Camden Fringe

Caroline had a pretty typical childhood. Her younger brother, who has autism, did not. In her latest show, Caroline looks back at their upbringing in Northern Ireland, with 45 minutes of jokes, stories and silliness.

The New Comedian of the Year finalist and co-creator of Crizards (**** The Guardian) uncurls from his sleeping spot in the airing cupboard to ponder life’s most pressing issues: the decline of civilisation, the degradation of the natural world, and the dwindling acceptance of invitations to his birthday barbeques.

Hey guys, it’s another show from Nick Elleray, which means jokes and talking and oh god why am I pretending you’re not just going to look at some clips online and base your decision on that? That’s what I’d do. You go do that and I’ll crack on with writing a funny show.

At some point in every woman’s life, she realises she’s madder than all hell. Yep, well – let’s get started… The Mash Report, Taskmaster and Live at the Apollo star, and voice of Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, brings a work-in-progress comedy hour to the Camden Fringe examining various masks that are starting to slip: the identities of her countries (USA and UK), her body, youth, and memory. As someone who’s narrowly escaped giving life and experiencing death, she’s the right voice for these very wrong times. ‘Near-perfect’ (Standard).

Rip-roaring, off-the-wall stand-up from one of the silliest people I know. A joyful, angry, thoughtful show about getting older and owning up to who you really are. However disastrous that may be. This is a work in progress. But aren’t we all?

DILLON & OLLY: ALIENS HATE OUR JOKES is a small-scale Edinburgh Fringe standup show.
After comedians Dillon Harris & Olly Miller accidentally tell the “worst joke in the Universe”, they summon aliens from the intergalactic joke federation, who threaten to blow up the Earth unless they can deliver an hour of solid standup.

Professional oddball Paul F Taylor returns to Camden Fringe with a brand new show. See quirky one-liners, one-man sketches, improvised nonsense and much much more (but probably just that). As seen on Channel 4 and heard on Radio 4.

“Brilliantly funny nonsense” ★★★★ – The List.

“Should be required viewing for all wannabe surrealists” ★★★★ – The Skinny.

“Paul F Taylor is going to rear a cult following of those with refined senses of humour, and you should join us” ★★★★ – ThreeWeeks.

“Delicious musings … . Very funny” ★★★★ – Metro.

“Kill to get a ticket, but remember to dispose of the body” Harry Hill.

Two best friends devise a plan to invite guys over for a spicy appointment… but the boys never make it out. By taking control of their sexuality, these girl bosses plan to defeat the patriarchy, one incel at a time.

F*ck Toys is a new play using stand-up comedy to explore sex, patriarchy, queerness, and if you can be feminist and remain friends. After a sell-out preview at the Cervantes Theatre in 2023, F*ck Toys is back with a new name and ready to slay *snaps*.

This show is for anyone who feels pressured to make active change under a patriarchy. This show is for anyone who wants to find the answer to racism. This show is for anyone who wants to feel empowered in their body and their sexuality, and this show is for anyone who wants to have a huge belly laugh or even a loud guffaw or two after a long day at work.

Grab your girlie pop bestie and come rage about the patriarchy with us. There will be blood. Get ready.
