The 77th annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe is now well underway, with over 3,000 shows taking over more than 250 venues in the Scottish capital. From theatre and comedy to art, music and dance, the Fringe is pretty much Christmas for culture lovers. Then, there’s the Edinburgh International Festival happening at the same time, which brings pioneering theatre, music and dance shows from across the globe.
From big-name comedians to theatrical walking tours, there’s literally something for everyone – and plenty left over besides. But with so much to choose from, what’s actually worth your time? The Time Out team are out on the ground reviewing shows across the Edinburgh Fringe and Edinburgh International Festival.
Get stuck in, have a read, and add a few more shows to your ‘must-see’ list.
We’ll be updating this page with more reviews throughout August. The initial reviews on the list are of London productions transferring up to the Fringe, that were reviewed by Time Out in London.
