Edinburgh Festival

Jane and Toni are immaculate, iconic, accommodating flight attendants. They're here for your safety, your comfort and your pleasure. Or so you think. But 30,000 feet below them their seemingly perfect lives are rapidly unravelling.

Join the BBC New Comedy Award finalist and wheelchair enthusiast as he tells you about how his first paid gig led to him performing on BBC2 a year later, and what happens when you are being trolled online for not being disabled enough.

Utterly and brilliantly bonkers improvisation from New Zealand

Written and directed by Adrian Jackson. 'I was murdered once'. Shocking stories (and wild speculations) about the lives and deaths of homeless people. A Windrush generation boxer, a Polish migrant marked with a tattoo and a man with a bottle of gin and a television in his shopping trolley. Playfully serious and seriously playful. Last seen at the Fringe with Cathy in 2017, Cardboard Citizens return with an eye-opening collection of homeless histories. Are we mere bystanders?

A cast of 12 stunning demi-gods, with a love of stones much like Makka Pakka (see In the Night Garden on CBeebies) and a need to be at one with mystical gravel, begin to empty buckets of said gravel, which is then strewn across the stage utterly gloriously, creating a vision of turquoise light and dust.

In Clare Pointing's spectacular solo show, we meet six characters, all visibly pregnant, but not always acknowledging this.

A new parody musical, inspired by the iconic TV show. When Ross' wife leaves him for another woman, he fears he will never find love again. But then Rachel runs back into his life... will he end up with his true love? Featuring original songs: (He's her) Lobster!, Richard's Moustache and You're Over Me? When Were You Under Me?, the gang take on naked Thursdays, a power cut and a dinosaur convention. What could possibly go wrong? This is a loving parody not to be confused with the Warner Bros Entertainment Inc series Friends.

When life gives you lemons, squirt them in people's eyes. Catherine Bohart's back for a second year at the Pleasance Courtyard.

The Cambridge Impronauts bring their rom-com inspired show, Improv Actually, to the Edinburgh Fringe.

The group then attempt to improvise a full romantic comedy within an hour using that character as the protagonist.

It may not be Christina Bianco's first time at the Fringe but she brings her hilarious new impressionist show, First Impressions to Assembly Checkpoint. Bianco hails from New York and is famous for her fabulous diva impressions, from Julie Andrews to Liza Minelli, some of which have gone viral on YouTube.

Did you know Mark Watson went on a reality TV show about surviving on an island for a month? It seems not many did. Not to worry, as he shares what he gleaned from that experience in a show called How You Can Almost Win.

Many are familiar with the tradition of singing 'Auld Lang Syne' at the end of ceilidhs, or to bring in the new year. How much do we know of what the man who wrote it left behind? Burns: A Lost Legacy, directed by Melanie Bell, tells the story of Robert Burns' granddaughter, Sarah (Bethany Tennick) and her fight to keep the royalties for her grandfather's poems in the family.

Amy Booth-Steel picked up a ukulele while trying to find a new hobby and started to post performances of candid songs about life on twitter earlier this year. Fast forward to August and she has crafted a solo show, with direction from Kathy Burke, called #HonestAmy a?' because she, in her own words, a?oetells it like it isa??.

While Edinburgh may be a hub of activity at the best of times, not just August, Islander: A New Musical transports its audiences to the remote island of Kinnen. The piece of music theatre is part of the Made in Scotland 2018 showcase.

The Saturday Night Live writer and former editor-at-large of online satirical women's magazine Reductress comes to the Fringe for the first time with a show all about true crime, the dark side of reality TV and very powerful ghosts. As seen on Comedy Central and CollegeHumour and heard on The Guilty Feminist podcast.

What makes a killer? What makes the yearning for connection and friendship so great that you would do anything? How does a mind justify the most terrifying act? In 1991, four Austrian nurses were charged with murdering 49 patients in their beds, but were suspected of killing up to 200. The world premiere of this blistering new play by Jessica Ross, directed by Steven Roy and executive produced by Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss, forces us to confront all we deem evil, horrible, and hideous. Look carefully enough, and we might just see a little bit of ourselves.

'My mum threw a trifle at my best friend and that's when I first thought something was probably wrong.' A mother. A daughter. An hour. A bond. Questions. Answers. Trifle. Tides. Refresh. Restore. Release. Critically acclaimed SpeakUp Theatre present a searingly honest and personal one-woman show investigating the complexities of loving someone with mental illness. A moving, funny and relatable insight into how it feels to care for someone who can't always show that they care for you.
