Edinburgh who? The Camden Fringe is back this summer — with over 400 shows staged in the pint-sized theatres and pubs of north London.

Returning for its 20th year, the performing arts festival runs from 3-30 August 2026, bringing with it a riot of theatre, sketch, comedy, dance and spoken-word performances spread across 20+ of Camden's small venues. (These days, shows also spill over the border into Islington and Westminster.)

With such a glut of stuff, we've compiled an amuse-bouche of highlights that sound particularly good fun/intriguing, but do browse the full programme.

And get booking — shows sell out!
