Although the core programme at Brighton Fringe came to a close on Sunday, audiences can still enjoy the festival’s extended programme, both in person and online until 11 July.

An unmissable selection of comedy, theatre, drag  and cabaret welcomes those heading to the seaside, plus an abundance of livestreamed and on demand shows can be viewed online for those unable to make the trip. 

Highlights includes Luisa Omielan’s new show God is a Woman, figuring out the meaning of life, why bad stuff happens to good people and how, collectively, do we try to heal - with dick jokes; Loyiso Gola will bring his show Pop Culture to the Fringe; and after a year 'off', Tom Ward is back, fresh, loaded and ready for the world with his new show Return of the Love Machine. And if that wasn’t enough, Shit-faced  Shakespeare are heading to Brighton with their hour-long Much Ado About Nothing and are ready to see who the drunken cast member will be next! 

Cult cabaret sensations Bourgeois & Maurice will take audiences on a hilarious, heartfelt and highly inappropriate musical journey into the strangest reaches of their minds; the ultimate drag tribute to the best girl band of this millennium, Gals Aloud have a show packed full of the biggest hits from their classic solo singles and hilarious TV  appearances – everything you ever wanted; and the Brighton Big Drag Pageant Revue will bring on stage the top ten contestants of the 2021 competition for their best, their weirdest, and their outright obscene drag for one last night of debauchery and high, very very very high, art. 

Those attending Brighton Fringe virtually can tune into OffFest Award-nominated Jerk, a funny, filthy and relatable story about addiction and shame; King Jamsheed’s Lonely Piano takes audiences on a wild ride though a soaring imagination; and Australian comedian Tania Lacy presents her show, Catch A Falling Star. 

Brighton Fringe CEO Julian Caddy said: “Brighton Fringe is different this year and we'd like to  thank everyone who has come to enjoy what is on offer, despite the challenges that we are all facing.  The core dates of the festival came to an end on 27 June however, there is still much more of  Brighton Fringe left to celebrate! A handful of venues are running extended seasons until 11 July,  plus many of our digital events will be available until then too. Restrictions remain for everyone's  safety, so please follow the guidelines set out on our website and at the venues.”
