The New Year

The New Year

Aug 7 – Aug 15, 2026

A romantic tragicomedy following lonely teenagers who meet on New Year’s Eve in an online roleplay chatroom. May is May. Perry is British actor Matt Smith. Their conversation that night, unexpectedly intimate, forms a bond between the two: they become each other’s best friend...

Parking Spot: The Musical!

Parking Spot: The Musical!

Aug 7 – Aug 22, 2026

Will just got his first car at 33. There's nowhere to park it. When a private spot opens up on his Jersey City block, five neighbours make a silent calculation: whoever gets it gets the life they've been putting off. What follows is sabotage, catfishing and a traffic cone with...

Girlfriends: A Not So Straight Play

Girlfriends: A Not So Straight Play

Aug 7 – Aug 29, 2026

A true-enough, one-woman, cross-country cabaret-play. Drive across the USA in 2014 with one impulsive, weepy 22-year-old in a spray-painted Honda Civic. She will sing for gasoline, frighten bears with Shakespeare, try out vibrators in Texas, learn to smoke by Arizona and how to...

The Lady Doth Protest

Aug 17 – Aug 29, 2026

The Lady Doth Protest is a dark comedy that offers a sharp, witty, and unflinching examination of power, agency, and the labels placed on women who refuse to remain silent. The production subverts classic theatrical archetypes to confront modern truths, elevated by an original...

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: DIARY OF A MAD MAN, Assembly Roxy

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: DIARY OF A MAD MAN, Assembly Roxy

by Cindy Marcolina · August 10, 2026

At this stage there’s really nothing to celebrate in this show. The script needs to dig deeper to find what it truly wants to say. Right now, it swings between far-right propaganda and alarming controversy too dangerously. It wouldn’t be a problem if its societal critique was more decisive or tr…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: LIVE FROM THE AFTERLIFE, Assembly Roxy

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: LIVE FROM THE AFTERLIFE, Assembly Roxy

by Cindy Marcolina · August 10, 2026

Charlie Kilgore was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was a baby. Knowing he had an expiration date from a very young age led him to take as much pleasure from this world as he could. A gifted songwriter with a deadly sense of humour, he tells us his journey, re-contextualising the burden of li…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: NOTED, Assembly Roxy

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: NOTED, Assembly Roxy

by Cindy Marcolina · August 10, 2026

Their mise-en-scène looks more like child’s play, entirely removed from reality, than any kind of traditional performing art. Unserious and playful, this is a totally unexpected show. From flat dinner parties to sporting competitions, all the way through horse racing, seances, synchronised swimmi…

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: GARETH WAUGH: IS PEPSI OK?, Monkey Barrel 2

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: GARETH WAUGH: IS PEPSI OK?, Monkey Barrel 2

by Chloe Buckley · August 10, 2026

With carefully developed storytelling, plenty of laughs and a story that increasingly becomes more unbelievable as it unfolds, 'Is Pepsi OK?' proves that sometimes the funniest comedy comes from the most unexpected situations.…

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BRITNEY: HOLY MACKEREL!

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BRITNEY: HOLY MACKEREL!

by Natalie O'Donoghue · August 10, 2026

Thank God you're here! We have so much to tell you!! Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson (aka double act Britney) are back. And this time? They're doing sketches again. When they last appeared at the Fringe, Britney's was one of the Best-Reviewed Shows (Comedy.co.uk). Since then, Charly has played Stev…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE PLOT, Summerhall

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE PLOT, Summerhall

by Cindy Marcolina · August 9, 2026

Sophie Kean and Abby McCann lead this historical intrigue. They are compelling in their performances, introducing a variety of characters that amuse and entertain. A dark whimsy surrounds the project, but there’s very little substance to it. Howlett toys with form and structure, but never settles …
