Having sold out at the 2022 Peckham Fringe Festival, Sunny Side Up returned to Theatre Peckham for a 3-week run in 2023. Peckham Fringe is a celebration of culture and a launch pad for creatives. It is the birth place of new, alternative and experimental performances that pushes boundaries and amplifies voices from all corners of society.

Dedicated to Sunday Alade AKA Sunny. RIP 26.05.2018.
