Thought you wouldn't be able to see any grownup shows at the Brighton Fringe this year because you have a baby? Think again! It's hard to get out to see live comedy when you're a parent, and it can be expensive and nerve-wracking organising a babysitter. Gold Top, presented by Pram Jam Comedy, is a daytime comedy gig where you can bring the baby along too, so there's no need to miss out! Comedian and mum of two Zoe Thorne will ensure plenty of laughs as she talks about the trials and tribulations of parenting and childbirth, and you can feel like a grownup out on the town again. But you're ...

Madame Isolde sees your future and it’s chaotic. Expect comedy, cabaret and complimentary astrology as this delightfully deranged hostess leads a night of variety, cosmic confusion and questionable revelations. From somewhere between 1936 and deep space, Isolde returns to deliver her Horrorscopes filled with glamour, drama and just enough doom to keep things interesting. Joined by a line up of eclectic performers, she presents a dazzling mix of cabaret delights. Equal parts absurd, camp and celestial, this is cabaret for those who prefer their future read with sequins, satire and a touch of ch...

Two comedians: one Chinese (Marco), one Arab-Kenyan (EJ). It might sound like an unlikely pairing, but one thing’s certain – they’ve both had hilarious experiences trying to make sense of the world. Expect charming storytelling, sharp one-liners and self-deprecating humour as they unpack growing up in the 90s, navigating culture, religion, sexuality and their parents. These fast-rising London comics have performed across the country – now they’re teaming up to share their stories side by side in this work in progress show. Is it perfect harmony… or a culture clash waiting to happen? ...
