THE BIG BITE-SIZE BREAKFAST SHOW to Celebrate 15th Birthday at Pleasance Beyond
For the first time since 2019, it's back: bigger, better and now at the 336-seat, Pleasance Beyond.

Edinburgh's sell-out morning show returns to the Fringe to celebrate its 15th anniversary with three brand new rotating 'menus' of 10-15 minute plays.
For the first time since 2019, it's back: bigger, better and now at the 336-seat, Pleasance Beyond.
The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show team has been delighting early-bird audiences for 15 years with its award-winning selections of comedies, eccentricities and mini-dramas, all dished up alongside complimentary coffee, croissants, strawberries and a very warm welcome from the performers themselves.
Since its inception for the Brighton Fringe in 2006, the show has steadily built a wonderfully loyal following and enjoyed official EdFringe sell-out runs in 2017 and 2018 and the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Shortlist Award in 2019.
It has showcased the work of more than 170 emerging UK and international writers, given 1750 performances of short plays and served up more than 40,000 morning croissants to hungry theatre-lovers.
Nick Brice, the company's founder says: "We started out to shorten the distance between the page and the international stage for talented artists. It's grown to be a refreshing place to be each morning with three rotating menus of stimulating theatrical morsels."
The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show reliably offers an approachable, uplifting and thought-provoking start to every day at the Fringe. The team looks forward to giving a hearty welcome to both familiar faces and new friends at their big birthday breakfast at the Pleasance Beyond.
