    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Laurie Stevens - An Evening With Gerald Lloyd-Davies

    Following on from last year’s debut with “David’s One Night Stand…”, we are introduced to Gerald Lloyd-Davies, an “aspiring national treasure and quintessential luvvie” looking back on his long career with the audience, before this look at his own life opens up a closer examination of moving with the times and what happens when you can no longer change to meet the world.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Woodrow Theatricals - Woody Sez

    On the surface, ‘Woody Sez’ focuses on Guthrie's life, but his music is intensely political and remains relevant to this day, and why the cast and crew continue to bring the show to new audiences. I’m joined by David Lutken, Raquel Chavez, and David Finch to talk about how Guthrie’s music speaks to our times, why it is important to ‘shout out the politics of America’ here in Scotland, and what songs they would sing on the lawn of the White House if given the opportunity.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Walking Down The Royal Mile

    With temporary stages, street performers, and countless performers and tech crew flyering their shows, the Royal Mile is the Fringe all rolled into one road. Given the podcast is all about bringing the feel of the Fringe, let’s throw out any script and head down the Royal Mile, microphone in hand, to take in the sounds, discover some shows, and embrace the magic.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Leo Hincks - Emotional Cowboy

    Leo Hincks debut hour at the Fringe is driven not by an actor - in this case, James Dean - but by an actor’s line, the titular Emotional Cowboy. The show in the show is a debut comedy hour but Hincks realises that it may be too much, and changes gears towards ‘ A Serious Play About Serious Things for Serious People.’ Finding the right show, much like finding the right place in your life, is not as easy as a description in the Fringe Guide would have you believe.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Bryn Woz - Smut

    In 2024, Bryn Woz decided that the way forward was to write smutty poetry. From that rhyming moment, she has workshopped, performed, and reimagined her show ‘Smut’, and the current iteration is now on stage and on show in Edinburgh. The premise of washed-up burlesque superstar Entendre Entendre inviting audiences to the launch of her memoir, the titular Smut, is a gateway to a very eventful hour.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Saint Stella - Louise, The Last Dance

    Burlesque dancer Saint Stella brings a forgotten star to the Edinburgh Fringe. Their show, ‘Louise, The Last Dance ’, looks at Louise Weber. Known in history as La Goulue, and once heralded as the Queen of Montmarte, she was put on a pedestal for the creation of the can-can and the face of the Moulin Rouge, before being torn down by male business interests.

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Darryl J - Tennish

    Silent clown Darryl J is bringing two shows to the Fringe; the first is ‘Out of the Box’ in the afternoon, and the second is Tennish, late at night. Both are clowning shows; the latter is about learning the violin, the former has a box full of adventures, ready to be opened by anyone in the audience. What’s in the chat box between us? How about making a performance like a Pixar movie, clowning around the world, and what street performers can bring to the stage?

    The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 - Thom Tuck - The Wolf Of Poyais

    “The Wolf Of Pryais” sits at the heart of Thom Tuck’s Edinburgh Fringe this year. Tuck inhabits the role of Gregor MacGregor, the 19th-century Scottish adventurer who convinced hundreds of people to invest in, and in some cases emigrate to, a country that did not exist… the fictional Central American territory of ‘Poyais.’
