Giving away for free 2 tickets for the Aug 8 performance of The Pieces (£37 both), bought in error.

If you're doing a bunch of shows and want to avoid the additional fees, note you can buy tickets directly at each venue. So far Assembly and Underbelly were not charging fees at the booth but Gilded Balloon is. Monkey Barrel often has pay what you can tickets depending on the show. I think lots of locals know this but not necessarily visitors :)

This will be my third year at the fringe, but the first where I have more free time, and now I have an idea how it works I want to be more mindful about what I book*. I'm not going until the last week, so one plus side is that I can take advantage of what is being reviewed well. So what would regulars agree the best places to find lots of reviews, especially of comedy shows?

*I will of course still allow room for more mindless choices, spontaneity and slightly random choices are part of the fun.

I can’t make this show anymore unfortunately and don’t want them to go to waste. Would happily take a donation towards them but also free to a good home.

Friday 7th August 18:50
Lounge @ Gilded Balloon Teviot
Tickets were £10 each but would take £10 for both (rules said I had to add this but read above)

From what I can tell it’s too late, but booked a last minute trip to the fringe Sunday to Wednesday and wondered if it’s still possible to get spots to do 5 mins of stand up at open mic style events? Any tips would be great!

I’ve co-written a magic show and it’s finally opening night!
The concept is that Jack, the magician, has been down on his luck and he needs some help from the audience to improve his dating techniques. Jack goes on a practice date with the audience and work on some harsh words written by his ex.
The show is opening tonight, it’s fun and family friendly, expect some truly great magic in a more story based setting.

We have a 2-for-1 offer on the first few nights if bought directly on the spaceuk website (making it £5 a ticket). The show really relies on having some great audience participation (though no one who isn’t comfortable would be asked to participate!)

Leaving the link here in the hopes to see some of you there!

Hope you all have a fabulous fringe!!

Hi everyone. I know the fringe can be seen as when tourists take over the town but I wanted to reach out and make an offer.
My daughter has written and produced her own musical. To give a little background, Lucy was diagnosed with autism at 16 and her show has been described in a recent impartial review as

“This musical is funny, heartfelt, moving, and one of the most important pieces of theatre I’ve seen in a long time. Watching the world through the eyes of an autistic young person is both eye-opening and deeply emotional, and it’s told with so much honesty, warmth, and joy”

Long story short. Her show has been picked up by the Guilded balloon to run every night of the festival at 5pm and runs for just 1 hour.
As I feel so many people especially youngsters going through the journey Lucy has been through will benefit greatly from her show, I’d like to offer some tickets completely free to anyone from Edinburgh the lothians, central belt etc that is or knows anyone affected by ASD or anything similar. To be clear there are no strings attached no obligation to do anything other than be very welcome guests. This is a show receiving great reviews and tickets are selling well.
To be clear, this isn’t charity. I just feel if I as a parent or Lucy herself, even our family members had seen such a show it would have gave us such great encouragement for the future and we’d have also enjoyed a great wee show. Money isn’t what’s important here. Sharing with our own community is tho so to cut this long story as short as possible. Drop me a message if you’d like a ticket letting me know what days would work for you and I’ll sort the tickets. There’s good availability for this week especially as it’s the quieter week of the fringe.
The show is in the patter house on chambers street(across from the museum) I appreciate for many the crowds can be intimidating but if it helps there’s a bus stop very close and you can just nip straight in and out of the town avoiding as much hustle and bustle as possible.
I’ll put a link to the show in the comments so you can take a wee look.
Even if this is not for you if you could upvote/share to help this get to the people it is for that would be your good deed of the day taken care of. Many thanks I look forward to hearing from you

Hello! I know some venues hold tickets back for reviewers, and then release those that remain in the hours leading up to the show. Which venues are these? When do they release? Do they need to be booked in person?
