Luke Rollason: Fol-De-Rol (Work In Progress)

If you are looking for something a bit different during this year's Brighton Fringe, Luke Rollason is bringing his work-in-progress show, Fol-De-Rol, to the Junk Poets at Caravanserai. It is scheduled for May 31, 2026, at 15:00. Rollason, who has a BAFTA win under his belt and is often cited as a key figure in the UK clowning scene, describes this particular show as a mix of foolish thoughts and apocalyptic visions. It is the kind of performance that leans into the surreal and the silly, which might be worth checking out if you enjoy comedy that steps outside the standard stand-up format.

Regarding the logistics, the venue is set up to be accessible, with wheelchair access, accessible toilets, and a policy that welcomes assistance dogs. The show itself has a recommended age guidance of 14+, though children under two can attend for free if they sit on a guardian's lap. It is worth noting that the performance includes specific content warnings: there will be audience interaction, strong language, nudity, loud noises, and references to violence. Knowing this beforehand helps in deciding if it is the right fit for your afternoon plans.

Tickets are priced at £12 for a standard entry, with a concession rate of £11 available. Since this is a work-in-progress show, it offers a chance to see the material in its developing stages within the unique setting of the Caravanserai site. It is a straightforward option for a Sunday afternoon if you are already planning to be around the Fringe venues and want to catch a performance that balances comedy with a more experimental, clown-based approach.
