The Brunton continue to provide some of the best Scottish panto's in the country with another fantastic pantomime in this year's production of The Wizard of Oz.

Sarah Alexandra Brown and Ross Jamieson steal the show in this imperfect, yet charming, retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairytale, with a Scottish panto twist!

David Jonsson is sure to be a bonafide star come the end of this year and the world premiere of his first credit as playwright, Paldem, is certain to be part of the reason why. 

If you’re looking for absurdist comedy at this year's Fringe, then look no further! Fresh off his last play, another absurdist treat about a gibberish-talking Jellyfish-person and the repressive nature of traditional family values, Will Osbon returns with his latest show, Russian Roulette. 

Emily Wilson returns to the Fringe at long last and proves herself, yet again, as one of the funniest acts at this years Fringe.

Devil's Point is an interesting show with plenty of potential, but one which never quite succeeds in engaging us fully.

Christopher Macarthur-Boyd proves himself as one of the funniest men Scotland has ever produced. When you rock up to a venue during the Edinburgh Fringe only to be greeted by two separate lines - one for ticketed punters and another for hopefuls - in the hundreds (but which feels like thousands), something tells you that it’s a big deal.

An entire sketch comedy show based around real-life graffiti scrawled in toilet cubicles is the sort of premise you could only ever wish to come up with. Unfortunately, for any other sketch comedy groups looking for a good show idea, The Manchester Revue beat you to it. Though I’m sure audiences at this year's Fringe will be appreciative.

After years of writing for Michael Che and Colin Jost on Saturday Night Live, KC Shornima proves that some of her greatest material comes from writing for herself.

Horror media, in any form, is often one of the most difficult genres to get right. Scatter: A Horror Play may stumble but it never falters, crafting a play of exceptionally high quality.

The Durham Revue's latest may not be their finest hour, but it sure is a fun one.

Like Fleabag meets Normal People, this play from writer/star Ned Blackburn is one of the greatest Fringe shows you will ever see.

Sketch Thieves provides a solid afternoon of laughs.

Rhys Darby's brings his stand-up routine back to the Edinburgh Fringe and proves, yet again, why he is a true legend of the festival.

Following his sell-out 2023/24 runs, Stu returns to the Fringe with his highly anticipated new show about settling down, growing up and how he’s being controlled by his step-dog. Join the host of smash-hit podcast Some Laugh and star of BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad for another sensational hour in which he pokes fun at 30-something relationships, generational divides and why he doesn’t want to die surrounded by loved ones.

JELLYFISH is a one-act, absurdist comedy coming to Bedlam Theatre this April in collaboration with Filfbag Theatre. Winner of the 'English Literature Play' grant for 2025, awarded by the University of Edinburgh, William Osbon's 'weird and wonderfully original play' will have you 'hooked and baited' (York Vision, 2024).

Chris Thorburn shows off his terrific charisma and charming personality through the scope of one of his greatest loves - the movies.

The Edinburgh Revue mark a grand return to the Edinburgh Fringe.
