SUMMARY:The Fool’s Flock’s Comedy About a Vampire - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:When plague hits the village of Bottomswort\, Gunther is forced to flee. The last thing he expected was a Vampire named Vladd. \nBe transported to the medieval village of Bottomswort where a vicious plague is racking its residents and a spate of mysterious disappearances have left the town on tenterhooks. Desperate to find salvation\, the only hope for the village would have been Humbolt the Brave; too bad the pustules got to him too. So\, the fate of the village lies in the hands of Gunther\, a pig farmer who’s always happy to step up to the plate. \nWith the arrival of the castle-loving\, ‘red-wine’-drinking\, sunshine-hating Vladd of Vladestan\, murmurs of a vampire haunting the land start to fill the air. Gunther\, with simplicity as his shield and stupidity as his sword\, quickly falls into harm’s way. \nIn this love letter to sketch shows of the past\, the Fool’s Flock present a tale full of gothic wonder. Blending puppetry\, slapstick and poor decisions\, the team are all playing to their strengths in this interactive comedy.

Sander Schuurman\, plays the six string acoustic but also delivering some mean dobro parts and harmony vocals of course.

Musically\, they are on the Americana road\, check out their album “Rivers And Roads” with tracks like “River Of Gold”\, ”Eyes On The Road” “Once Upon A Town” and “Echo Park” but they have about a 100 songs under their belt. These song diggers are always delivering because they love what they do and so will you.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Nana Funk at Colchester Fringe Festival
DESCRIPTION:“Nana’s comedic styling evokes the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.” North West End  \nBrian’s Life Best Comedy Winner at Prague Fringe Festival 2025 \nFriday 31 Oct – 7pmSaturday 1 Nov – 8.30pmSunday 2 Nov – 6pm \nAgeing well doesn’t mean behaving yourself. Just ask Nana Funk\, the great-greatgrandmother of good times and star of An Evening With Nana Funk\, an hour-long One Nana cabaret studio show with stadium ambitions coming to The Dragonfly Lounge as part of The Colchester Fringe for 3 nights only. \n“An Evening With Nana Funk isn’t just a musical comedy act; it’s a joyful middle finger to ageism. Nana Funk isn’t just a character; she’s a revolution in bedazzled granny panties. By the final bow\, she’s got the whole crowd cheering for saggy skin\, hot flashes\, and the freedom that comes with giving zero f*cks. If aging is a rockstar’s journey\, Nana Funk is leading the tour—and we should all buy tickets.” Binge Fringe \nThe time has come for Nana to get intimate. She’s sick of the stadium life and is now touring to smaller scale venues so she can get up close and personal with her army of fans. She’s got a bee in her bonnet and wants you to get on it. This is no teatime with your granny\, this is ‘An Evening With Nana Funk’.  \nThe audience are taken on a hilarious and emotional rollercoaster as Nana challenges ageism and how aged/aging people are portrayed in society. From delicate ballads to 90’s dance and all the way through to full on ROCK\, Nana gives her not so subtle opinions on what it means to be “age appropriate”. \nThe Colchester Fringe was established in 2019 by Cameron Abbott-Betts and Steve Goatman.  \nEvery Autumn\, since 2021\, they take over a variety of venues within the city centre. Including\, theatres\, shops\, pubs and nightclubs and fill them all with extraordinary artists from all corners of the globe.  \nThey believe that the Fringe is for everyone. Therefore\, are committed to keeping ticket prices low and promoting under-represented voices\, including LGBTQ+\, global majority and disabled people within their programme and festival team. \nThey are proudly a non-profit festival and any money made will be put towards supporting artists and developing the Fringe for future years.
