We’re heading back to Edinburgh later in the month, but before we arrive to cast our beady eyes across the great and good of the performing arts, we’re sharing our round up of the most hotly anticipated shows at the Edinburgh Fringe!
Sadly not a musical, but a concert of random songs with some bits of the infamous panorama interview. Shame on the company for misleading audiences.
The Zach Zucker-hosted late-night showcase is still a hot-ticket – 90 minutes of organised mayhem.
Francisco de Nata is an irresistible treat at the world’s largest arts festival. Fun is alive and kicking, and you need this goofy giraffe in your life to rediscover your inner child and let go of being cool.
La Clique is in a fringe league of its own, creating spellbinding vaudeville magic IRL taking us away from our digital cage for a magical 100 minutes.
Diana Salles tells her own powerful story of transition through an incredible display of circus, dance and physical theatre.
Arielle Lauzon owns the stage in this easy-going – if narratively loose – circus confection.
