Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe show follows Dr Bubble as his puppet Milkshake comes alive - across the hour they discover that to have good friends you must be a good friend. The pair are seamless - picking up issues and adapting in the moment (bubbles are fickle) and with joy and character. The show is non-verbal so accessibility is impressive. The physicality and clowning from the duo is a joy to watch and again slick and professional.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteTelevision 1 is the brand new debut show for Joe Pearson & Rory Cargill, a character comedy sketch show which takes the audience through TV programming of the 20th Century. Starting with a Alfreds Astonishing Adventures and taking us through to an embarrassing body sketch the pair hit on all the pop culture shows that made TV what it is.
Reading Time: 2 minutesLena is an activist but the way she’s going about is by trying to convert her tinder dates? The premise is solid, with the show opening with relatable dating stories until the reveal is ushered in. Lena (Bibi Lucille) targets meat eating dates and then converts them to veganism with unsolicited physical touch and facts and figures - her most recent let down being a date who was already vegan. What a waste.
Reading Time: 3 minutesINVASION! is being put on as part of Camden Fringe and is created by the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society (CUMTS), with the show being written and directed by Jonathan Powell and Jasper Robin, and composed by Lily Blundell.

Reading Time: 3 minutesGlobal warming. Draught. Pollution. War. The ever-present threat of nuclear destruction. Crisis after crisis. The end has been neigh time and time again. Halley’s comet didn’t get us, 2013 arrived and proved the Mayans wrong, and the days of social distancing are over (let's hope for good). But what happens when the apocalypse finally arrives? And what if you’re the only one left?
Reading Time: 2 minutesFaulty Towers the Dining Experience offers an uproarious homage to the timeless 70s sitcom, Fawlty Towers, while transforming the restaurant ambiance into an immersive stage. Presented by Interactive Theatre International, this dinner-show delivers an unforgettable evening of laughter, driven by impeccable character portrayals, brilliant improvisation, and a wave of nostalgic hilarity that leaves guests thoroughly entertained.
Reading Time: 3 minutesConfetti is an (almost) one man show written by and starring Will Jackson as the outrageously camp events coordinator Felix.
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s hard to find a starting sentence that quite sums up the experience of Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image the Musical. Spawned from the well loved satirical TV first aired in the 80’s the show takes all the well known political and celebrities pundits of our generation and throws them into this circus.
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe absurdity of the title of this show, mixing the high brow world of opera with the low brow world of hook up apps, made me really interested to see this show. As a previous winner of ‘Best New Musical’ at the Off West End Awards I had high hopes, but also no idea what sort of show I would actually be seeing.
Reading Time: 3 minutesFriday night at the cosy Camden’s Peoples Theatre was the perfect time and location for this absurd chip shop odyssey. The stage was an incredibly bare bar: a small white table with bell atop stage right; an even smaller white table stage left; and a large white freezer centre upstage.
