It’s a day of dance at Fringe by the Sea! Swing into the Lodge and get grooving on the dance floor as the Biggar Big Band bring their vibrant repertoire rooted in classic swing and big band favourites with added Latin American rhythms.

A whole load of fun for all ages from this eclectic line up of musicians spanning the generations, who’re always ready with energy, fun, and timeless sounds.

Join the virtuosic Arthur Hull for the updated version of FLOP!,a fast‑paced, funny and joyful celebration of Broadway’s least‑loved musicals. Featuring the best songs from the worst shows, this cabaret dives into a treasure trove of misunderstood, critically panned and financially disastrous productions, unearthing obscure and forgotten gems along the way.

After its acclaimed 2025 debut at Adelaide Fringe where it won Best Emerging Artist FLOP! went on to scoop Best Entertainment at the Dark Chat Awards during its Edinburgh Fringe run. It’s a witty, fact‑packed love letter to Broadway and the West End’s biggest musical misfires. Arthur Hull is no stranger to the spotlight: a top‑three finalist on Adam Lambert’s team on The Voice Australia, Australia’s National Busking Champion 2024, and a graduate of the world‑famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus.

His debut solo show has already earned rave reviews across Adelaide, Melbourne and Edinburgh.

The Mill Youth Theatre presents The Murder Mystery That Goes Wrong, a riotous comedy packed with chaos, calamity and collapsing scenery.

An unconscious leading lady, a corpse who won’t stay dead, a flustered detective and a hopelessly tongue‑tied butler battle forgotten lines, technical mishaps and runaway props as they attempt to reach the final curtain in one piece. A fast‑paced, laugh‑out‑loud spoof where everything that can go wrong absolutely does.

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits!

Over twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, popping up at festivals like Glastonbury, End Of The Road and Camp Bestival. We have also published a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and host our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. In August 2025, we won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, in recognition of our two decades in this glorious endeavour.

The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.

“All in all this show was great.” – The Scotsman

“Comedy Club 4 Kids has stand-up sets from grown-up, high-quality acts who perform their usual sets, just without the swearing or rude bits.” – The Independent

“…plenty of full on laughs and tears of enjoyment from parents” – Families Edinburgh
