SUMMARY:Beating (off) Superheroes - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:In a bunker 3000 miles underground\, Captain Handler is bound\, blindfolded\, and at the mercy of his arch-enemy: The Gecko. Beaten (off) into submission and drained of his superfluids\, Captain Handler is doomed to be forever bred by the Gecko. Then Chuck enters… whom Captain Handler forgot his boyfriend invited over to rescue him… \nBeating (off) Superheroes is a raw\, kink-saturated queer comedy (of sorts) that explodes the myths of open relationships. Beating (off) Superheroes is a non-linear\, multimedia\, kinky gay sex romp with a full score by Jake & the Nowhere and Tungsten Lungs. Somewhere between roleplay and reality\, a relationship is getting rescued. Maybe. \nCaptain Handler/Bruce – Matthew ArcherThe Gecko/Clark – Noah Alfred PantanoCenturion/Chuck – Chris Tal \nColchester Fringe’s SPIRT OF THE FRINGE Noah Alfred Pantano is the writer and director. This work is part of his PhD in Theatre Studies at the University of Essex. His last play\, Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts)\, won five awards and tours around the world\, raising over $1400 (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities. Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. He is the current reigning International Mister Superhero Fetish. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. Pantano is infamous for his post in-yer-face queer theatre style\, which\, while intense\, prides itself on its radical queerness\, unusual staging\, and brutal honesty. \nChris Tal is an international actor\, choreographer\, designer\, and drag queen excited to bring bold energy to Beating (off) Superheroes. Last year\, Tal played dual roles as a German soldier and cryptographer in Colchester Fringe’s “We Will Remember Them.” Tal also worked on sound for “5th of August 1986” and is proud to be part of the Stage Craft family. Tal cannot wait to captivate audiences with a fresh\, daring performance in this super-horny play.

SUMMARY:Andrew Doherty: Sad Gay AIDS Play - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:A brand-new show from the maker of the award-winning sell-out Gay Witch Sex Cult (‘the funniest fringe horror since Garth Marenghi’ (Guardian). \nAndrew Doherty completely relaunches himself with a startling piece of groundbreaking tragic theatre. In this tragic piece that breaks new ground\, Andrew throws the book at AIDS and asks the Arts Council to pick it up. Watch Andrew take the cult out of cult hit and replace it with “financially prosperous.” \nCatch it before it gets a West End transfer\, moves to Broadway and finally HBO Max. \n“I can only regret that I saw this show so late in the Fringe that I had no possibility of returning. Andrew Doherty has created something incredible here and I will look out for his future projects.” ★★★★★ Ed Fringe Review \n“Clever\, impish\, fun… a talent to watch” Funniest Shows at the 2024 Fringe\, The TelegraphSix of The Funniest Comedians at the Fringe – The Guardian \n★★★★ Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe

SUMMARY:What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us?
DESCRIPTION:Following last year’s sell out Colchester Fringe show\, The Crunchy Frog Players\, Colchester’s leading (only) comedy sketch troupe return with another show of reimagined (and lovingly butchered) iconic sketches and songs\, designed to titillate\, tantalize\, tease and tickle and all with a distinctly local twist. Known for their Pythonesque proclivities and devotion to detail\, this show will forcibly probe Colchester’s fecund history; from its Roman roots through to a vision of a dystopian future\, via a wry look at Jane Taylor’s Twinkle. Disclaimer – other Colchester nursery rhymes are available. Allegedly. Will you be able to spot the classic sketches from the new\, original ones? There’s only one way to find out!

We invite you to join us and witness our robot sexual education through song\, puppets and a healthy amount of mad science! \nQUEER!
