Club Fringe

Club Fringe is where it all happens after everything else stops. Even after you'd have thought it really should stop.
The Café-Bar under Windows Art Centre is the venue, sometimes we'll use upstairs as well, it depends on the get-out of whatever show has been on that evening, and other mystery & very Fringe influences. The bar will be open from 10.30, whatever; entertainment might begin at 11 or midnight or somewhere in between, depending on what else is on. We've tried to give an indication here, but whatever happens on the night is the true determining factor. It costs £3 every night. It's not open on Sundays because we're very respectable people.
Sometimes it'll be cabaret, sometimes live music, sometimes DJs, sometimes indefinable craziness, perhaps the listings below might help you to decide which.

These are the basic ClubFringe listings. We hope to be adding artists to the bill as we go on. Any that we know about will be highlighted here. Sometimes we don't know any more very much in advance. Sometimes these are the most Fringe moments of all.

24/05
Club Fringe Late Night
The Cosmic Sausages
They've played more streets than any beggar and more weddings than most vicars but still there is something special (yes I know how crap that sounds) about a Sausage show in Bath. The worst thing is they agree. We can guarantee the mutual admiration society will not be damaged by tonight's proceedings, no matter how hard we try.
10.30pm for 12 midnight
£3

25/05
Club Fringe Late Night
Espionage
Bristol's finest thinking person's left-field club night (no banging superclub anthems here, mate) has left it a long time before showing in Bath. You are going to enjoy this bigtime
10.30pm for 12 midnight
£3

27/05

Continuation from earlier session, Hip Hop is the reasoning.

29/05
Club Fringe Late Night
Hodmadoddery & Friends
Good-natured folk & contemporary acoustic with scattered sweet harmonic showers. Steve H'od & Tony Doddery have indeed located a Mad for the evening, or maybe more than one.
10.30pm for 12 midnight

30/05
Club Fringe Late Night
The Gaulois Brothers
French Cafe jazz is probably the most pleasant listenable & likeable music in the world. The Bros.G. leaven it with a little folk & blues just to make sure.
10.30pm for 12 midnight
£3

31/05
Club Fringe Late Night
DadaDa
Just that little bit more absurdity courtesy of the purveyors of the previous entertainment in this emporium. Ceci n'est pas une boite de nuit.

01/06
Club Fringe Late Night
Bedlam Cabaret
Bring a little more chaos into your life. Tonight's show will attempt to cram Stompy and Metal Bop Muddy from Dot.Comedy, Tragic Roundabout, and anyone else we can get to do ten minutes, into a very small sweaty and drink-sodden space. If you're lucky there will be room for you too.
10.30pm for 11pm
£3
