SUMMARY:Colchester Fringe – Adam Larter: Who Remembers the 90s?
DESCRIPTION:Not a lot has been written about the decade ‘the nineties’ and so Adam Larter will FINALLY try to get to the bottom of what happened in this decade. Expect well researched journalism and not a load of surreal nonsense. \n“One of the most stupidly brilliant things you”ll see this Fringe.” Fest \n“There’s certainly plenty to look at and for a lot of the time the audience is entranced by the sheer volume of physical chaos happening on and off the stage.” The Scotsman \n“Looking more like Andy Kaufman than ever.” Chortle \nDirected by Ali Brice \n*Please note there is no lift to access the top floor of Three Wise Monkeys. There are five flights of hand-railed stairs to reach the top floor with rest opportunities between each flight. Also\, their licensing does not allow anyone under the age of 18 years of age to be in the venue past 9pm. Please consider this when booking.

SUMMARY:Colchester Fringe – Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts)
DESCRIPTION:THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING\, INTENSELY CONTROVERSIAL\, AND CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED COMEDY (of sorts) RETURNS TO COLCHESTER FRINGE. \nColchester Fringe invites the world’s leading lecturers to give talks on the issues that matter. That’s why Professor Handler David is excited to give a lecture on the kink of pup play and teach Colchester how to turn their bitchboys into good boys. What begins as a traditional lecture quickly transcends labels through stand-up\, homonormative puppets\, punk music\, gay sex\, and multimedia visuals to become a emotionally provocative and boldly introspective reflection on queer identity. “Filled with Puppy Power” (Watermark News)\, Pup Play “has a heart the size of Clifford the Big Red Dog.” (Broadway World) \nNoah Alfred Pantano writes and stars. He has been described by critics as “immeasurably talented” (Broadway World)\, “sharp\, quick\, and uncompromising” (GSCENE)\, and “bold\, brazen and stratospherically cheeky\, concealing beneath the girth of energy a good heart and a probing mind.” (Lost in Theatreland). Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. \nPup Play has won five awards and tours around the world raising over $1400+ (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities.The show features music by Jake and the Nowhere\, Alan Xtra\, and Tungsten Lungs.The profits from this performance will be donated to a local Colchester LGBTQ+ charity.Pup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio\, MessyPup\, BoboBear\, Sent With Pride\, and Essex Startups. \n*Please note there is no lift to access the top floor of Three Wise Monkeys. There are five flights of hand-railed stairs to reach the top floor with rest opportunities between each flight. Also\, their licensing does not allow anyone under the age of 18 years of age to be in the venue past 9pm. Please consider this when booking.

SUMMARY:Colchester Fringe - The Cult Kid and Me: My Villain Origin Story
DESCRIPTION:The Cult Kid and Me: My Villain origin story. \nRaised in the Petri dish of fundamentalist belief\, marinating in guilt and shame and the ever present threat of doomsday our cult poet was once a kid\, cut into tiny pieces. Separated entirely from himself and living on a lifeboat. A family caught in the farty fumes of a long dead snake oil salesman living a sheltered life of routines\, rituals\, rights and indoctrination. Gaslit by cherry picked bible verses and squashed into photocopied versions of themselves. The cult poet started his escape with jokes and nonsense\, penned poetry and verse\, daisy chains\, crumbs\, search parties back to himself . This is the cult kid and me\, the ultimate villain origin story\, the poet beefing with god and society. The poets journey from the confines of cultish mind control to freedom and a reunion with his true self.
