And who knows, they might even break the world record for the most cakes sat on in one sitting ;-)

Once the crumbs have settled, we’ll look back at some delicious highlights from the Fringe! archive, with screenings of spicy films from festivals past and reflections on sixteen years of queer organising and cultural programming 🎞️
