Brighton Fringe has officially launched.
Following a successful run at Brighton Fringe in 2015 and two previous sold-out and critically acclaimed runs at the King's Head Theatre, 5 Guys Chillin' returns this February.
Christmas is the one time of year you can drag your non-theatre-going friends to the theatre.
