UK Fringe Resources Wanted

June 8, 2009 6:33 PM

What are some great resources, preferably online, of fringe arts (burlesque, cabaret, circus, improv, street theatre, etc) in the United Kingdom?

I only know of Ministry of Burlesque and that's it. I'm looking for listings of events, schools, workshops, venues, performers, anything to do with the more oddball non-conventional performing arts. I'll likely be concentrating on England, but Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland-related links are good too.

Well there are the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Brighton Festival Fringe, for starters.
