A little background, written by Charles:

London: Back to the Fringe  

Samuel Johnson once said "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of Life". What was true in 1777 remains true today. However London, with all it's rich history of theatre, the arts and literature, lacks one crucial thing - a Festival of the Fringe. There is a large and thriving fringe in London, it's just that the majority of people aren't aware of it. But Fringe with its vibrancy, openess to all and creativity is what London is all about. It is a city of opportunity, and it takes a few like-minded strangers  in a coffee shop to pull it all together.    

And that's just what happened. In 2009 a few art enthusiasts started  the London Bridge Festival from humble beginnings that brought together more than 300 artists and performers into one event that stretched over two weeks.  

Now, in 2010 it's the London Festival Fringe. And building up to that is the London Fringe Club.  

The Club is for artists, performers and people in the business of art and entertainment. Come and talk. Share your ideas. Meet fellow performers, writers, directors, producers. Half the world is hype, and the rest is not interesting, so says the man who wouldn't know a marionette if he saw one. After all, the world is a stage, and according to our good man Samuel Johnson, London is a world in itself. Mr. Johnson knew it back to front, but he can bet his bones he didn't know it back to fringe!  

Take a swig of life. Join Us!  London Fringe Club - Every other Tuesday.
