Pride at theSpaceUK: Top-Tier LGBTQ+ Picks at Edinburgh Fringe 2024

Double Fringe First Award winners Xhloe and Natasha return to the Fringe with their newest play, A Letter to Lyndon B Johnson or God: Whoever Reads This First. In this absurdist piece of physical theatre, Xhloe and Natasha discuss boyhood, growing up and gender norms. Stand up comedian Brett Epstein reflects on being an artist, being alone and being authentic in his brand new solo show Brett Epstein: Alone On Stage. With a blend of humour and introspection, wit and charm, and his ability to be vulnerable and honest, this solo show engages and connects with an audience.The Freemartin is a puppet-filled, absurdist, funny attempt to understand why the world is cruel to trans people, and why you should be worried about it. It's set at an agricultural conference so is also about fences, tractors, cows and even has some terrible dancing.'I think I felt so happy in my label up until now that it feels so scary for it suddenly not to fit right any more.' Cherry follows Kelsie as she navigates her feelings, her friendships and exploring a new label: asexuality. The show encapsulates the experience of finding your true, queer self and your people when emerging into adulthood.

An absurdist comedy exploring social media, anxiety and climate collapse, The Gentleman of Shalott is a queer retelling of Tennyson's poem the Lady of Shalott. It touches on dating apps (think Grindr), mental health and relationships, all set in a tower on an island.

Following the success of their five star, award nominated debut, Black Bright Theatre Company returns to the Fringe with Birdwatching, a new folk horror centering female, queer and neurodivergent experiences.

When in Florida & Outside of Kent is a queer political play discussing the impact of Florida's Don't Say Gay bill and its impact on the next generation of the LGBTQIA+ community alongside a tale of a relationship falling apart.

Finding themselves crushed under the unbearable weight that is teenagerdom, three teenage girls take to the woods to clear their minds and make some tough decisions. We Used to be Girl Scouts is a triptych of the pain, joy and big feelings that make up adolescent girlhood.

theSpaceUK is delighted to host a range of queer talent and stories at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024.
