Chatburn, Junkyard Dogs.

There’s a spectacular number of performances and events on offer at Brighton Fringe 2019, over 4,000 in fact! So, if you’re stuck for where to begin, start your Fringe adventure with an award-winning event, bursary winner or specialist season show.

in association with Brighton Fringe “We can’t wait to bring you the period power and we are so bloody thrilled to receive this award because now we actually can! As a songwriting wife with a parallel career in sexual health and a live illustrating and creative director husband, we fell into theatre together by accident two years ago. We’ve been touring Australia ever since, on a wave of menstrual empowerment, leaving a trail of fist pumping emboldened bleeders and enlightened blokes in our wake! We couldn’t be more ready for our international debut and what better place than Brighton, a kindred spirit town to Fremantle, WA!” My Greatest Period Ever by Lucy Peach 8-11 May, 15-16 May 21:30, 17-18 May 14:00 Junkyard Dogs: The Doghouse £15 [£12] Read more on page 120 In Loving Memory of Pat Riarchy by Clap Back Club | p. 58 4, 18, 25 May 20:45 One Church Brighton | £7 [£5] MOOP: STORIES by Jolie Booth and Lucy Malone | p. 132 7, 14, 21 May 19:30 Phoenix Brighton | (Donations, ticketed) 11

“Winning the coveted Best Children’s Presentation Award at the Adelaide Fringe was so great. It gave validation to our work and encouraged us to continue to make the type of shows that we love to perform. Trash Test Dummies is mostly about play, creativity and joy where we explore everyday objects in profound and hilarious ways. When making the show it was most important to us that we had lots of fun performing it as well as entertaining the audiences… of all ages. Like a Pixar film we perform things for the parents that the kids don’t understand. With slapstick comedy and world-class circus stunts there is something for everyone.” Jamie Bretman, Trash Test Dummies

The spirit of French sculptress Camille Claudel has been awakened by an influx of interest in her work. A lot has been written about her - she even has her own museum. Now, she feels, is the time to tell her story from her own point of view, from the purely human perspective.

Magic as stunning as the skill is hidden. "You won't see other magicians do this stuff... because they can't! Caspar's skill is of a standard rarely seen anywhere" (Jerry Sadowitz), "Stunning sleight of hand from a master of magic" (Fringe Review), "Fantastic!" (Hollywood Fringe).

Lisa is very boring. This is unfortunate, as she is a comedian. Instead of fireworks, expect hi-vis jackets. Instead of innuendos, expect unbiased information about state-funded porn. Instead of clever gags about dating apps, expect to learn about Martin Luther. And expect to ask yourself; "why did I laugh at that?"

What is love? It's a mystery. People often ask me what is life's greatest mystery? So I tell them, it's the Loch Ness Monster. But then they say, OK what's life's second greatest mystery? And I say, oh that's love. This show is about love, and also a little bit about the Loch Ness Monster. "Laughs other comedians dream of" (The Guardian), "Pure comedy magic" (The Skinny).

STAND-UP

2018 Edinburgh Fringe Best Newcomer nominee aims to dissect the fundamental decency - or lack thereof inherent to of all us. Are we actually good, or do we rather perform goodness, only to crack under the pressure when it comes to all manner of genuine sacrifice? And who can know? In this, her sophomore effort, Sara Barron tries to. She wants to be the one who knows.

The award-winning Sarah Keyworth talks about life with an important little girl. 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' but British, deadpan and in no way similar. "Charming, independent, excellently deadpan" (Huffington Post) "I liked that joke about her fanny" (Sarah Millican) "A complete breath of fresh air" (EdFest).

I can't believe someone's actually reading this, how cool is that! Do you reckon they'll go and see the show if I tell them a bit about me? Who are you talking to? Winner Silver BBC Radio 1 Student Radio Award for Creativity. As seen and heard on BBC Wales, Comic Relief, and Talk Radio. I'd say what the show's about but I'm running out of space here.

Avant-garde double act. David Anthony Whiskey tries, through stand-up, to engage the audience (and Mÿlk) in an open discussion on personal relationships, politics and society. Mÿlk is more concerned with ancient rituals to consort with ageless gods. A battle of questionably good vs definitely evil.

Körper questions the unconscious way most of us live our lives. We all have our own different rituals which serve to reaffirm our idea of self and nurse our ego, but we rarely stop to consider what we actually base our choices on. Are we really in control of who we grow up to be? What made us who we are, and what happens if we don't conform to the expectations of society?

CONTEMPORARY

What do we do in a world where the human experience is so conditioned to endure abuse and suffering? Using dance and spoken word, 'Sullied' challenges us to deconstruct the politics around our bodies and to interrogate the effects that patriarchal ideologies, rape and misogyny has on the human psyche. Gold Ovation Award winner at the National Arts Festival South Africa 2018.

A one-woman show, following a 1950s bachelorette on her journey to find out what it truly means to be lovable. Set to your favourite 1950s hits, actor and writer Carly Jurman entertains with dance, unconventional courtship techniques and a slew of physical romps in this "honest, revealing and highly enjoyable show" (Theatre Fullstop).

"I was 19 when I had an abortion. Looking back, I think it was a self-destructive attempt to make someone love me more. It didn't work. The prick!" 'All Aboard! At Termination Station' is a comedy cabaret (or summin' like that) and asks the question: Have you ever just closed your eyes and hoped that it'll all just go away? This is a bracing, booming and brash exploration of pro-choice.

Bobby works on Woolies' record counter. Ralph dreams of being a teacher. One kiss and they're hooked. But it's 1967 and their love is illegal. A National Octagon prizewinner.

Girl and Gorilla live, handcuffed, in a world of patriarchal gaze. Girl is shaved; Gorilla is hairy. This is a problem - one which they can't solve easily. Klein Blue presents this hugely popular show, breaking apart the taboo of female body hair with clown-like playfulness and infectious energy.

The story of an audacious carer in a residential care home. With an inspection looming, Gem is caught in the eye of the storm, battling against her mischievous clients, ridiculous management and mounds of paperwork. Absolute nightmare.

PROMENADE

Award-winning musical-comedy duo, the makers of 'A History of Horror', are back with their second addition to the Cinebra anthology. Glenda and Rita are two actresses from the golden era of cinema immortalised in black and white, both struggling to find work in this brutal, unforgiving technicolor world. "Cleverly written and magically performed" (Reviews Hub).

Set in what was once a drying field, 'Clean' tells the tales of seven women in the Laundry Hill area of Brighton from 1870-2020. It explores local history and themes of mental illness, abuse, sexuality, suffrage and sistership, highlighting how much has changed, and hasn't, in 150 years.

MUSICAL THEATRE

Eight young adults with learning disabilities, but lots of experience in music, performing and acting. Recently featured at a film festival and performed at the Brighton Dome in our street dance crew! We've been working with a drama-therapist to devise a piece involving our own ideas, interests and talent. Come and let us take you on a journey involving our favourite characters.

Four lives intertwine over the course of four and a half years in this densely-plotted, stinging look at modern love, betrayal and jealousy. Directed by Lauren Varnfield ("electric" - Plays International). Pretty Villain were Brighton Fringe award-winners in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. www.rialtotheatre.co.uk

Hysteria by Terry Johnson

Ariel Company Theatre [GB]

TRAGEDY

12+

FUNNY

In '#YOLO', Jack gets blind-sided by a revelation about his health, getting propelled into an adult world. In 'Tomorrow I'll be Happy', Darren is killed in a homophobic hate crime and we learn that all is not as it first seems.

Sigmund Freud meets Salvador Dali, and the result is comedy chaos. The serious world of real life and death, the world of art, science and the human mind is swept up in the crazy world of theatrical farce. A play that's always sparkling and witty, but also touches the heart.

Have you ever thought "Wow, I could push that person in front of that train". Dismantling the myth that OCD is just a quirky personality trait, a short play incorporating stand-up comedy, physical theatre and real life experiences.

Is Sally Bowles a sophisticated thrill-seeker or vulnerable innocent abroad? She's certainly a fascinating mass of contradictions. The play that 'Cabaret' is based on, with all the divine decadence of 1931 Berlin. But soon the carefree indulgence will end as the Nazis smash their way to power. www.bluedeviltheatre.co.uk

For Jacques, the journey from cradle to grave is fraught, but, in our show, Jacques finally gets to see the possibility of hope and life-force in the face of certain death. Entertaining. Thought-provoking. Funny. With music, dance, drama, drumming.

A funny and contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare's famous soliloquy, from Mam's point of view! This entertaining and moving piece will take you on a journey through the highs and lows of motherhood, from childbirth to cabbage leaves, homework, outer space, fashion wars, ageing and beyond.

PERFORMANCE ART

People always ask me, "What's it like inside your head?" Well... it's easier if I show you. Using spoken-word poetry, home video footage and a hip-hop-inspired soundtrack, 'Sisterson Foods' is a brutally honest testimonial of a young man's continual struggle with mental health.

'Sleeping Beauty' is a participatory performance that approaches sexuality through power and role play. The performance offers an opportunity to carry out fantasies with a 'sleeping' person. The participant can choose to be either the sleeper or the visitor, and bring accessories or props to their liking. www.todellisuus.fi

An impromptu gathering of six friends reveal secrets and truths that convey the superficial nature of their friendship. Eventually, the final truth emerges which shocks us all. The consequences are catastrophic. Essentially, the message is this: that no matter how hard we try to keep secrets hidden, especially dark ones, the truth will always come out in the end.

Two stories. An English man moves from London to rural Ireland for love. But it's the 1980s and, when tragedy strikes, he finds he has precious few rights. In 1970s Dublin, an ambitious civil servant finds her career threatened by blackmail. Does she just submit? Or fight back? Winners of the National GALA Award for Irish Arts and Literature 2017.

PUPPETRY

It's 1984 and the author of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', Douglas Adams, is in trouble. Famously bad with deadlines, Adams has been banished to a London hotel by his publisher to finish his new book, already months late. But with a whole universe of distractions - including a talking plastic duck who seems to know a worrying amount about him - finishing the book seems infinitely improbable...

An alternative coming of age story about the friendship between a girl, an octopus and two goldfish. Puppets, masks, and live music. "Funny, subversive, deeply philosophical and beautiful" (Fringe Review), "Heartfelt, anarchic theatre at its best" (Queer Puppets Cabaret), "Full of charm and creativity" (Broadway Baby).

There's a nose on the loose in the city, and it's not the only one. The Purveyors of Found Noses are on their scent, ready to reunite lost owners with their wayward nostrils. Some noses are easy; others lie dusty on the rack for years. In the end, all the owners have to do is try on the noses and the rest will reveal itself. Funny, poetic and riotous. GB Met actors with an original show inspired by Gogol's 'The Nose.'

A play about friendship, life, the terrifying feeling of trying to make sense of it all, and how a simple, seemingly insignificant action, can have an effect that reverberates throughout time.

We will also be showcasing creative work from the residents of Hyman Fine House, care home. The event is suitable for people living with dementia or disability and their carers.

Open to all, the Martlets Good Grief event is for anyone who has experienced loss, or would like to understand more about grief. This is an uplifting day where you can meet with counsellors and local support groups. There is also practical advice on rituals to help you with loss.

Join us for a dance and physical workshop like no other. To discover yourself. Is there only one truth, only one way of being male and one way of being female? One way to dress, to impress and one way to be successful? Is money the one thing that measures it all? Is there only one system to follow, one direction to go, one winner? Only one goal? Only one view, one opinion, one identity? Only one body?
