Frankenstein is a unique, themed venue in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Spans three floors, each with its own bar and offering a great menu cooked fresh to order. In the evening the venue transforms into a great party space with live DJs and a late licence.

Sell-out show every year! More puppets! More magic! More laughter. The perfect family show to start your day – kids love the magic, mayhem and colourful puppets! Great fun for all the family from three upwards, as Leigh invites you to meet his naughty puppets, play games and marvel at his magic. Booking in advance is advised as this is the best value and funniest lunchtime kids show on the Fringe
