DURHAM FRINGE PRESENTS

The next Durham Fringe Presents is coming Friday 27th February! Enjoy a night of performances of various genres, by acts from across County Durham and the North East. Our line up will feature artists who’ve previously performed at Durham Fringe Festivals, as well ones new to us.

FEBRUARY LINEUP 

Hels Pattison | Alt-Country music, drawing inspiration from artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Chappell Roan, and First Aid Kit.

Magic by Brooklyn | 18 year old magic sensation who has wowed audiences across the UK with his sell out performances and social media presence

Shellshock! Improvised Comedy | Durham University’s premier improv comedy group, present their signature blend of scenes and sketches. The show is entirely unscripted and made up on the spot – no two shows are ever the same. Come along for an evening of laughter as you give prompts and suggestions to help shape every scene!

Doors open 6:30pm | First act starts 7:15pm

Admission for ages 18 or over only

Tickets: £3 early bird [SOLD OUT] / £6 standard advance / £9 on the door

Over the past five years, the Durham Fringe Festival has become a vibrant platform for emerging and independent artists, attracting growing audiences — with more than 9,000 tickets sold in 2025 — and driving creative activity across the city.

As we continue to grow, we want to offer more opportunities to local talent and bring Durham a taste of the Fringe all year round. We’ve partnered with one of the Fringe’s earliest venues, Fabio’s Bar to bring you our new monthly* events.
