If you’re not going up to Edinburgh this year, don’t worry – there’s another Fringe happening right here in London! The Camden Fringe’s eighth year running is taking place between 29th July and 25th August. It’s a chance to see some fantastic comedy and theatre, and an opportunity to see some familiar faces before they depart for Scotland.

One of those faces is our very own Rosie Wilby, who – along with being a finalist back in 2006 – recently compered one of our 2013 Funny Women Awards heats. Rosie’s new show Is Monogamy Dead? brings up an unlikely conversation about open relationships, in a loose sequel to her sellout 2009 hit The Science of Sex.

The new show investigates the age-old conflict between freedom and commitment. From modern life and internet dating, to the views of the older generation who’ve stayed together, and even incorporating the results of her very own anonymous online survey, Rosie explores one of the fundamental questions of a relationship in the twenty-first century…

"Excellent and a bit posh"Time Out

You can catch Is Monogamy Dead? at the Camden Head on Monday 29th July at 9.30pm, as part of the Camden Fringe.
