The rodeo is the best place in the world. Why would anybody burn it down? Unfortunately, rodeos don’t burn down on their own. More unfortunately, everything is expensive: becoming a cowboy, finding the culprit, and even keeping the lights on. This alleged tale of arson fractures into the story of two clowns desperately trying to afford to put on a show. An absurdist Western send up of the American Dream from consecutive 2022, 2023, and 2024 Fringe First Award-winners Xhloe and Natasha.

And Then the Rodeo Burned Down

Right in the middle of it all in the best location and part of our Royal Mile hub (6 theatres) we present three very special spaces, offering an array of new and established work – from theatre to musicals, dance, comedy and music, a real feast for all. The buzzing courtyard bar adjacent to the venue offers audiences pre and post-show drinks and an unrivalled Fringe experience.

Music, dance, theatre, physical theatre, a capella, opera, comedy and cabaret. A vibrant programme of performance, all under one roof in the most spectacular space in town.
