Today we’re mostly fighting the urge to squeal, while jumping up and down, as our full programme of shows for the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe season is now on sale!
We feel incredibly privileged to be working with so many talented artists and companies, and we’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished as a team in our first year.
From drag superstars, misunderstood monsters, digital aficionados, and a German, accordion-wielding pop icon to deliciously freaky songbirds, international sex symbols, 1960s zombies with a modern twist, and a Grammy-nominated music legend, we genuinely believe our 2017 Fringe portfolio is world class, with something to suit all types and tastes.
Take a look below and see for yourself.
