Underbelly, George Square

The original Underbelly has been in operation at the Fringe since 2000.

The 2021 indoor ticketed venue features a programme of circus, comedy, family shows and cabaret as well as an open-air stage with performances from Scottish and UK based street artists.

George Square Gardens is free to enter. Visitors can enjoy street food, including Scottish Street Food Award winners, Barnacles and Bones, though performances are ticketed.

Booking in advance is recommended to avoid queues. 

Underbelly’s George Square site and programme has been awarded funding from the Scottish Government to help fund outdoor events and support the safe return of live events at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
