We’ve been excited about the first ever Capital Fringe Festival, which kicks off all over the city on July 20, for months. So you’ll forgive us if we’ve spent nearly all morning today checking out the Festival’s entire line-up, which was just put up on their web site in a spiffy, sortable interface. Neat.

As fun as it is to sift through all the strange and fantastic-sounding show names, so far it seems to us you can get the most utility out of sorting by presenter, which allows you to search for what your favorite local theater company will be bringing to the Fringe table. For example, looks like DCist favorite Meat & Potato will be presenting their mythical origin story show Beginnings, which we enjoyed last month, and Rorschach will be getting even more ambitious than usual with a premiere of Arabian Nights.

Of course, the whole concept of a Fringe festival is the opportunity to see truly oddball, out there stuff from people you’ve probably never even heard of, and the Capital Fest’s lineup seems sure not to disappoint in this regard. The Vaud Rats, described as a “‘Tour-de-force’ Ukulele Operetta — a blacklisted Vaudevillian falls head over heals for a midget sidekick in a strong-man routine,” sounds pretty much like a sure thing, Riding the Dragon: Raw and Bareback looks perfectly controversial and tawdry, and DC Dollies and Rocket Bitch Revue’s May 39th is sporting the tagline: “1,000 years from now. Dating in DC will still blow,” which sounds like an honest and truthful interpretation of the future.

Check out the lineup for yourself, and consider buying a festival pass, which run between $75 and $300. Tickets for individual performances, which generally cost about $15 each, go on sale July 10.
