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:Scarred For Life - Folk Horror Special
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £16.50.Doos open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This show is for a seated audience. \nA fun and informative performance – lecture with Bob Fischer and Stephen Brotherstone. \nWhen it comes to vintage creepiness\, “Folk Horror” has become a thrilling genre in its own right. From terrifying films like The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General to the weird folklore of The Owl Service and even the gentle thrills of Worzel Gummidge\, the popular culture of the late 20th century is riddled with dark magic and eerie stone circles. And\, indeed\, a feeling that something ancient and distinctly unpleasant lies just beneath the soil.  \nSince 2017\, Stephen Brotherstone has been expertly chronicling the terrifying popular culture of the 1970s and ‘80s as co-writer of the acclaimed Scarred For Life books. Fortean Times columnist Bob Fischer\, meanwhile\, is the creator of The Haunted Generation\, a multi-media exploration of the weirder side of the 1970s childhood.  \nIn this fun but informative show\, Stephen and Bob will be unearthing the twisted\, buried artefacts of Folk Horror. Penda’s Fen\, Robin Redbreast and the BBC’s classic Ghost Stories For Christmas are all in their sights\, together with more recent additions like Midsommer and Enys Men. And\, of course\, the recently-unearthed “lost” Folk Horror classic\, Sex Witches of the Fens.  \nAfterwards there’ll be a Q&A\, so feel free to chip in with your own thoughts on the genre. And\, indeed\, to let us know if you’re concerned about the strange whistle you’ve just uncovered on the beach…  \nREVIEWS FOR THE SCARRED FOR LIFE BOOKS:  \n“A charming look back at a time when pop culture was used to scare the living daylights out of every child and adult across the land” – Louder Than War “It might just stop the nightmares” – We Are Cult “Such an engaging and fascinating read” – Horrified Magazine “Their enthusiastic expertise for the subject is enlightening and infectious” – Fortean Times  \nhttps://bsky.app/profile/scarredforlife.bsky.socialhttps://x.com/ScarredForLife2https://www.facebook.com/scarredforlifebook https://www.instagram.com/scarredforlifebook/
