Rebellion Isn't Myth. It's Protocol

The Camden Fringe was started in 2006 as an alternative to Edinburgh Fringe, offering performers the chance to perform in a festival setting without the time and money needed to take a show to Edinburgh.

We've become a key venue at the festival, each year programming a broad range of bold and innovative work for our large and versatile space throughout the month of August.

Here's what they're saying:

"Edinburgh isn’t the only place with a bursting, brilliant fringe, and indeed as the Scottish capital’s iconic event becomes ever more expensive, the once scrappy outsider Camden Fringe looks ever more like a serious contender."

Time Out, 2022

"Honestly, this performance was already outmatching any words I could ever write..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Obscure Reviews on The Circle of Everything, 2024

"All of the cast are superb... more than worth the trek from Edgware Road station." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"[I] found this production a sheer delight with a great soundtrack from start to cheeky, meta finish."

LondonTheatre1 blog and Holly Regan on Navarre, 2024

"A fabulous addition to Camden fringe, this was a fun and refreshing show to watch even in the summer heat." ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Theatre Loving Londoner blog on Rain Weaver, 2024

"This quality of the work is exactly what makes it so powerful."

Fringe Review on Because, 2024

"The Restaurant goes down like a smooth Merlot. ‘Interactive dance theatre’ was a new experience for me, and I'm glad to have been proven wrong."

Obscure Reviews on The Restaurant, 2024

"The play is staged “in-the-round” which means that it is easy to feel involved with the protagonists..."
