After an amazing response last year we have once again resurrected our Brighton Bites mini-interviews. These short and snappy Q&As offer an, occasionally witty – often hilarious, insight into the acts strutting, sailing, surfing (insert preferred form of transport here) in to join the line-up of England’s largest arts festival, Brighton Fringe. 2018 was a record-breaking year for the Fringe with over 575,000 people attending the festival; and with 2019 promising to be more inclusive than ever, our Bites aim to give you a taste of what’s in store across the 4,500+ events and performances that are on offer.
Next up, Barb Jungr tells us about Barb Jungr: Bob, Brel and Me! which is coming to the Komedia.

Radical, reinterpretations of classic Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan by Britan’s foremost cabaret, jazz singer

What do you think sets your show apart from all the other festival offerings?

What show do you not want to miss at this year’s Brighton Fringe (apart from your own!)?
Every single piece of great drama!
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given, or would give, for performing at a fringe festival?
Always have a smile ready, you’ll need it.
With the theme of this year’s festival being ‘DARE to Discover’, we’d like you to tell us a TRUTH – something about you or the show that fans may not know.
I don’t know why Brel and Dylan chose me! But I’m glad they did
