NEW & EXCITING FRINGE THEATRE ADVENTURES FROM THE HEART OF KENTISH TOWN | #BEWHOYOUWANTTOBE
LATEST NEWS
🎭 OPENS TONIGHT
A door slamming farce about fame, ambition and the ridiculous lengths people go to get ahead.
Sorry, Members Only takes us behind the doors of a prestigious London members’ club, where Rob, an out of work actor turned reluctant concierge, makes a risky decision that spirals rapidly out of control. With the help of Suzi, his loyal colleague climbing the hospitality ladder, a daring plan unfolds involving a hidden film director, a double booked suite and a visiting VIP.
Fast paced, sharp and chaotic, this new comedy dives into vanity, ambition and the need to be seen, with after hours parties, near misses and plenty of theatrical mischief along the way.
📅 Opens tonight and runs until Saturday
⏰ 7.30pm
🎟 Tickets £15 | Concessions £13
📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town
Content advisory: occasional strong language, mild drug references.

#TheFlatEarthers #BBCIntroducing #LandUTheatre #LondonTheatre #FringeTheatre #NewWriting
🎭 OPENS TONIGHT
@flat_earthers_theatre is a heartfelt look at the people deep down the conspiracy rabbit hole and what drives them to defy society.
Greg, Sophie and Kevin are united by one belief: the world is flat. Meeting in a local pub to share their latest research, ambitions grow as Greg pushes to take their message to the masses. But before convincing the world, they must first understand each other. When you don’t see the world like everyone else, how do you know anything is what it seems?
✨ The Flat Earthers is a sharp, funny and compassionate new play about belief, belonging and identity.
Shortlisted: Best Emerging Artist/Company, Brighton Fringe 2025

🎭 OPENING NIGHT 🎭
✨ CINDERELLA ✨
Silly, smutty and sparkly, join us for an absolute ball this Christmas in this new show from the critically acclaimed Camden Fringe hit Miss.
Cinderella is FED UP.
She’s stuck pulling pints and scrubbing floors for her fugly step sisters, Lorraine and Kelly, trapped in dreary Kentish Town and dreaming of escape. Prince Charming just wants a normal life and someone who loves him for who he is.
When their worlds collide it’s love at first sight. But as midnight creeps closer, will Camden hell and royal expectations ruin their happy ending, or will a little Christmas magic save the day?
Packed with silliness, adult humour and more sparkle than the Strictly final, this is a festive night out like no other.
📅 Tonight – Sunday
⏰ 7.30pm
🎟 VERY LIMITED TICKETS REMAINING

🎭 OPENING TONIGHT at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre
@donttouchmystuffplay is a funny, messy and heartfelt scrapbook of old memories, siblings, secrets and the questionable decisions you make in your twenties.
Told entirely within the walls of two bedrooms, the play follows brother and sister Isaac and Alice as they navigate first relationships, leaving home, missing home and the unspoken parts of growing up. It is an honest look at identity, sexuality and mental health, seen through the bond that shapes us long before we understand it.
With uno cards, spaghetti Bolognese and hidden bottles of rum, this contemporary coming of age story reflects the reality of a generation trying to figure life out, together and alone.
📅 On Tonight to Sat | 7.30pm
🎟 Tickets £15 | £13 conc
📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town
Content advisory: strong language, strong themes of mental health.

🎭 OPENING TONIGHT
A riotous queer satire exploring identity, legacy and Elizabeth Taylor.
Taylor-Made (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bdy)* follows Grace, a trans woman who, in a final bid for validation, summons Elizabeth Taylor from the afterlife… and accidentally triggers a cosmic crisis.
Set between London’s queer underworld and the celestial bureaucracy of Heaven, this sharp, funny and heartfelt new play dives into gender, iconhood and the messy pursuit of self-acceptance.
✨ From @nothingtheatre
📅 Opens tonight – Sat | 7.30pm
📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town
🎟 Tickets: link in bio
Content advisory: satirical depictions of the afterlife, necromancy and religion, discussions of gender identity, strong language.

🎭 OPENING TONIGHT
Scent from @workingprogresscollective is a tender and unflinching story about the iron grip of grief, the unwieldiness of love, and the joy and pain of remembering.
Jamie was once a talented young sommelier. Now she’s stuck in a cycle of cheap red wine and SSRIs, doing whatever it takes to keep the hurt at bay. When her sister encourages her to start again, Jamie faces a question she’s not ready to answer. How do you begin again when letting go feels impossible?
✨ A raw, intimate new drama about loss, memory and rebuilding yourself piece by piece.
📅 Opens tonight | Runs to Saturday | 7.30pm
