Candace Bryan isn’t a stranger to the Fringe and you may well have witnessed her first foray into the fray back in 2023. But this year she presents her first one hour show and we are very much here for it, not least because of the real life experiences it draws on. ‘MILF’ sees Bryan exploring events that befell her in 2024, while also telling the story of growing up without her mother present, and what happened when she came back into her life.

Opening at Stone Nest this week is a very intriguing participatory installation, inspired by tactical tabletop war games, and set on the morning of 6 January 2021 – the day that the US Capitol in Washington was attacked by supporters of Donald Trump. Called ‘Fight For America!’, it’s an event that explores political division and the dynamics of political conflict. Audiences will play the game, but if you’d rather take a backseat, observer tickets are available too.
