nge P iinnkk F rriinge Following on from the success of our Pride 2011 event (Parade Protest Perform), the powers that be have summoned Pink Fringe to put on the most exciting and eclectic programme of queer culture that we could muster for 2012. Whoever you are, whatever you like, we’ve been thinking of you. Diverse, fun and a little unhinged it’s totally Brighton (& Hove).

does P r i de We have some of the hottest talents on show including London’s Lip Sinkers, Liverpool’s Julie McNamara and Brighton’s very own Le Gateau Chocolat.

Pink Fringe makes starling queer culture for short attention spans all year round.

Starring B ette B ourne & Paul S haw, Le Gateau Chocolat, Julie McNamara , Fancy C hance & Timblerina

Hosted by Timberlina - Tim Redfern’s shambolic comedy creation - the evening promises titillating tall-tales told and juicy secrets shared as the five acts explore the concept of keeping secret lives and identities... whether for fun or by necessity.

Part cabaret, part theatre, part knees up with a chance to let it all hang out, each act will tackle the theme in their own inimitable style.

Peterborough Joel Horwood, creator of the highly-acclaimed I Caught Crabs in Walberswick, has come up with a darkly comic show which takes the form of a chaotic cabaret act fronted by Lulu a big bloke with a thirty-something son, six-inch heels, a dodgy wig and a riveting tale to tell.

LipSinkers

The father and son double-act are Peterborough born and bred. Both brought up in this overlooked city best known for its brickworks, railway station and passport office.

Underscored by sounds of the 70s & 80s this is a story of snogging at the lido, wedgies in the school bogs and biro tattoos.

Characters

One performer. Two vintage banjoleles. Four ‘trouser-wearing characters’. Fifteen ‘cameo’ characters. Seven songs.

Back by popular demand, writer and performer Rose Collis returns with her critically-acclaimed Trouser-Wearing Characters. An original entertainment mixing music, history and comedy, Rose sheds light on some of her favourite, eclectic ‘trouser-wearing characters’, from 50s media star Nancy Spain to masquerader ‘Colonel’ Victor Barker, cabaret legend Douglas Byng to the ‘f**king lady’ herself, actress Coral Browne. “***** Outstanding Show” FringeReview

Naked

As the TV show reemerges from the dark depths of the 80s, here’s Dallas like you would not believe...

Sue Ellen’s going crazy. JR is doubledealing. Pamela is still a Barnes girl.

But where’s Lucy? Dallas is back – but this time with bigger wigs, higher heels, more gin and poppers.

Re-live the greatest prime-time TV soap opera out of Texas.

STARK DALLAS NAKED! Hold on to your hat.
