People of Wanstead, September is here, When local events step up a gear. Comedy, theatre, jazz, art and rhyme, The mix is eclectic, the content sublime. From pubs to churches, it’s a varied arena, There’s even an event about the wine of Argentina. Three solid weeks, it’s a cultural binge, I’m talking, of course, about the Wanstead Fringe. Cultural activities here were once thin on the ground, But thanks to the Fringe, they’re now easily found. It all started back in 2013, Much smaller then, but people were keen. Each year it grew, with events aplenty, Apart from the COVID break of 2020. Now 10 years on, it’s bigger than ever, And continues to provide enlightening pleasure. Famous authors will keep us in the know, Including a chat with Jonathan Coe. Making us laugh will be comedian Paul Sinha, Fresh from The Chase, he’s always a winner. St Mary’s will host tours of the crypt, And Wanstead Theatre Co has a rugby-themed script. Photographer Geoff Wilkinson often appears on these pages, He’ll be discussing his career (which has lasted for ages). A musical in a church and an interview with a lord, Guitarist Pete Black will strike the right chord. Musicians Joe Walters and Lucy Crowe, Are to perform an experimental music show. Will Gompertz, another big name taking part, He’ll be talking about all things art. More than 100 events are ready to book, Truly something for everyone, do take a look.
