The Lambeth Fringe 2026
24 September – 25 October 2026
A five-week fringe across south London, run by the team behind the Bread & Roses Theatre in Clapham. It began in 2015 as the Clapham Fringe and spread through the borough of Lambeth in 2024, so its shows now fill theatres, pubs, libraries and a city farm. Anyone can apply, and stand-up and improv share the programme with theatre, cabaret and family shows.
