Chaos Theory have performed at the Edinburgh Festival, Camden Fringe, the Vault Festival, the Faversham Fringe and last year's Brighton Fringe. They encourage new writing and writers can send their material in - if it's funny it might go in the show. Sketches are wide ranging varying from light and silly to dark and disturbing. But always funny! They are quite short so if one doesn't float your boat there will be another one along soon which does.

Ticket types this year are Paid, Pay What You Can and Free - this is how it works: Paid: The show is fully ticketed and you pay in advance or on the door; Pay What You Can: You can choose to buy a ticket in advanced to guarantee entry and what to pay over a minimum amount OR turn up at the venue to get in for free in any space that is left; Free: The show is free entry and can be ticketed or unticketed. Watch the show, and the performer will ask for donations at the end for those that would like to contribute.
