Edinburgh Fringe

Description

The Edinburgh International Festival may have come first, but generally it's the Fringe that Edinburgh is best-known for. There's really nothing quite like it - "the largest show on Earth".

The stats from the last normal Fringe bear that out: 2019 saw 3,841 shows in 323 venues across Scotland’s capital city.

It's a sprawling, anarchic, sleepless month of live performances. There are hundreds of free shows and pay-what-you-want shows at the Fringe as well.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Fringe in 2021 will be following a slimmed-down, hybrid programme of both live performances at fewer, socially distant in-person venues and online.

The Fringe Society is not printing a Fringe brochure in 2021, so check the Fringe website as shows are being added on an ongoing basis each week.

Each year, EG's Fringe team follows the drama, on stage and behind the scenes at the Fringe.
