Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 | Assembly George Square Gardens After days of running around Edinburgh squeezing as many shows as humanly possible into a Fringe schedule, sometimes you just need someone to hand you some crayons and tell you everything is going to be okay. Enter The Bob Ross Effect. Written and performed by Sarah-Louise Young, this wonderfully warm show takes inspiration from Bob Ross — the softly spoken, spectacularly permed artist who convinced millions of p

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 | Assembly George Square Studios Medieval Bavaria. Witches. Sin. Sexual temptation. Roller-skating monks. Welcome to Nuns! Dog Complex Theatre's gloriously ridiculous comedy follows Sister Gertrude, a nun determined to be the holiest of the holy despite being slightly distracted by thoughts about what might be hiding underneath Monk Bertram's robes. When rumours of witches reach the convent, Gertrude teams up with mysterious witch-hunter Yarrow

Make it too creepy and suddenly everyone has forgotten they're supposed to be watching a comedy. Crybabies somehow manage both. Michael Clarke, James Gault and Ed Jones return to the Fringe with The Scaring, an hour-long horror comedy following former priest Arthur Holland, whose previous career in exorcism ended

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 | Underbelly Cowgate Only at the Edinburgh Fringe could you walk into a room to watch a romantic musical about a half-man, half-moth cryptid and emerge thinking: “You know what? That actually worked.” Mothman: A Romance Musical is exactly the sort of gloriously stupid, completely committed nonsense that makes the Fringe so much fun. Written by Alex Franklin and Nikola McMurtrie, who perform alongside Alex Prescot and Hudson Hughes, the story beg
