Introducing The Chesham Fringe Festival 2024
A Three-Day Entertainment Extravaganza
Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of arts, culture and entertainment at the inaugural Chesham Fringe Festival, taking place across the late May Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday 25th to Monday 27th May 2024.
Modelled on the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Chesham Fringe Festival promises to bring a vibrant array of local, national and international talent and creativity to this Buckinghamshire town at the end of the Metropolitan Line, providing entertainment for all and an important boost to local businesses.
Chesham Fringe Festival will run across three days, seeing the innovative town of Chesham come alive with the sound of laughter, music and the magic of the performing arts and the opportunity to experience acts preparing to perform in Edinburgh. With a diverse lineup including comedy, music, theatre, cabaret, spoken word, book and poetry readings and more, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
The festival will feature a variety of acts performing across multiple venues strategically scattered within a one-mile radius from the centre of Chesham, creating a vibrant cultural hub spanning from Chesham United Football Club to the renowned Elgiva Theatre.
To make the Chesham Fringe Festival experience even more enjoyable, a dedicated team of volunteers, affectionately known as "Fringe Makers," will be on hand to guide and support visitors throughout the event.
Mark Rann from the Organising Committee quoted “Whilst Chesham Fringe 2024 promises to be a phenomenal launch event, our vision extends beyond next year. We are committed to establishing Chesham Fringe as an annual tradition to enrich our community's cultural tapestry and foster local and national artistic talent, both new and well-established.
Behind the scenes, we are working tirelessly to curate a lineup of amazing acts, bands, and performers to dazzle and captivate audiences. Our goal is to ensure the resounding success of Chesham Fringe and to provide unforgettable entertainment for all”.
The Chesham Fringe Festival 2024 Organising Committee is bursting with excitement and enthusiasm for what promises to be an extraordinary cultural celebration. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Chesham Fringe Festival 2024, where the arts will flourish, laughter will be contagious, and memories will be made.

Kirsty Newton Biography
Kirsty is a multi-talented musician, singer, songwriter, musical director, entertainer, comedy performer and improviser, compere and ‘human jukebox’. She performs around the world with a huge variety of wonderful artists from the worlds of music and comedy, wearing many different hats and showcasing her versatile talents.
In addition to her signature interactive live show, Kirsty’s Poptastic Piano Singalong, where she shows off her remarkable musical ear, improvisational flair and crowd-pleasing skills, she is also in great demand as a solo performer and host for music and comedy shows, festivals, private parties and events.
Kirsty can tailor and adapt her act for any occasion, serious or funny (or both), even writing a song to order if required. Bookings and enquiries can be made here: https://www.kirstynewton.com/portfolio/contact/
2019 was a whirlwind year for Kirsty. She appeared as one of ‘The 100’ music industry judges on BBC1’s primetime Saturday night singing talent show All Together Now, the resident pianist on Al Murray’s Great British Pub Quiz on Quest TV and in the house band for BBC Scotland’s Love Song.
In March 2019, she reunited with close friend and Siskin bandmate Galen Ayers (daughter of cult psychedelic music pioneer Kevin Ayers) for a tour of Japan and a show in Los Angeles. From April to June 2019 she joined the brilliant Paul Merton’s Impro Chums for their UK theatre tour and later performed a sold-out run with them at The Pleasance Grand at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
June and July saw her return to musical direction and performance with comedy legend Arthur Smith for his run at Soho Theatre before another stint in Edinburgh with his acclaimed show about Arthur’s remarkable father, Syd.
While at the Fringe, she also musically directed and co-performed in The Scott Walker Song Book with Andy Davies and appeared with the sensational party band Massaoke, with whom she regularly plays huge events and festivals around the country all year long.
As if that wasn’t enough stage time in Edinburgh 2019, she also reprised her role from 2 years earlier as the sole musical improviser in the triumphant sold-out return of Whose Line Is It Anyway? every night of the Fringe, starring the original TV cast and continuing a childhood dream.
Autumn saw Kirsty join musical comedy geniuses Jonny & The Baptists for select dates of their UK tour. As well as regularly guesting with legendary improvisers The Comedy Store Players and booking and co-presenting London’s top musical comedy night The Distraction Club, she rounded off 2019 by hosting The Big Sing on Christmas Eve at Halifax’s historic Piece Hall.
In January 2020 Kirsty was flying down the French Alps on skis and performing both music and comedy in Meribel, Courchevel and at the inaugural Les Gets Comedy Festival. In February, it was her first time at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, performing Massaoke at The Musicals with the main band, fronting the brand new Massaoke Oz band with the sell-out Mixtape show and having the time of her life in the sunshine.
Arriving back in the UK in mid-March, the live entertainment industry suddenly ground to a halt due to Covid-19, with all future live shows cancelled or postponed indefinitely. However, Kirsty has been busy during lockdown, learning new skills like how to do gigs and singalongs via Zoom, how to make silly comedy sketches on iMovie and how to be a puppy parent to a bouncing bundle of fluff.
Kirsty can't wait to be back in front of live audiences again this summer!
Until then, you’ll find Kirsty at home in her lovely hometown of Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, hanging out with comedian husband Nick Doody and their dog, Adelaide Parkin.
