With less than a week until the Brighton Festival Fringe starts, the Spiegeltent is already taking shape.

The venue is setting up camp in Old Steine, Brighton, and a circus with a spaceship big top has also pitched up on Hove Lawns.

Tickets for some Fringe shows have already sold out and others are selling fast. Many shows have four-for-three ticket offers and the Fringe is offering a 25% discount on selected shows when more than 20 tickets are booked.

Embassy Court Tours, Josie Long’s one-off Fringe show at the Three and Ten, and many dates at Bom-Banes café have all sold out.

Henning When – 1,000 Years of German Humour at Komedia is putting on a second show after selling out of tickets.
