In the Bally tent at Gluttony they produce a somewhat bizarre show where buffoonery and brilliance are mixed and matched in equal portions with inspiration and incompetence. This is all the greatest of fun. 4K

Up a flight of inconspicuous stairs lit with electric candles, down a seemingly endless prison-beige hallway resides The Birdcage, the most beautiful condemned cinema you will ever see. Radiohead’s Creep fills the cavernous space. Pastel coloured metal folding chairs line the shallow stepped stairs, the shrieking scrapes as they are pulled out and shuffled around …

Freefall Town Hall 4.5K

Lineup

Freefall is an acrobatic based show which, using sarcastic and awkward comic undertones, explores the subject of fear. From the instant the lights go up, the stage is a flurry of movement.

FRINGE 2013 – The Candy Butchers – Garden – 4.5K

Candy Butchers

With a strong finale of theatrical acrobatics, eerie sounds and dark emotions that creates a mood akin to a piece of H.P. Lovecraft pulp fiction, The Candy Butchers is an act that definitely speaks for itself and will bring you to your feet, whilst simultaneously leaving you to beg the question: What the hell did I just see? 4.5K
