Dingus Khan
Electric ukulele, a frontman in a dress and heavy rock and roll fuse into a thrilling set from Dingus Khan.
DHSS Duckie
The future is fucked up, but not as fruitfully fucked up as this new crop of Duckie darlings of cabaret.
Elf Lyons
Geeky storytelling comedy from a newcomer to watch out for.
Funmbi Ometayo
Admittedly we saw Funmbi after a large glass of grog at Ed Fringe 15, all that said we think his comedy is genuinely refreshing and rib-tickling.
Katia Kvinge
Character comedy with a twisted sense of humour.
Glen Neath & David Rosenberg present Séance
Absolute darkness in a shipping container makes for the perfect séance and escape from the prettiness of Latitude Festival 2016.
Gob Squad Super Night Shot
Our fave Anglo-German performance playgroup gets back to their roots with a show about making the every day in a city a blockbuster.
GRAEAE: Reasons To Be Cheerful
Ok we went on about this one a lot earlier in the year. But this is truly a gem in the crown of awesome theatre company Graeae. See it and give yourself a chance to cheer the hell up!

Let's Eat Grandma
Happily hipster named band made up of best friends.
Jane Horrocks
If you kiss kiss me was a delightfully downbeat gig at Young Vic earlier this year. Jane Horrocks channels The Smiths and the like's back catalogue with sublime results.
Perfume Genius
'Don't you know your queen?' Ok we admit you may have heard of Perfume Genius. But have you seen the royal magic live? We think not.
Pumarosa
Nice looking 5 piece. Don't know anything about the musique.
Skinny Girl Diet
Pure punk pop with a riot girl edge.
SWNSNG PRESENTS M.E.T.H. - TRAPLORD OF THE FLYZ
"Boyz N the Hood meets 'Lord of the Flies'" apparently.
Tom Marshman and Home Live Art
The highlight of Latitude 2015, Tom Marshman is back at Home Live Art with a grandma character. Let the mayhem commence!
Viv Groksop: Be More Margot
Writer, presenter and twitterati Viv explores 'snobbery, class, Britishness and The Good Life' in this work in progress ahead of the Edinburgh Fringe debut.
