In a series of interviews, we are chatting to artists involved with the 2024 Wandsworth Fringe. The Fringe Festival runs from 7th until 23rd June.
In this interview, we chat with Furzedown Pridestravaganza about their show which runs at the Furzedown pub on 14th June.
Where did your arts career begin?
Our career in producing shows began last year. We knew there was a hit show in the making and we were right!

Where did the idea for the show come from?
The idea for Furzedown Pridestravaganza came from my twin sons George & Henry. My partner (a guy) and I (another guy) adopted our boys ten years ago. We were walking down our street one day and one of the boys said, "there's a lot of gays on our street." "How many do you think there are?" the other one asked. We then totted up the people we knew and it came to fifteen. One of the boys
said, "That's enough for a Pride Parade!" And that was the beginning of Furzedown Pridestravaganza!
