Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody - ridiculous, affectionate, and wildly entertaining all at once. ★★★★★
150
In Other Words - An interesting exploration of language. Is there a word in English for ’slightly over acted but worth an hour of your time’? ★★★
42
Mothman: A Romance Musical - Armed with little more than  imagination and a projector full of nonsense, this is sobizarre. ★★★★

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ludwig - Unfinished Business. You don't have to have a knowledge of classical to enjoy this show. Excellent piano playing and an interesting and funny story. Perfect lunchtime fodder 4 Ludwig

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gameplay. Incredible sucker-punch of emotion. A narrative... of where we are at. As humans in a politically volatile world. This experience is heightened incredibly by beautifully terrifying music & sound texture. Pleasance Dome 14.40. Review: @sambloggs

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finlay Christie: Champagne Casanova This guy knows his craft. His timing, his humour and his endearing lack of experience of life make a highly entertaining hour in a packed house. Get a ticket. If you can. Monkey Barrel Comedy.
69
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 11½ Angry Men - Pleasance EICC. A satirical adaptation with top Brit acting talent directed by Fringe bedrock, Guy Masterson. The stakes are high for a boy accused of murder, and the legal ego’s in the room must agree on how to ensure justice prevails. Will he live?
57
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Guy Branum - Be Fruitful. You may well tell him he is fruity, or you may well not say what he wants to hear, but however you respond he will out-camp you. Hilarious and in your face comic - no holds barred. Billiard Room at Gilded Balloon Teviot
62
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fiona Allen White Lies - ever wanted to give the perfect excuse to get out of anything? Fiona will guide you. Though it may have consequences on your relationship! Natural delivery and lovely to listen to. Dining Room at Gilded Balloon Teviot 13 Bristo Square EH8 9AJ
54
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FAKE - A true story from liar, Chris Cook. Highly entertaining with stunning magic, standup and story mixed with a hint of deception. The Den, Gilded Balloon till 31st Aug - 1.40pm

3.5 ⭐️ Aidan Green. Aidan Green brings his stammer to the stage - Ted talk meets standup, combined to inspire you to live by your faults and embrace your disability and laugh out loud - Fuck, fuck! Stuttermilk Pancakes runs throughout August at Underbelly Bristo Square: Dexter.
49
3.5 ⭐️ Jamie Wolf - Psycho. Takes you on a trip into his chaotic upbringing, with wit and true enjoyment - a charming and entertaining show dealing with the fallout of his early life. [email protected] 5 - 30 AUG (NOT 17) - 21:40 Gilded Balloon Teviot Wee Room
44
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Margaret Thatcher, Queen Of Hollywood. A satirical highly camp romp which does exactly what it says on the tin, highly entertaining.
42
4.5 ⭐️ Sinatra… One Last Shot. Richard Sheldon captures the absolute essence and vocal quality of Sinatra, and truly gets under his skin - Definitely a must see. Le Monde Hotel – Dirty Martini at 3.30pm. For tickets, go to edfringe.com

Circus the show - one for the little ones. Won’t hold the attention of older kids but the performers are all solid, a gentle introduction to circus! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
99
Adults Only Magic Show is silly sexy chaos, and has become a fest must-see for us every year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
98
Le Clique - celebrating 21 years at the fringe this full on incredible circus experience has cabaret, aerial acts, nudity (but in either a funny or elegant way) - a stand out act was Ursula Martinez who is one of the original cast and takes flags out of every orifice! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
94
Dead End is an emotional but funny solo piece based on writer and performer Alfrun’s fathers death. He comes to life via AI performed also by Alfrun and shows him off to be a hilarious character . This show is a must see and showcases a star of the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
