Greater Manchester Fringe Festival comes to Salford

A jammed packed 31-day arts festival is coming to Greater Manchester this summer.

An open access arts festival featuring drama, comedy, visual arts, storytelling and so much more! Ticket prices are low, sometimes FREE.

Take a look at some of the acts performing in Salford this summer:

NATHAN CASSIDY: AMNESIA – Saturday 1 July, 8pm | Salford Arts Theatre.

Multi award-winning comedian Nathan Cassidy has been told he must make his stand-up ‘TikTok ready’. So here are 29 routines of two minutes each with absolutely no connection and instantly forgettable. Nathan, nominated for Best Comedy at the Greater Manchester Fringe 2021, is the host of global hit podcasts Psycomedy and Daily Notes and star of Amazon Prime specials ‘Observational’ and ‘Bumblebee’.

SMELL THE ROSES – Saturday 1 to Monday 3 July, 9pm | King’s Arms

Puddle Theatre Company have rose to the occasion to bring you a romantic comedy that will make your hearts bloom. Come along to Molly's florists as she proves herself once and floral to her family, waters the gardens of love and plants a few bad seeds along the way. Miscommunication and misunderstandings can make for some rather rosey cheeks. Don't sleep on this one, wake up and smell the roses.

Made possible through the generosity of the Liam Byrne Award fund and support of New Adelphi Theatre, University of Salford.
