8:00 p.m. Dan Cohen & Duncan Hart: Magic Mics

Dan “The Man” Cohen & Dunc “The Hunk” Hart. Two mics. Two men. Too much information.

Two of the circuit’s hottest prospects and coldest thighs strip comedy back to its bare essentials: life, love, and loss... with puppets, pork pies, and more k***s than a B&Q aisle.

No awkward thrusting (sorry). No pole dancing (we’re so sorry).

Dan Cohen, host of “The Sin Bin Pod” joins BBC and Channel 4 writer Duncan Hart for some chaotic comedy. Two middle-aged blokes, fully clothed (again, sorry), wondering... why are they throwing money at us?

Expect high-quality stand-up, surreal stories, surprisingly moving moments, and—inevitably—plenty of k**b gags.

Less “Magic Mike”, more tragic mic. Definitely more sausage than sizzle...

Proof that laughter really is the best medicine.

You’ll only come once.

8:00 p.m. Giddy Aunt Improv

Loved by The Telegraph (“the best improv I’ve ever seen!”), British Comedy Guide (“consistently slick”) and our mums (“very polite”), Giddy Aunt Improv is improv done right. Fast, frenetic and joyfully silly – made up on the spot – with songs, sketches, and boundless scenarios. Following 5 sell-out years at the Leicester Comedy Festival, they bring their award nominated show to the Camden Fringe for a night full of pints, laughs and just a lovely time had by all. Do pop by!

Nominated for Best Variety Show 2026 (Leicester Comedy Festival). Which is nice.

In Dublin, a city humming with possibility, Cat is starting over. Between lost friends, stray ci******es, and a handsome busker, she finds herself caught between who she was and who she might become. Blending storytelling, music, and audience participation, this autobiographical piece captures the humour, heartbreak, and hope of beginning again. A funny, tender, and charming story about love, chance encounters, and the glow of something new.

After sell-out performances of his Edinburgh show ‘Carrot Top: Memoirs of a Gay’ ( “a deeply personal, hilarious and empowering journey” – The Scotsman, ‘Cutting, clever and dirty all at the same time’ – One4Review), retired t***k and international flight attendant David Ingram brings a brand new Work in Progress show to Camden Fringe.

Wear something slutty, and bring a mate, date, or your exes dad.

9:30 p.m. Stewart Nutting: Nutting Really Matters

Stewart Nutting presents a story-led stand-up show about nihilism, burnout and the strange things we choose to care about anyway. Through personal stories and quietly absurd observations, he explores what it means to live in a world that often feels meaningless – and why we still find ourselves defending small joys, pointless efforts and moments of whimsy.

Thoughtful, slightly bleak, and unexpectedly warm, this is comedy about overthinking life, questioning everything, and discovering that even if nothing mat

6:30 p.m. The Green Party

Green Party is a split bill show from two of London’s best up and coming comedians (and great pals), Nick Morey and Indi Madray. Nick is an early 40’s gay man with a love of video games, wordplay, and a host of embarrassing, self-deprecating tales. In just two years on the comedy scene, he’s proven himself as one to watch, with deft wordplay, surprising voice work, and a mastery of the misdirect.

A walking cultural identity crisis, Indi shares her experiences, deconstructing stereo-typical expectations. An Award winning comedian, Indi’s a regular on the Comedy Circuit earning numerous bragging rights and accolades in her nine years on the circuit.

A ‘joint’ venture, these two have bonded over the lighter things in life, dreaming of a world where the grass is always greener. Come hang, it’ll be fun!

8:00 p.m. The Velvet Lads (working title)

From the moment they met at Saint Nobbington’s boarding house for boys, Jack Toff and Harold Cholmondeley became fast friends and heated rivals. After being kicked off the school rugby team because they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, they channelled their energy through the arts in the after-school drama society. This show explores their journey to superstardom and genius through DRAMA! SONG! and INTERPRETIVE DANCE! However, along the way, their passion for devising creates conflict between the boys, and they have to remember the real reason why they love theatre so much…

9:30 p.m. Tim Swanton: Bear The Load

So-called comedian Tim Swanton presents his breakout comedy special – a gut-busting appreciation of the struggles we all face in life, from love for Legoland to running over old ladies (with shopping trolleys). A show of stand-up comedy and theatre meshed together that looks at what it means no

6:30 p.m. Twins — A Split Bill

This is a Stand up Comedy split bill with a twist, it is performed by Chris and Matthew Ali who are twins. We are spitting images of each other with one twin who is straight and one who is gay.

We both started stand up comedy at the same time 4 years ago and have been honing our craft independently for that time and are now coming together to bring one show. We will be doing a set each of our own stand up material and a section where we will be doing a double act and interacting with the audience.

It’s a unique show brought by two people who look the same.

8:00 p.m. The WIT-Nits: You Shouldn’t Have

No script. No plan. And a lucky dip of unexpected, second-hand goodies. Let the silliness begin!

Armed with bizarre finds from local charity shops and audience suggestions, the WIT-Nits create You Shouldn’t Have – a hilarious, anything-can-happen improvised show where every performance is unique.

Woking Improv Theatre’s original house team, the WIT-Nits have been delighting audiences across London and the South East for two years, kicking things off with a burst of fast, high-energy games before diving into the unexpected.

Unpredictable, unrepeatable and unapologetically silly, You Shouldn’t Have!

9:30 p.m. Andrew O’Neill: WIP (Andrew O'Neill)

I can’t emphasise enough that this is a short, aggressive lecture on krill. Then jokes.

Brand new show (in-progress) by cult comedian off of Good Omens and that.

***** (Scotsman). ***** (Telegraph). ***** (ScotsGay). ***** (One4Review.co.uk). ‘One of the funniest comedians on the circuit’ (Time Out).

SUNDAY 16TH AUGUST

6:30 p.m. Dead Time Stories

Dead Time Stories is a darkly comic horror anthology play, and homage to ‘The Twilight Zone’, ‘Inside No. 9’ and ‘Tales of the Unexpected’. A mysterious unnamed host and her silent but ever-watchful skull companion, John, invite you to a night of spooky storytelling, organised by The Powers That Be.

Our host will open her storybook and morph into three different female characters, each with their own macabre story to tell.

Take heed and prepare to be unsettled, for each tale twists and turns into the unexpected and nothing is quite as it seems. We shall be quite delighted to see you there…

8:00 p.m. John Callaghan’s Cabaret Electro

“If you want to put your brain in the blender, have a listen – it’s like if Aphex Twin wrote British music hall songs… in a good way” (Tomás Ford)

Cabaret and quirky theatrics illustrate John‘s electronic songs, with costumes, live electronics, surreal visuals and animations.

John’s credits include releases on Warp Records and directing ingenious music videos for artists like Professor Elemental (“[John is] the closest thing to a living cartoon character… Between musician, performance artist, comedian and genius”).

“One of the most inspirational music acts we have ever experienced.” (Todolist) ★★★★★
