Welcome

Welcome to Watford Fringe Reviews!

 

Since 2017 the Pump House has hosted the Watford Fringe Festival. Each year since its inception the festival has grown in size and significance, welcoming Musical Plays, Comedians, Jazz, Folk, Indie Music, Rock Music, Musical Theatre, Belly Dancing, Workshops, Readings, Orchestras, Poetry, Musicians, Children’s acts, Magicians, Art, Khatak Dancing, Choirs, DJ’s... I've even performed more than a few times myself!

This blog, established in 2020, hopes to provide a platform to archive and reflect on the wonderful creativity inspired and supported by the the Watford Fringe Festival. My reviews obviously reflect a personal opinion, but I hope they also offer a chance for people to continue the conversation around the myriad and marvellous performances the Watford Fringe provides space for.

I won't be able to review every show, but I will review as much as I can. If you'd like to be reviewed, not just during the fringe, always feel free to get in touch by emailing podcast@pumphouse.info . You can also email if you have a local show or creative event you'd like to promote on my podcast What's On Watford. If you'd like to respond to a review, feel free to use the comments box.

I hope this blog will be a lively, vibrant space for up to the minute engagement with the Watford Fringe Festival as it runs, but also Watford culture more widely, from the Jazz Junction to amateur and professional performances throughout the year. If you'd like a review, get in touch and help me make this blog a positive, reliable resource for archiving and looking back on our town's exciting cultural diversity.

So thank you for visiting the blog, I hope you enjoy it. And even more, I hope you buy your tickets to this year's Watford Fringe, get along to our wonderful Pump House Theatre or any of the wonderful local venues across the UK, and enjoy the show!

Much love, Alex
