Two UK premieres from Australia – Kitchen by Vanessa Badham, and Tangled by Noni Bousfield – will have you on the edge of your seats. Fuse revive their first Fringe hit Somehow I Feel Dirty and premiere their latest, Bedhead. From South Africa, the hit show Nicotine Nights! will make you think twice before lighting up, or maybe it won’t.

The Acme Construction Company mix ventriloquism with Doctor Who, while Scott Baker ingests lightbulbs, eats fire and swallows swords in Geek Circus.

Outstanding children’s theatre continues with C theatre’s The Emperor’s New Clothes and Kipper TIE’s new adaptation of popular picture book, The Mole Who Knew it was None of His Business.

Glam music theatre with seventies flashbacks in Diva Fever, and Fruits of the Womb’s superbly camp new musical, Dorothy’s Friends. Plus Merrily We Roll Along and Side by Side – both by Sondheim. And it’s well worth staying up late for The Establishment. Back by popular demand – Perret and Limb in Play Wisty for Me: The Life of Peter Cook. Firm Fringe favourites The Changeling return with a phenomenal four shows including the cult James Bond spoof, The World is Just About Enuff and the latest Changeling Rooms. Ubersausage are back with The Black Sheep, along with HMS Comedy and Newsrevue. For the very first time in Edinburgh, we introduce Dublin stand-up star James Goldsbury.
