In my second article on LGBTQ+ shows at this year’s **Brighton Fringe**, I look at a gay prince, the best short queer films around, and a gay choir’s **Eurovision** tribute.

***Laugh Till It Hurts*** is billed as a BDSM comedy show. It’s one man’s voyage into fetish and kink. Get tied up in its net of humour at the **Actors**, **6-8 May**.

**Katherine and Pierre** will appear at the **Rotunda** from **14-16 May** in a genre-defying adventure from queer-led theatre company **Talksmall**.

***Iris On The Move*** presents the best of the bunch of short LGBTQ+ films as featured in the annual film festival. On **5 / 6 May** you can catch three collections of films at the **Actors**. You can watch a Voguing footballer, polyamorous mice, gay romance in a Chinese school choir and the rules of open relationships among many more.

***He/He/He*** at the **Actors** on **9/10 May.** everyone is invited to Indy Nile’s 25-year-late gender reveal party: spoiler- it’s a boy!

***Happy Ever Poofter*** is also at the **Actors** on **23/24 May**. Join Prince Henry, the only gay in the kingdom, on his quest for true love.

***Flying The Flag*** is presented by **Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus** as their tribute to the best of **Eurovision**. It’s at **St George’s Church** on **3/4 May**.

***Five Straight Men*** plays at the **Arcobaleno** from **12 May – 2 June**. What does non-binary sound like? Theatre makers explore what it means to be trans and non-binary today.

***Dyke Cabaret***, at the **Actors** on **1 June**, is an electrifying premiere, and the clue’s in the title.

Sharpen your pencils for ***Drag and Draw*** at **Bee’s Mouth** from **3-5 May**. An art class with a difference – it’s life drawing with drag artists as models.

***Crudi Dench – Someone Help Her*** at **Bar Broadway** on **26 May** is work in progress from an award-winning bearded lady.

**Cameron Sinclair Harris** – ***Planets*** is also a work in progress. At the **Rotunda** from **28-30 May**, this one queer deviant plays all eight planets in the solar system.

***Cabaret of Queeriosities***, on **31 May** at **Club Revenge**, is billed as an amazing night of queer fun.

***Big Lez Is Back***, on **11/12 May** at the **Actors**, stars **Lily Starr** aka Big Lez – Sydney’s hottest lesbian – and she’s back to make you laugh till you cry.

***Beat Inflation*** with **Sue The Cleaner** at the **Actors** on **1/2 June**, with queer tips to get you through the cost of living crisis.

***Babs For Life*** is at the **Three Jolly Butchers** from **29-31 May**. It’s a drag character comedy satirising UK politics.

***Two Queers in Tears*** is at the **Lantern Theatre** from 16-24 May. Not your regular love story – Billy and Elliott disagree about whether their play is fit for public view.

***Where Do All The Quiet Gays Go?*** on **18/19 May** at the **Actors**. What do you do when you’re gay but you don’t really think all the sex and partying is for you ?

***The Great ’80s and ’90s One Hit Wonder Songbook*** is probably the longest show title at this year’s Fringe. The amazing, often outrageous, **Paul Diello** plays **The Brunswick** from **23-25 May** with his camp and colourful cruise through two decades of hit songs.

***Spit It Out***, **22-26 May** at the **Rotunda**, is a new queer comedy about Emily, navigating the challenges of coming out as trans to her family, friends and at her workplace.

***Queer History Tour*** will travel round central Brighton from **18-25 May**, and is a short walking tour exploring some sites with connections to queer histories, people and places.

And finally, ***Queer A F Comedy*** is at the **Laughing Horse @ the Walrus**. Taking place on **2 June**, it’s a comedy show celebrating LGBTQ+ humour and talent.
