SUMMARY:Durham Free Fringe
DESCRIPTION:Durham Free Fringe aims to offer performance spots to all who apply\, which has been made possible by the addition of two venues. Redhills Durham Miners Hall will be the hub for the many spoken word acts taking part. Meanwhile\, The Market Tavern joins The Holy GrAle as a second pub-based venue\, and these spaces will host the majority of music events. The Holy GrAle and Market Tavern will begin hosting events on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th July\, Redhills will then run from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August. The Sunday will also feature a music finale at the Holy GrAle. \nThe line up for 2nd August is: \n  \nWords on a North East Street presented by Dan Husband\nAndrew Mears has led a call for 100 poets from the NE to produce a book of 100 poems about homelessness.  This has helped support homelessness charities all over the North East and is growing into community led talks\, fundraisers and awareness meetings. From 3.00 p.m. \n  \nDomesticon.\nAn experimental solo spoken word & comedy performance unpacking lived (and dead) experience of domesticity\, consumerism\, grief\, mothers (mams)\, relationships\, supermarkets\, education\, and health through performative poetic outputs. Trigger warnings: grief\, death and Tesco. 3.30 p.m. (60 min) \n  \nMwelwa Chilekwa: ReSIStance\nWomen are the villains and society is the judge\, jury and executioner. Our heads lay bare on the guillotine and with one false move… But this show changes our story and empowers others. A passionate and emotive one-woman show featuring poetry to SMASH the patriarchy. From light-hearted topics like school life and dating to the more darker aspects: abuse and sexual assault. Trigger warning for those topics\, this is how the world is. Experiences far too many women and girls\, myself included\, face. Why? Together\, no matter your gender\, we are going to put the sis in resistance! 4.35 p.m. (60 min) \n  \nAnne-Marie Draycott: The Good Girl is Revolting\nShe was taught to stay quiet & small. Not anymore. A sharp\, funny spoken word show about women taking up space and reclaiming their voice. Raised to keep the peace\, Anne-Marie learned early that staying small meant staying safe – but at what cost? Through honest and at times light-hearted spoken word\, she draws on her experience of growing up around domestic violence and unpicks the invisible rules that teach girls and women to be polite\, quiet and accommodating. But no more. The “good girl” is revolting. 6.00 p.m. (45 min) \n  \nGeorgia Goodson: Terrible Beautiful Things\nGeorgia builds a set around her latest publication\, with bits and pieces thrown in from the previous\, as well as some unpublished work that is building for a potential future release. Big themes of grief\, nature\, loss\, love. 6.50 p.m (20 min) \n  \nStories from the Streets: Dan Husband\n‘Stories from the Streets’ strays away from the one hour show to be broken down across a weekend\, whilst allowing other spoken word talent and opportunity to showcase their style alongside me! Think less all my ramblings\, think more ‘Husband Material presents:’ D.L. ‘Dan’ Husband is a North East England born & bred writer\, poet and performer. With two collections (HMVI & HMV II) published alongside a score of individual pieces in various publications\, he pens poetry and prose with acid in the inkwell & compassion in the heart. Unflinching writing and performances at various venues and Fringe festivals discussing addiction\, homelessness\, life\, love\, growth and all that lies in between. He has also featured on BBC upload ‘best of 2025’ show and the Northern Voices podcast. “He’s absolutely FAB”  (Emma Millen\, BBC UPLOAD) Guests: Gary the Hat\, Gaeran Southern\, Kev Robson\, Adam Berkeley 7.15 p.m. (30 mins) \n  \nStories from the Streets: Brogan Brannan\nBorn in Somerset\, raised in Scotland\, sullying the north east for the past 6 years\, Brogan is a spoken word poet and performer with salty rants\, structured rhymes and no reservations. Her work often illuminates how deeply personal experiences are often universally felt and she doesn’t shy away from the grisly details. Grab her anytime she’s not on stage to buy a QR code to download her audio album and take some pieces of her home! 8.00 p.m. (30 mins) \n  \nKeith Ford\nKeith Ford is responsible for: 6% of the musical talent in Mr Ford and Mr Gibbs; 11% of the beauty and brains in Mr Ford and Mrs Ford; 3% of the inherent hiphoprisy in Geordie Genes; 49% of the cheerfulness in DJ Cheap and Cheerful; 17.3% of Speech Therapy’s hosting history; 0.2% of his own browsing history. However\, he is entirely 100% responsible for any of the nonsense in his poetry. You do the math…. 8.35 p.m (60 min)
