SUMMARY:Animal Magnetism
DESCRIPTION:Sid Delicious presents the weird and wonderful world of love and sex in the animal kingdom.  \nA scientific lecture meets late night cabaret where you can learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about sex in the animal kingdom\, along with some things you’d rather forget! From who’s packing the biggest- and strangest- equipment to the secret war of the sexes happening beneath our mattresses and how outdated Victorian values still shape how we view sex in animals today. Hosted by a fast-talking punk drag king hailed as Colchester’s own ‘Attenborough on bath salts’\, you can get involved in the action and try some of Channel 4’s most rejected game shows- spin the wheel of karma zoo-tra and test your eye at the ever-popular ‘penis or kitchen implement?’*. One thing’s for sure\, you’ll never look at a duck the same way again! \n*Fabulous prizes not included \n“Wonderfully unhinged in every sense of the word.”“Informative. Deranged. Entertaining.” \n-Audience praise for Sid Delicious in ‘Hyperfixations Presentations’ \nAdditional Content Warnings: \nAll nudity and sexual content will be of real animals in a scientific context only. The thesis of the show is the complexities of animal sex\, this subject will be presented in a light-hearted but honest manner with real pictures of animal genitalia that you could expect to find in a biology textbook. There will also be brief discussion of how some animals have adaptations to prevent unwanted fertilisation (e.g. ducks) which may potentially be triggering to those who have experienced sexual violence. A full disclaimer of these details will be included and further warning before these are discussed.						 \nColchester Fringe Festival. Performance venue: Coda. \nAge Suitability: 16yrs + \nSensitive Content: Audience Participation\, Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes\, Nudity\, Scenes of a Sexual Nature\, Strong Language/Swearing\, More Information \nMore Information: See show description \nTicket Price: £9 \nBooking information.

SUMMARY:Turing’s Law
DESCRIPTION:In the 1950s\, gay men travelled to liberal European cities in search of freedoms that were denied to them at home. Places where they could explore their sexuality\, find companionship and immerse themselves in homosocial worlds beyond the reach of British convention.Alan Turing was one of those men.Quietly rebellious and ahead of his time\, Turing was a man who mathematically questioned the laws of nature while his own nature was criminalised. Gay\, sexually curious\, hungry for connection and unafraid to demand that the people around him accept him for who he was. He wanted sex\, he wanted love\, and\, beneath it all\, he longed for a permanent relationship.Turing’s Law shines a light on the Turing history has hidden in the shadows.This is the story of two men spending an afternoon together in Greece. An encounter that becomes both sexual and intellectual and exposes attitudes that challenge the conventions of their time.Alan is messy\, unpredictable\, charming\, bold\, funny\, opinionated and provocative. He is not the stuttering\, isolated mathematical stereotype who avoided human contact in favour of machines. Nor is he simply the polished wartime hero immortalised on the £50 note.He is a real man: gay\, complicated\, contradictory and fiercely himself. The man who would become a national hero.In a villa in Greece\, Alan spends an afternoon with ‘Man’. Unable to reveal the classified knowledge of what he built during the war\, he is forced to navigate a growing dissonance between what he knows and what he can say.For a man who spent his life questioning rules\, challenging authority and refusing to accept easy answers\, Alan now finds himself caught on the horns of a dilemma.What can he reveal? What must remain hidden? And what happens when the private man behind the national hero is finally given a voice?Turing’s Law is the unspoken history of a national hero and an invitation to meet the man history has hidden.						 \nColchester Fringe Festival. Performance venue: Headgate Theatre (Main). \nAge Suitability: 16yrs + \nSensitive Content: Scenes of a Sexual Nature\, Strong Language/Swearing \nTicket Price: £13 \nBooking information.

SUMMARY:Embarrassed Naked Female (this show contains nudity)
DESCRIPTION:“It’s the strangest feeling to be laughing out loud but feeling a burning rage bubbling inside me.” ★★★★ Perth Happenings \nThe most thrilling play you’ll see\, and it’s just a lectern and a slide show. This multi-award-winning lecture-performance takes you on a wild ride as it investigates consent in the digital age with wit\, dark humour and a growing amount of spite. \nIn 2020\, during the Covid lockdown\, just like many artists did at the time\, I made several of my shows temporarily available online. A video of my solo show “The Sensemaker” quickly became highly sought-after in certain corners of the internet – all because of the five minutes of nudity it contains. Years later\, I’m still having to take it down from various adult forums where it keeps resurfacing without my consent. \n“Embarrassed Naked Female (this show contains nudity)” is a lecture-performance built like a forensic thriller: a deep dive into the rabbit hole of internet communities and my bizarre encounters with the men in them. \nThere is power in watching without being seen. I don’t think they expected me to watch them back… \n★★★★★ “One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen” FringeFeed \n★★★★★ “Intelligence\, wit\, and immaculate poise in equal measure.” FringeReview \n★★★★★ “It doesn’t matter who you are\, you need to see this show” Upside Adelaide \n★★★★½ “As informative as a TED Talk\, playing like a thrilling game of cat and mouse” Winnipeg Free Press \n★★★★½ “I applaud anyone who can take dark and disturbing material and craft it into a witty and comical story.” Fourth Wall Media \nWinner – Outstanding Production\, On The Edge Fringe 2026\nWinner – Outstanding Performer\, Dunedin Fringe 2026\nWinner – Weekly Award for Theatre\, FRINGE WORLD Perth 2026\nWinner – Virtuoso Award\, Stockholm Fringe 2025\nWinner – Hot Potato Award\, Gothenburg Fringe 2025\nNominated – Best in Fringe\, New Zealand Fringe 2026\nNominated – Theatre Award & Beyond Words Award\, Dunedin Fringe 2026 \nConcept and writing: Elsa Couvreur

SUMMARY:Boudica & Me: I’ll Share the Fire but Not the Ashes
DESCRIPTION:Rebekah Wallace-Brown returns with I’ll Share the Fire But Not the Ashes—a deeper\, brasher exploration of Boudica’s history and the raw reality of modern womanhood. \nShe unpacks who Boudica really was: the flogging\, the rebellion\, the survival. Then she brings it home—to menopause as a sacred forge\, to claiming boundaries\, and to the stubborn act of getting back up. \nThe ashes are not trauma. They are what she earned by walking through her own fires. She shares the flame of resilience freely—but the wisdom of what she’s survived is hers. \nExpect history\, humour\, and unflinching honesty. You’ll leave feeling seen\, challenged\, and maybe a little bit on fire.						 \nColchester Fringe Festival.

Written and performed by world-class\ncomposer and songwriter Mark Glentworth (celebrated collaborator of Steven\nBerkoff)\, the production chronicles a sudden\, devastating breakdown that\nleft him mute and trapped in a world of silence for seven and a half years. \nTold through a powerful blend of gripping monologue and sophisticated\,\nsoul-stirring live music reminiscent of Elton John and Billy Joel\, this is\nan intimate window into male mental health\, resilience\, and the ultimate\ntriumph of the human spirit. Stripped-back\, raw\, and surprisingly\nuplifting\, it is a masterclass in storytelling that will hook you within\nminutes. \nWitness a remarkable true story about the healing power of music\nand a profound reminder that it is never too late to begin again. \n“A quietly powerful\, musically beautiful and deeply human piece of\ntheatre.” ★★★★★ \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:Her Name
DESCRIPTION:Wu Zetian\, the only woman in Chinese history to rule as emperor in her own name\, has been judged by history for centuries. What happens when she finally answers back? \nNow\, she is summoned to stand trial before history. \nFrom Mei and Meiniang\, names given to shape the woman she was expected to become\, to Zhao\, a name she created for herself\, Her Name traces her journey from being named and defined by others to claiming the right to define herself. \nAs the trial unfolds\, Wu Zhao confronts accusations surrounding her ambition\, her rise to power\, her relationships and the way history has chosen to remember her. The voices of her daughter\, Princess Taiping\, and her student\, Shangguan Wan’er\, complicate that defence further\, asking not only what Wu Zhao changed\, but what remained unchanged for the women who came after her. \nTold in English and rooted in Chinese history\, Her Name is a contemporary solo performance created and performed by Aniya He about names\, ambition\, gender and public power. Through Wu Zhao’s story\, it asks why women in power are still so often remembered differently from the men who hold it. \nWhen history remembers a woman in power\, what does it choose to remember?						 \nColchester Fringe Festival.

SUMMARY:Second Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:Second Thoughts follows Clement Achebe\, a once-successful Lagos professional who leaves behind a stable life in pursuit of greater opportunities abroad. What he hopes will be a journey toward a brighter future quickly becomes a confrontation with harsh realities\, cultural shocks\, and the emotional weight of having to start over. Told as an intimate one-man play\, the story blends humour\, vulnerability\, and reflection as Clement questions the true cost of ambition\, the meaning of home\, and the choices that shape identity. Through moments of honesty and quiet revelation\, he invites the audience into the internal battle between hope and regret\, pride and survival. Second Thoughts is a deeply human exploration of migration\, belonging\, and the universal search for a life that feels truly one’s own. \n*Please note there is no lift to access the top floor of Three Wise Monkeys.

SUMMARY:Create an Expressive Landscape Painting Inspired by Van Gogh and Munch
DESCRIPTION:Explore expressive landscape painting in this hands-on oil painting workshop inspired by the bold colour\, movement and energetic brushwork of early Expressionism. \nLooking at artists including Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch\, you’ll discover how colour\, shape and brushwork can transform a landscape and communicate mood and emotion. \nWorking from the view at Firstsite\, you’ll create your own landscape painting from observation\, experimenting with simplified forms\, exaggerated colour and expressive brushwork rather than aiming for a realistic copy. \nWhat to expect \nThe session will begin with a short introduction to Expressionism\, followed by a demonstration showing how to simplify the view\, choose a composition and begin building a painting with oil. \nYou’ll then develop your own landscape with individual guidance throughout. \nYou’ll leave with your own expressive landscape oil painting and greater confidence in using oil paint. \nGood to know \nBasic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés. \nThis workshop is suitable for ages 16+ and is suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience of oil painting. \nWhat is Expressionism? \nExpressionism is an approach to art that uses colour\, shape\, line and brushwork to communicate emotion and personal response rather than simply showing a subject realistically. \nArtists may exaggerate colours\, simplify forms and use energetic brushstrokes to create a particular mood or feeling. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll explore these ideas through landscape painting\, taking inspiration from artists such as Van Gogh and Munch while developing your own individual style and response. \nAbout your tutor \nDenisa Mansfield is an artist whose work explores expressive colour\, movement\, and emotion through the language of Impressionism and abstraction. \nShe works primarily in oils\, with a focus on how traditional methods can be reinterpreted in contemporary ways. \nHer practice celebrates curiosity\, creative risk-taking\, and the joy of discovery through paint.
