Join me on a reflective walk through the meadows of Edinburgh as I reminisce about the grandeur of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Amidst the changing leaves and lingering posters, I contemplate the contrasting yet equally exciting Amsterdam Fringe Festival, which I'll be attending next week. The Amsterdam Fringe offers a more intimate experience with around 50 shows over 11 days, focusing on themes of hope, regeneration, and belonging. Highlights include a street performance sharing stories from the homeless community, a doll-themed narrative piece, and a transformative drumming show. Discover how smaller fringes like Amsterdam create unique, cohesive voices compared to the vast inclusivity of Edinburgh. Engage with thought-provoking content and explore the dynamic offerings of Amsterdam Fringe, where each performance is a testament to the power of art in reflecting and shaping our world. I encourage you to explore the Amsterdam Fringe website and immerse yourself in this vibrant festival. Your engagement

Hi, a warm welcome to this episode, where we delve into the creative practice of one of the popular artists currently performing on the fringe. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Michael Traufer, the brilliant mind behind dazzling shows like Fabulet. We discuss his latest endeavor, The Pink List, and what it's like to debut a new musical in London. Michael shares the excitement of performing in a city with a rich theatrical history and discerning audiences. He talks about the unique story of The Pink List and how London audiences have engaged with it, particularly the theme of post-war persecution of gay men in Germany. We explore the extensive research Michael undertook, including a poignant visit to a concentration camp, and how this influenced his writing process. He reveals his creative journey, from the initial concept to the final performance, and the importance of authenticity in storytelling. Michael also discusses his favorite song from the musical, the intimate setting of The King's Hea

Hi, we hope you're having a wonderful summer and really enjoying all the creativity that's out there. Looking forward to the festival season that's now underway. Camden is going great with new work from Michael Traufer, a brand new musical called The Pink List at the King's Head. Catch that in August. If you're heading up to Edinburgh, then here are some of our tips. First, drink plenty of water because this summer looks like it's going to be a scorcher. And also, take time to enjoy some of the traditional venues. Paradise, The Vaults and St. Augustine, like the name almost suggests, is one of the original venues. And it's always worth picking something there because it keeps you in touch with what actors can do in atmospheric but quite stripped-back venues. The storytelling is often to the front in that. Some of the shows gracing Paradise include a solo show inspired by the life of the performer Jerry Carroll. If you enjoyed Jerry at Zoo Venues last year, this would be a great time to follow up on his work
