Not going to Edinburgh Fringe?
Don’t fret there’s some incredible DIY theatre and comedy still to come in August as part of Camden Fringe 2017.

5, 6, 7, 8, a Steps musical | Upstairs at the Gatehouse | 14-19 August | Times vary | £12/10
Cheesy as fondue? Manufactured pop? Who cares, we loved Steps and can’t wait to stomp along to their hits in this new musical comedy.

A bonkers show about a bear, a burrito and it’s own journey of self discovery.
The Trouble with Scott Capurro | The Bill Murray | 15-17 August | £10/8
To Do List favourite Scott Capurro is life enchancing, provocative and not afraid of dealing with the big issues but with a delightfully dark and camp sense of humour.

‘An unabashed celebration and historical exploration of the queer club culture of the 1970s to raise awareness around the diminishing footprint of London’s LGBTQ-centric social scene’
The Checkout | Hen and Chickens Theatre | 26-27 August | 4.30pm | £8
The touching and witty story of Liz a mum who inexplicably lies down at ASDA during her weekly shop.
Penetrating Europe, or Migrants Have Talent | The Cockpit | Saturday 26 August, 7pm; Sunday 27 August, 5.30pm
An migrant talent show using a combination of real stories and amazing artistic talents, from soulful folk singing to dodgy magic tricks.
‘It’s up to our plucky migrants to persuade YOU, the Great British Public, to let them stay in the UK! So get ready to vote to keep your favourites and kick out the rest!’
