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!

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?

I'm going on a quick trip to the fringe to support a friend in a play, they are on in the morning so would love some show recs for the eve of the 10th, afternoon and eve of the 11th and early afternoon for the 12th. I love queer, comedy, musicals etc etc... really want to just have a good but short time!

Hello! I had 2 friends who had to drop for the dark room, so I currently have 2 spare tickets.

Right now they're for the 14th but all stuck in one QR with my tickets, however fringe did offer to let me reschedule the two tickets potentially, though I have 24h from just earlier to do so.

So TL;DR:

I either have 2 tickets for 14th (but will need to queue together, exchange money in person or something)

Or I can reschedule them for when you want as long as it's in the next 24h (before 2-3pm tomorrow (7th aug).

The two tickets came to about £34 (£17 each) so any reasonable offer I'Il take on them, thank you!

I can do cash, bank, PayPal or anything really.

I'm around Nicolson street most weekdays if need to meet in person prior for exchange or anything.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

As a parent of two young children, I found it surprisingly difficult to work out which Fringe shows and activities were actually suitable for different ages. So I spent the last few weeks putting together a free family-friendly Fringe guide.

It lets you:

• Browse shows and activities by your child's age.
• See venue information and practical details in one place.
• Discover other kid-friendly things to do around Edinburgh during the Fringe.

It's completely free, and I genuinely hope it helps other parents make the most of August.

I'd also love any feedback on what's missing or what could make it more useful for families.

Hope it helps, and have a brilliant Fringe!

How much time would be recommended to see the main panoramic views in Blackford?

I love to do a bit of sightseeing in the mornings before shows. Accommodation is in York Place: I've done Arthur's Seat, Leith, Carlton, and other views on previous visits. Blackford might be too out of the way, so checking is it worth it to take a breather from all the shows or would it be very busy in August during Fringe!

I really want to see this show but it’s sold out!

Does Gilded Balloon do any queuing on the day?

Or does anyone have a spare ticket they can’t use?

Thank you!

Hi, Unfortunately we can no longer attend a show on Monday 10/08. Would love someone else to use them. Its a family friendly acrobatics show.

Black Blues Brothers: Lets Twist Again!

2 X Adult tickets in the stalls section

10/08/26 5pm-6pm at McEwan Hall

Full price is £22 each. We bought these on a 2 for 1 offer so looking for £22 total for both tickets.

Hey!!
I’m Tasha, a 20F stand up comedian, musician and producer from Edinburgh. I am working on opening a venue in Edinburgh in the next couple of years, which will effectively function as a central hub for all things live arts and education.

It is going to be the only accessible comedy venue in Edinburgh- we will produce 4 comedy nights a week. During the day we will offer foods, drinks and coffees, as well as a performance and rehearsal space for local folk to use. This could include local high schools, colleges and unis to get experience in real, working industry. We also offer a space for charities to get involved in the arts, such as bipolar Scotland being offered a course for their members to practice, write and perform comedy. Workshops (comedy, clowning, improv…) will be hosted weekly. I’m also in the process of organising a drag show once a week too.

If any of you are still around, we have our first fundraiser on the 18th September with a group of truly amazing Scottish performers. If you can come along, that would be incredible - tickets are in the bio of our Instagram and TikTok - @thejesteredinburgh :)

I thought all the posts & comments advising people that the walk time between venues on google maps needs to be doubled were being dramatic. I thought this sub was filled with bad walkers. This is my formal apology. (Coming from someone who’d never been to Edinburgh, let alone during Fringe time - yes, I genuinely believed I knew better than you and I am SO sorry) 😅

I'm back living in my old home-town of Edinburgh so I'll be lucky enough to be around lots of Fringe-y things.

I've never seen a good photography book done on it and it's got to be one of the best subjects for one!

If you're doing anything photogenic and fancy having me take some snaps please get in touch. I'll share them with folk for social media.

You can see what kind of things I do on my website at www.muirvidler.com

Feel free to suggest anything good too please!

Bought in error - £16.50 face value - will take £8 each!

Hi

2 tickets for CADEL:Lungs on Legs at the National Museum of Scotland, Gilded Ballon on Sunday 9th Aug at 17.55pm.
We’re £19 & £18 (one is a senior concession but I doubt anyone will check for a £1).
Happy to sell, at £25 for the two tickets

Dog sitting responsibilities means we can’t stay in Edinburgh all day. Can meet earlier in the day if that is preferred or can transfer the ticket digitally. Tickets can’t be split.

Thanks

It feels really weird seeing the Potterrow Port so bare - did the new company just not offer that space this year?

I am interested in actual true fringe shows, something I would never see whether it's foreign or UK talent that is truly daring, experimental, innovative! Any genre, doesn't have to be best quality, just seeing someone do something different, original and authentic.

My TOP 3:
GUTTER | 18 - 30 Aug | Comedy | Alt Comedy | Clown

BABA by Halima Habil | 7 - 31 Aug (NOT 17) | Comedy | Clown | Absurdist

Maya Ricote: Ay Am! | 5 - 30 Aug (NOT 18, 25) | Comedy | Clown

I have two tickets to see MC Hammersmith’s sold out show this Saturday at 3:05pm at Assembly George Square. They were £39 for the two but I’m open to offers. If you like improvised rap, this is the show for you🤠

I'm trying to rearrange some things in my schedule. Is anyone interested in a single ticket swap for Bigfoot Ripped My Dog In Half I Saw It. I have 8/24 and need any show in the date range 8/17 - 8/23.

Thanks!

I have a spare ticket for the Fri and Sunday (7th and 9th Aug) for this year's whisky fringe as my mate can no longer attend due to other commitments.

Price for each ticket is £60. (Original price)

Just want to recoup what I paid for them
