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.

NORMANS ARK - How far can two men in a room travel? Is it a road to nowhere? Or the trip of a lifetime? Norman hasn’t left his room in over 30 years — he has a head‑full of stories, some true, many not, all of them slightly confused that he shares with a lonely van driver named Tom. Gritty, human, and darkly funny.

“I hold my breath…
I hold my breath until my chest heaves and my lungs scream
and my body pushes me up for air. Then I hold my breath
again.”
If Not Me is a darkly comic psychological exploration of
obsession, faith and the grip of delusion, written and
performed by Boo Jackson (Imagine Me & You, Safe Haven
at Arcola Theatre).
If you want something
to happen, you have
to make it
happen.
If not me, who?

About This Event
16th September 7.30pm £19.50
Abrasion is a hilarious and vital one-woman show, written by and starring up-and-coming talent Meg-Rose Dixon, as our heroine reflects on her diagnosis journey on the anniversary of her surgery. Abrasion is a side-splitting and eye-watering tour de force (and those aren’t just the symptoms) tackling the all-too-common tale of women’s struggles to be heard in the health sphere. With women’s health issues frequently ignored by doctors and health professionals, this is an urgent, funny look at the battle to be believed and to gain an insight into our bodies.
A dark comedy filled with turbulent embarrassing moments, Abrasion is full of comical twists and turns. The show laughs in the face of pain while shedding light on a condition that affects 1.5 million people, but shockingly has an average diagnosis wait time of 7.5 years. The verbatim anecdotes highlight the importance of patient care, the terrible doctors, and a few genuine heroes.
Audience participation. Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes. Strong language/swearing.
