Fringe beginnings

My very first show in London was at a fringe venue – the garden of the Eagle Pub in Vauxhall. It was right after the first lockdown and the entire city, entire country was just wanting a sense of normalcy and hope.

Our little show, Fanny and Stella The Shocking True Story, ran at the venue to a socially distanced audience for a month. It was funny, raucous, zany and just gave the audience just that bit of escape that the world so needed. We were the only show running in the country and it felt really special. It might not have been the West End, but that was my London debut and it introduced me to the industry. I remain very grateful for that experience.

Why the fringe?

Fringe theatres are the bloodveins that keep the UK theatre scene pulsing and living. In fringe theatre you get brave producers, creatives and performers who are willing to take risks all in the spirit of theatre making. Trying out new material, new works in nontraditional venues.
