Upcoming events at Etcetera Theatre

Etcetera Theatre is an award-winning Camden pub theatre that has supported new fringe work since 1986. It hosts theatre, comedy, cabaret and musical acts, and offers space for rehearsals, filming and new shows, giving emerging companies and performers a practical first stop in the industry.

Language of Joe and Cho (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Language of Joe and Cho (CAMDEN FRINGE)

"What happens when the mask you wear online becomes the person you can’t escape in real life?" "And What happens your online persona causes a collision in your physical reality and your family?" "What are you going to do if that triggers the issues you've been ignoring for years?" Cho is a university student living a double life. To his father in South Korea, he is a dedicated son on the verge of graduation. To his thousands of anonymous subscribers, he is a rising far-right provocateur. With his father arriving in London for their first meeting in 15 years, Cho’s carefully curated world begins to fracture. When a "doxing" attack exposes his identity during a live stream, the digital vitriol spills into the physical world. Stalked, threatened, and cornered, Cho must navigate a collapsing web of lies before his father discovers the truth. Blending autobiographical elements with a gripping fictional narrative, Language of Joe and Cho is an intense one-actor exploration of digital radicalisation, familial duty, and the violent collision between our online personas and physical reality. Event Details Genre: Theatre Duration: 60 mins Price: £12 Social Media Instagram theatredockers Information Strong Language, Family Abuse, Political Extremism, Stalking. Suitable for ages: 16 and over World premiere See venue page for accessibility information.

To Capture The Wildlife (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Can a chance encounter ignite a friendship that transcends the trials and tribulations of life, love, and loss? To Capture the Wildlife is a musical about grief, young love, and navigating the pain of life and death. Struggling after the tragic loss of her mother, Morgan has a chance meeting with a mysterious girl in a graveyard. Soon, they begin to meet there every week and grow closer. Set in a graveyard with a two-person cast, this intimate, emotional show follows Morgan and the Girl as they share their joys, pains and struggles. With a track list of evocative original songs, To Capture the Wildlife illustrates how hope and young love stand strong in the face of grief and disillusionment with the modern world: beauty can be found in the small moments and places where you least expect it. “Profound, intricate, and deeply captivating” (5 stars, Durham Palatinate) To Capture the Wildlife opened to critical acclaim in February 2026 at Durham Drama Festival and makes its London premiere as part of Camden Fringe.

Bathroom (camden Fringe Festival)

Festivals & Events

Bathroom (camden Fringe Festival)

Humankind is often arrogant and self-centred, understanding others solely through their own perspective. We yearn for unity, yet overlook a fundamental truth: two whirlpools can only merge when both their direction and velocity satisfy exacting conditions. Tonight, the light in the rented flat's bathroom flickered out. That loving couple seemed to be arguing about something. The man insisted he loved her deeply, yet to her, it felt otherwise. I knew that woman must love him profoundly, but why couldn't he sense it? I saw two whirlpools beside the drain, spinning and spinning, yet they simply wouldn't merge... The audience witnesses their quarrel, their wounds, their bloodshed, yet cannot simply judge right from wrong. Here, love is both tender and razor-sharp. Through intensely concentrated spatial storytelling, we aim to immerse the audience within an emotional vortex, prompting a profound re-examination of ‘relationships’.

But when one of them begins to question their most... unconventional hobby, their carefully balanced marriage starts to unravel, spiralling into chaos that threatens to pull everyone down with it.

Sick Dog (camden Fringe)

Sick Dog (camden Fringe)

Winnie is dying (slowly – which is the worst way to go). She is despondent, miserable and fed up. She has isolated herself from her friends and family, but she is not alone. Eliza is the new top-model robot companion-carer, who looks after Winnie. Through God, pain, and Love Island, the two attempt to understand each other. These are two (sort of) beings who are desperate to love and be loved, in whatever form that takes. ‘Sick Dog’ asks questions about what it means to be human, the acceptance of death in a world that fears it and our future as maybe not the only creatures with the capacity to love.

Hello/Goodbye (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Hello/Goodbye (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Juliet - a frantic, spicy and out-there woman - is moving into what she thinks is her new flat when she finds a random man, Alex - who is neat, collected and nerdy - already moving into it. Which one of them does the flat actually belong to, and is that even the most important question? Through their differences they fight, laugh and fall in love with each other. This story questions what happens when you meet the person you were not expecting to be ‘the one’? It’s a story about life surprising you in every way. We follow Alex and Juliet at the beginning, and at the end of their love, but will it actually be the end?
