Cabaret, comedy and theatre - much of it first encountered at the Edinburgh Fringe - come together for a festival where the outcome of each event is utterly dependent on what the audience say and do.

Rather than a cabaret presenting short turns by multiple acts, the Not Television Festival will be a showcase for a raft of standalone shows, seasoned with a few added extras. There will also be live music, pop-up art and a surprise or two.

It’s a defiantly eclectic mix but there’s one thing uniting the whole weekend: the outcome of each event depends on the audience. Call it participation, call it immersion, call it whatever you like.

The Not Television Festival is all about shows that are different every time. Shows that look you in the eye, reach out a hand and invite you to converse, collaborate and conspire. Unrehearsable, unpredictable and unrepeatable shows that gets you buzzing in places the telly just can’t reach.

The acts on the bill include:

Red Bastard, Tomás Ford’s Electric Midnight Cabaret, Miss Behave’s Gameshow, The Sunday Assembly, White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, The Creative Martyrs: Cabapocalypsaret, Drawabout + new discoveries straight from the Fringe.
