The Anonymous Monsters


Kaso Jogi (Japan)

This surreal tale begins with the recruitment of a hapless newcomer to a rural neighbourhood volunteer association. Responding to a complaint about noisy frogs, he goes to investigate. He encounters a supernatural world populated with yokai, mysterious supernatural entities of Japanese mythology who sing, dance and struggle to coexist with contemporary human society. The result is a funny sideways look at humans from their perspective. With wild hand-made costumes, giant sculptural origami puppets and original music, this is a unique and mind-blowing Japanese experience for all ages. Performed in Japanese with English surtitles.

    Cheers, Mom! Eulogy for a Living Parent

    A wild, hilarious solo show about grief, love and mommy issues. Candice Fox dives into the chaos of loss and a complex mother-daughter saga, blending raw storytelling with striking visuals. She explores grief in its messy glory, awkward moments and accidental wisdom, navigating the strange ways we stumble forward. This show isn’t just about death, it’s about mourning someone still alive, dealing with estrangement and how addiction distorts family history. Deeply intimate, darkly funny, it's cathartic, relatable and unexpected. You’ll laugh, cry and probably text your mom something unhinged afterward!Written and Performed by | Candice FoxDirected by | Preston MuiAssociated Directed by | Peter MarinaroMovement Directed by | Reed LupaluMusic by | Javier Dunninstagram.com/candypantz/

    Rugburn

    Celebrity designer Mat Sanders’ fabulously designed existence implodes spectacularly when sudden betrayal triggers a hysterical, one-man meltdown. Rugburn explores what happens when you’ve built a glittering life on a foundation of unresolved shame and perfectly upholstered defences begin splitting at the seams. Hollywood gossip, popper-fuelled confessions and impeccably appointed interiors collide in this fast-paced, filthy, deliciously deranged neo-vaudevillian spectacle. From the highs of styling A-listers and hosting makeover TV to the lows of underground sleaze and spectacular self-destruction, watch Sanders shape-shift through the dazzling wreckage of his life as style spirals into chaos. Brace yourself for Rugburn.Created and Performed by | Mat SandersDirected by | Telly KousakisChoreographed by | Nicholas Lanziseratiktok.com/@thematfinishInstagram.com/thematfinish

    Second Class Queer

    A bold, witty and moving autobiographical solo performance exploring queer identity, diaspora, racial injustice and the search for belonging. Krishna, a queer Indian-Malaysian man, attends a gay speed-dating event in Berlin. Through five-minute conversations, his regret and grief at never coming out to his late mother emerge. With raw storytelling, multimedia projection and poetic honesty, the piece weaves together personal memories, political insight and humour to challenge dominant narratives and celebrate the voices of the marginalised. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, because of their skin, sexuality, culture or class.‘Once in a while you see something that takes your breath away, something so perfectly formed and delivered that you would happily see it again and again… Second Class Queer made me laugh… and cry. It made me feel guilt and shame, it made me feel uncomfortable and then proud. It made me want to be a better man and it made me want to see this important piece of theatre be shown to young people and old, worldwide’ Andrew Kay, TheLatest.co.ukWritten, Performed and Produced by | Kumar MuniandyDramaturgical Support by | Mojisola AdebayoProjection Design by | Haesoo JungPhotography and Artwork by | Sara MoraloThanks to | Anthony, Azuan, Avrina, Dieter, English Theatre Berlin, Haesoo Jung, Jad, Keep It Fringe Fund, Mojisola Adebayo, Samir, Sara Moralo, So Young, Themba, Tim and Will.instagram.com/secondclassqueer/tiktok.com/sentulpasarkumar/

    Rumourville

    Have you heard the gossip? The improvised story of a small town where a rumour ruins all: romance, reputation and petty revenge!  With audience suggestions setting up the action, a single rumour is born. Chaos erupts, relationships implode, reputations shatter and the quest for revenge turns hilariously petty. From misplaced love letters to scandalous secrets, no one is safe, proving that in a tight-knit community the juiciest gossip is always the most destructive. As heard on BBC Radio, seen at Hoopla Impro, Camden Comedy Club, Barons Court Theatre, and sold out at Brighton and Cambridge fringes.Performed by | Sophia Marshall, Helen Bentley, Pete Smith, Matt Prestage, Claudia NovatiProduced by | Tom Munro and Lorna Francis, Incognito Improvinstagram.com/improvincognito/
