| The Scene X Camden Fringe - Here's To The Ladies! | 24 Jul 2026 | 00:16:54 | |
We all know the names Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, and other male songwriters who shaped the growth of American popular song in the early 1900’s. But where are the women’s names? Here’s to the Ladies! pays tribute to the talent, wit, and vision of the women who helped shape what has become known as The Great American Songbook. Kay Swift, Dorothy Fields and Ann Ronell are some of the most influential. These women brought a unique vision and heart to their music and helped an entire nation to endure years of war, depression, upheaval and change with music that is still loved around the world. With persistence, talent, and sheer love of the art, these women broke down countless barriers, opening doors for future women in the music industry. Conceived & Created by Performed by Music Director Choreographer/ A.D Showings: Upstirs at the Gatehouse, London, N6 4BD | |||
| The Scene X Camden Fringe - I'm A Philosopher, Why The Fu*k Am I Here? | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:23:23 | |
The good folks at Make My Show bring you interactive, lip-sync, musical comedy pastiche of reality TV called, ‘I’m a Philosopher! Why the Fuck am I Here?’. The show is an anarchic, funny and frivolous reimagining of a certain, well-known, jungle-based reality gameshow; but instead of being populated by a bunch of D-List ‘celebrities’ ours features some of the worlds greatest intellectuals (and Jordan Perterson). Think of swapping Danny Dyer and Katie Price for Jean Jacques Rousseau and Judith Butler. And it’s fully interactive, so where they get to sing, dance and squabble; you get to vote on who gets evicted and who has to eat the ostrich eyeballs. It’s like a cross between the irreverent humour ‘Oh, Mary!’ and the wordplay of Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, but with you deciding what happens – this show is never the same twice.You might even get a bit-part as one of the watching philosophers (if you’ve ever fancied playing Plato, Simone de Beauvoir or Karl Marx - here's your chance.) It’s directed by Maddie Hurley, who infuses it with their experience of lip-sync cabaret and stars Senne Lambrechts (as ‘JJ’ Rousseau), Oscar Nicholson (as ‘Tommy’ Hobbes), Laura Shipler Chico (as Ayn ‘Randy’ Rand, ‘Judy’ Butler and the Bear!) and Will Robertson (as ‘Pete’ Singer and ‘Jordo’ Peterson). Movement and choreography are directed by Angela Botha and our assistant director, Jess Beith, also takes a cameo role. The play was written by Roger Francis and is being performed at The Cockpit in Marylebone on the 13th, 14th and 15th of August at 9pm | |||
| The Scene X Camden Fringe - Wilder! | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:18:41 | |
Wilder! is a fast-paced, absurd dark comedy; think Desperate Housewives meets The Play That Goes Wrong meets Bonnie and Clyde. “Set in a town fiercely ruled by its housewives, the story follows Gloria and Gregory Wilder, a glamorous young couple who seem to have it all. But beneath their picture-perfect life lies a deadly secret, one that could cost them everything. As they navigate the highs and lows of marriage, the Wilders must outwit nosy neighbours, gossip-fuelled streets, and an endless barrage of garden club invitations. In a community where appearances are everything, staying unnoticed may be their greatest challenge of all.” Wilder! is written and produced by Thomas Billiouw & Dany Van Brabant who also play the leads of Gregory and Gloria Wilder. The rest of the cast includes Evie Weldon as Martha Hoover, Jess-Vince Moin as Phyllis Amberhide, and Kgalalelo Thakadu as Sheryl-Anne Bowman. The production is directed by Jillian Osborne, with fight choreography by Becca Watkin, Amy Marsden as set designer, Ella Shaw as cultural consultant. We're a very international cast & crew with members from Wales, Ireland, Belgium, Botswana, the U.S., and Australia. That mix is reflected in the play itself, since it’s set in a town that isn’t tied to any one physical place. It’s an idyllic suburb that could exist anywhere, reflecting our natural mix of accents. This piece focuses on giving audiences a genuinely good time, combining playful staging with juicy, character-driven chaos, and plenty of twists and turns along the way. With Wilder!, we aim to create a show that surprises, entertains, and leaves audiences giggling, gasping, and gossiping all the way home. | |||
| The Scene X Camden Fringe - Steaks and Lesbians | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:12:33 | |
The show follows Stevie (Ryley Pennycard) and River (Billie Billington) , two best friends living in London. Stevie is an aspiring writer and River an aspiring actor. We follow them as they navigate the first lesbian heartbreak, social media’s views on love and their own personal emotional chaos all while trying to cook the perfect steak dinner. Amity as a company aims to offer real representation on stage, we believe in listening to others experiences and offering a space for it to be seen. We want people to have the chance to share their stories and have theatre that accurately portrays them and their experiences.
We started writing this show at 2AM in our student flat, two years ago and we have worked on it ever since, blending in new experiences, new emotions and new friendships and now we are ready to share it. Inspired by the friendships we made as we navigated our adulthood and identities, the friendships we had shaped us and gave us days of laughter we will never forget. We wanted to share this and turn it into something everyone can enjoy with us.

| The Scene X Camden Fringe - The Dance Plague of 1518 | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:10:55 | |
SO CATCHY IT’S CONTAGIOUS. Hamilton. Six. Cats. All musicals based on historical events. Four struggling ‘Theatre In Education’ actors decide to cash in on this trend and stage a musical retelling of histories weirdest phenomenon- “The Dance Plague of 1518”. The only catch: they know nothing about “The Dance Plague of 1518”. Their ‘educational’ show tells the story of Princess Frau, who escapes the confines of her castle to Strasbourg- a depressing little village in need of a bath. She takes it upon herself to ignite a spark within the community, but unknowingly ignites the infamous ‘Dance Fever’- a deadly disco disease beyond anyone’s control. Is a higher power at play? Will her father, King Francis, track her down? Is the Pope catholic? All will be revealed in the first disastrous musical from Tickel & Trotman. 'THE DANCE PLAGUE OF 1518' received stellar reviews from it's sellout preview in February: "COMPLETELY STUPID, IN THE MOST CHARMING SENSE."- A Youngish Perspective- 4/5 "TICKEL AND TROTMAN HAVE CREATED A HILARIOUS MUSICAL."- Everything Theatre- 4/5 CAST: Finn Tickel Sam Trotman Harrison Macdonald-Taylor Caoimhe De Brun Creatives: Book, Music and Lyrics: Finn Tickel & Sam Trotman Associate Producer: Teresa Morrison Set Designer: Noga Gilboa Costume Designer: Sirry Johannsdottir Choreographer: Aniella Charalambous Lighting Designer: Harry Heslop | |||
| The Scene X Camden Fringe - Sevrin Fay | 20 Jul 2026 | 00:19:13 | |
Sevrin Fay presents a rare performance "Your faith is written - now hear it sung" that transforms Eastern-European dream-folk tradition into original English-language dark fairy tales of magic, forbidden love and loss. Of particular interest is fortune telling. At the entrance to the hall, each visitor will draw a rune—a magical Scandinavian symbol—that is intended exclusively for them. During the concert, each rune will be deciphered. What will it mean? A vision of the future? Good advice? A revealed secret? Only you will know. This is how the world speaks to us in a quiet and secret voice. Every song is a self-contained story, evoking misty forests, forgotten kingdoms and the bittersweet edge of wonder. The poetic lyrics explore the fragility of beauty and the redemptive power of unconditional love. With ethereal vocals, acoustic guitar, subtle percussion and accordion, the Sevrin Fay creates deeply cinematic and immersive soundscapes where shadowy Celtic knots intertwine with introspective indie-folk. Sevrin Fay is not a covers band or a generic folk project. It is the first English-language incarnation of a distinctive dream-folk universe that Ekaterina Gopenko has been developing for 18 years across Europe. An authentic Eastern-European narrative tradition, performed in English for the first time in the UK.

| The Scene X Camden Fringe - The Vampire Run | 19 Jul 2026 | 00:20:15 | |
Following successful runs at the Lambeth and Brighton Fringes, Marrowbones presents the Edinburgh preview of the interactive horror comedy The Vampire Run at the Camden Fringe. Find it on the 6th August, 9:30pm at Aces & Eights. A dark and stormy night. A vampire’s castle outlined by lightning. An hour to find and kill the dreaded fiend. And one idiot trying to manage the escalating chaos. Join a fast-paced, hilariously deadly choose-your-own adventure. Three players at a time must decide how to approach a variety of obstacles to reach the vampire’s chamber, BUT one of the players is evil and the audience must decide who before it’s too late. This is the debut solo show from award winning writer and performer Jonathan Laury (Best Comedy, Unrestricted View Film Festival 2019). Think something like Knightmare meets Traitors, hosted by the lovechild of Vincent Price and Alex Horne. It’s a comedy, it’s a horror, it’s a game, it’s a show! And it’s definitely the most fun you can have dying horribly. Audiences have described The Vampire Run as “Brilliant, slick, funny, 10/10”, “An instant Fringe classic”, and ‘My favourite theatrical experience of the year.” It debuted at the Lambeth Fringe 2025, where it was shortlisted for the Glitch award. Following the Aces & Eights show, The Vampire Run is heading to Edinburgh where it will run nightly from 12th August at Home Bar at 9:15pm as part of the Free Festival. 18+ (due to venue restrictions), contains strong language and graphic descriptions of death.
Marrowbones specialises in dark and stormy nights and in one lit window high up in an imposing mansion. They create shows for stage and audio with a strong sense of the gothic, from live interactive comedy horror to narrative eerie podcasts. They’re a queer friendly, trans-inclusive company who believe that everyone should be able to enjoy being scared silly. https://www.marrowbonesproductions.co.uk/ | |||
| The Scene X Camden Fringe - Together In The End | 17 Jul 2026 | 00:18:12 | |
Together in the End is a gripping new two-hander by Niall McCarthy, presented by NCProductions and premiering at Camden Fringe 2026. Where does love go when the world explodes? When a holiday in the South of France is interrupted by an existential global threat, Adam and Lily are forced to confront the questions they've spent years avoiding. As the outside world edges towards catastrophe, old arguments resurface, private fears emerge, and the stories they've built around their relationship begin to unravel. Blending sharp humour with emotional honesty, Together in the End explores love under pressure, the weight of history, and our need to find meaning when everything else feels uncertain. Staged as an intimate, actor-led production, the play strips away distractions to focus on two people facing the unimaginable. Urgent, challenging and deeply human, it asks a simple but profound question: if everything ended tomorrow, who would you choose to face it with? Produced by North London-based NCProductions, the company continues its mission to champion bold new writing that engages directly with contemporary life. Drawing on experience across theatre, film and live events, NCProductions brings cinematic precision, striking visuals and emotionally driven storytelling to the stage.

| The Scene duz Lambeth Fringe - This Wasn't The Plan | 05 Oct 2025 | 00:18:34 | |
The Scene gets up close to some of the artists and perfomers taking part in this years Lambeth Fringe. Offering up sneak previews of a few choice shows, and insights in to the purpose and process that bring these pieces to life. Our show is a tapestry of our experiences as women of colour in our early 30s — navigating identity, illness, love, and the messy art of self-acceptance, one failure at a time. Iman is a psychiatrist-turned-comedian who can’t drive, won’t run, and once developed a deeply questionable tap dancing habit. From accidental real estate disasters to unintentionally faking a pregnancy for social reasons, her life is a parade of chaos, confusion, and unexpected public appearances (including 1/10 of a second in a Dove ad). Whether she’s navigating strange incidents at work, using the love languages quiz as DIY couples therapy, or failing to recognise people she’s definitely met, Iman turns her misadventures into brutally honest, self-deprecating storytelling — sharp, hilarious, and just a little unhinged. Stuti is a rising comedic voice serving sharp cultural commentary with a generous dose of self-deprecating wit. Navigating turning 30, gym guilt, Instagram milestones, chaotic weddings, and the quirks of cross-cultural life, she champions radical self-acceptance with both heart and hilarity. Whether she’s ranking brides like it’s a sport or casually unpacking her health issues on stage, Stuti brings a millennial desi lens to life’s absurdities — with candour, charm, and zero patience for LinkedIn energy.

| The Scene duz Lambeth Fringe - The Dying Wish | 29 Sep 2025 | 00:14:49 | |
The Scene gets up close to some of the artists and perfomers taking part in this years Lambeth Fringe. Offering up sneak previews of a few choice shows, and insights in to the purpose and process that bring these pieces to life. The Dying Wish This bold new tragicomedy by Brazilian writer Mauro Fazion combines dark comedy with raw realism to hold up a mirror to our collective contradictions. While the play’s style is not strictly realistic, its content is deeply rooted in truth. As Mauro says: “It’s so deeply realistic, it looks like nonsense.” Using absurdist dialogue, surreal scenarios, and clownesque theatricality, the play exposes the cracks in our systems of justice, bureaucracy, and institutionalised violence. Set in a crumbling execution chamber, two hangmen, Rooney and Ingmar, wrestle with increasingly nonsensical orders as they prepare to hang Paul Freeman, a man condemned for ambiguous “crimes”, that reveal more about a broken system than the convict himself. Inspired by real events and steeped in the spirit of Brecht, Ionesco, Arrabal, and the Theatre of the Absurd, the play is both biting satire and haunting human drama. As one reviewer put it: “This is the theatre we want to see.” Produced by Fractured Time Productions, this daring new writing invites audiences to think, feel, and question the world around them, proof that timeless, provocative theatre still has the power to change us.
