Lambeth Fringe

Formerly known as Clapham Fringe, Lambeth Fringe hasn’t just undergone a rebranding but an expansion, too. Over five weeks, the south London festival will take over 23 venues in the borough, bringing with it theatre, comedy, cabaret, music and experimental performances, many of which highlight underrepresented voices. There’s a lot to catch at this year’s festival – 150 shows, to be precise – from the Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton-celebrating ‘Against The Clock’ to ‘Does Anyone Else Smell Curry?’, a triple threat of lip syncing, spoken word and dance that follows a British Asian as she tries to make sense of her identity. Elsewhere, there are shows about the plight of Korean women at the hands of the Japanese army in WWII (‘The Comfort Woman’), a dystopian battle against Andrew Lloyd Webber (‘Hello, Box Office’), the tales of real women in Colombia (‘Cassette ’93’) and much more.
