THANK YOU!
The sun has set on the 12th Camden Fringe so it's time to say a few thank yous.
Firstly, and most importantly, a huge round of applause for everyone who bought a ticket to a show. Without you the fringe would be a bunch of people talking to themselves in darkened pub function rooms. Special appreciation for Simon B, who saw a mammoth 81 Camden Fringe shows over the last 4 weeks (oh, and 18 other performances that weren't part of our festival) What an incredible supporter of the arts!
Big love to all the acts who participated this year. Without you the Fringe would just be empty, darkened pub function rooms. We've had some really brilliant shows this year, from companies old and new, and we know how hard you've worked to put on quality productions.
Of course, without the darkened pub function rooms there would literally be nothing, so our hugest appreciation goes to all the venues who offered their space this month. Most venues don't have a very large staff, so they work extra hard to deal with the additional shows on during the Fringe and do amazing job keeping everything going (as well as the months of programming beforehand.) We hope you've all discovered some great new talent.
Thanks to the reviewers and interviewers who have taken the time to write and publish about Camden Fringe shows. We've had some great 5 star reviews this year, and there might even be a few more to come (crosses fingers.)
Personal thanks to Debbie Manley for taking care of our press needs and  Chris Limb at Catmachine for again designing our website and brochure. You are superstars.
Thanks also to Red61 for looking after the ticketing side of things and StageDoor for their support.
2017 has been a great year for the Camden Fringe - we've sold more tickets than ever before (a tangible fact) and we've had great quality shows. It has felt like that, after 12 years, the Camden Fringe is quite well established. We've got a number of regular attendees and Time Out actually did two pieces on us this year.
All of this IS the Camden Fringe, so thank you everyone!
Michelle and Zena ("Team" Camden Fringe - yep, it's still just the two of us.)

Paul Kerensa: Navelless Gazing Camden Comedy Club, part of Camden Fringe 27 August 2017
‘Unusual stand-up comedy about lack of a belly button’
Paul Kerensa is an unusual man – he hasn’t got a belly button. Never had one. Doesn’t see the point. But the audience at his show Navelless Gazing discovered the reason for his lack of an “innie” or an “outie”. An unusual subject for self-confessional comedy but Kerensa delivers a difficult subject with elan.
This was very much an exploratory night of material and Kerensa asked the audience several times if he was going too far with his tales of operations (99, why didn’t they give me the extra one) and catheters. It was a hard question to answer. The audience were with him for most of it, although I admit I blanched a couple of times but my companion had no problems with the material at all.
Kerensa comes across as a warm and self-effacing man – telling touching and amusing tales of his health battles – his nerdy youth and family. He took the step to tell his story after his doctors encouraged him to – sadly a tale of NHS shortages.
Kerensa has written for Miranda, TGI Friday and Top Gear and it shows. There were some good one-liners: Americans, you gotta love ‘em – or they bomb you. The Top Gear writing, he admits wryly, was when Chris Evans was part of it. He told a catheter story involving Evans and Matt Le Blanc. Far more interestingly, he revealed that Le Blanc had plenty of Friends stories (not so many from his Joey spin-off, quipped Kerensa). I would certainly have liked to hear some Friends gossip, so perhaps that’s one to think about.
The highlight of the evening had to be his Xmas song book using common metre to sing one song to the tune of the other. It gave us Shepherd’s Watched to the tune of Pop goes the Weasel and God Rest You Merry Gentlemen to something else that had everyone in hysterics. This has to be one to develop.
