Orlando Fringe announced Monday the dates and lineup for its returning four-day winter festival in January.

FestN4, a curated festival by the arts nonprofit, will feature more than 20 shows by both returning Fringe artists and brand-new creatives. It takes place Jan. 8 to 12 at the Fringe ArtSpace in downtown Orlando. All ticket proceeds go back to the local, national and international artists featured.

“FestN4 provides a great taste of the wonder of Fringe and gets everyone excited for the big May Festival,” Tempestt Halstead, Orlando Fringe’s artistic director, said in a release. “We look forward to seeing the amazing Fringe family at ArtSpace this January!”

Shows include local productions like “Psych! A Diagnostic Stand-up Therapy Comedy Show” and “Your Mom’s in My Top 8: A Pop-Punk Celebration.” There will also be national shows, including “Furniture Boys” from New York City and “Suff(rage)” from Oxford, Mississippi, as well as international productions such as “Colonial Circus: A Hysterical Show on the History of Colonization” from Ontario.

The festival will bring back Fringe fan favorites, including the FestN4 Teaser Show, Fringe AfterDark: WTF(ringe) Cabaret and FestN4 Awards. There will additionally be FestN4 kids events, like family-friendly shows and an arts market, showcasing visual exhibits and offering artist meet-and-greets.

The Fringe ArtSpace bar and concessions will be available between shows, while local artists and vendors offer artisan items and artwork for purchase.

All FestN4 guests must purchase a button for $3 for access to all shows, along with a ticket to individual shows for $15, with the exception of kids shows which range from being free to $5.
