The fourth Camden Fringe took place from the 3rd to the 30th of August 2009 and included 399 performances of 120 different shows across 4 Camden venues. Ticket sales were up 84% on the previous year.
The Camden Fringe aims to give anyone the chance to perform and showcase their talents. We put together an electic mix of acts and performance including new writing, stand-up, children's shows, storytelling, twisted classics, a bit of poetry, musicals, dance, sketch comedy and magic. We like to keep prices low for both our performers and our audiences but keep excitement high.
The next Camden Fringe will take place from the 2nd - the 29th of August 2010 and we are already busy cooking up plans to make our fifth fringe the biggest and best one yet. If you are interested in performing we'll be taking applications from the start of January via this website. Put it in your diaries.
Here are some nice things that the press have said about us:
"An increasingly important platform for experimental new work: in true fringe spirit you can bank on encountering imagination that's run riot and the odd undiscovered gem" Metro
"Edinburgh's mighty Fringe may be of international repute, but its rival in the south is gaining in confidence with every year. This rapidly growing festival serves as something on an incubator for it's rival, attracting and fostering a host of new talent each year. Want to find the Ricky Gervais, Stewart Lee or Jimmy Carr of tomorrow? Look no further" Shortlist
"There is something for everyone, from shows featuring senior citizens to shows for children" Evening Standard
"So much to see, such spirit and giddy, glorious, fringetastic new work packed into the programme" Londonist
"A heady mix of experimental theatre, comedy and improv" Time Out
"A David has emerged to challenge the Edinburgh Goliath: the Camden Fringe" The Guardian
