Something Fringe-y this way comes... We're excited to announce that we'll be performing Study Hell at the @durhamfringe this July! Over two nights, PhD students Alastair and Mitch will try to teach each other physics and history - what could go wrong?

Beneath this, red text reads "See us after class", with black text reading "Sat 27 June 10.35pm, Sun 28 June 9.15pm". At the bottom is a dark blue footer with the Durham Fringe logo and dates.

Mitch is getting in the history mood for tonight's @durhamfringe show. What is he thinking about? Is that pipe real? What would it be like to be held in those strong arms...? For answers to these questions and more, see you this evening for another show!

The History show is this evening! One more show at the @durhamfringe for another night of learning, laughing, and loving... maybe. Which means its time for a quick Mock Exam! Let us know how well you did at @cafedral this evening!

Answer: 4 (obviously)! Of course, could it be anything else? After Alastair learned so much about (very accurate) science last night, can Mitch learn all there is to know about history before the funding runs out?

How did you do? 5/5? Come down to the show and let us know! Less than full marks? Sounds like somebody needs to come to the show and get some extra revision in!

We managed to catch @shellshockimpro this evening at the @durhamfringe - what a laugh! We had great fun watching them recreate the events of the Norman conquest of 1066, though Alastair still isn't sure he remembers an apple seed, or an XXL slingshot, on the Bayeux tapestry...

They're well-worth the watch, so if you're free tomorrow at 5:45pm, head on over to the City Theatre! You can book tickets here: durhamfringe.co.uk/events/hy… Why not go in for the three-ticket deal and catch Shellshock, us, and any other of the great acts at the Fringe?

Time for our poster reveal! We're performing at the @durhamfringe in just over 3 weeks' time, on Sat 29/Sun 30 July. We're in Cafedral 🫖 from 10:35pm/9:15pm respectively. Tickets @ tinyurl.com/2awj926k Poster art by the ever-incredible @maryandtheworld; thank you Marie😍
An image of our show's poster. The poster is of a blue exercise book on a wooden table. The namebox of the book reads "Educated Idiots presents Study Hall". The a in "hall" is crossed out and replaced with an e, to read "study hell". A yellow post-it note says "see me after class", and then gives the dates and times "Sat 29th 10:35pm, Sun 30th 9:15pm". Pages sticking out of the book have the ticket price, £9, the Durham Fringe logo, and a ticket QR code on. The book cover has been doodled on.
