A powerhouse of pure performance. From bardic breakfasts to music, dance, circus: we showcase the uplifting, unsettling, side-splitting, thought-provoking at our festival hub with courtyard café-bar. Part of the vibrant, vivacious variety of C ARTS: a curated programme of international, independent work taking place at multiple city-centre locations, and online, in our 34th year at the Fringe. It’s a festival all of its own. Make sure you see it all.

The Bardic Breakfasters are back with a brand-new show, with breakfast included! A pleasing plethora of pentameter, puns and pastry. A sensational Shakespearience, perfect for hardened fans and blank-verse virgins alike. ‘A bouncy and boisterous take on Willie’s work’ (List). ‘Well worth getting out of bed for’ (Independent). ‘No holds Bard‘ (FringeGuru.com). ‘Irreverent humour… clever’ (Stage). ‘Side-splitting… glorious’ (BroadwayBaby.com). ‘Full of fun’ (RemoteGoat.com). ‘Sizzling’ (Scottish Daily Express). Free coffee and croissants! Fringe favourite since 1992. Book early.
