Craig Ferguson sets EdFringe Playhouse gig
Comedian returns to EdFringe:
Craig Ferguson is to perform Hobo Fabulous, his first UK stand-up show for 25 years at the Playhouse during EdFringe 2019.

Brave Macbeth
★★★★☆ Enjoyably educational:
Brave Macbeth, presented by Gilded Balloon in the Rose Theatre Basement, is a beautifully pitched children’s musical combining the Scottish Play with tunes, humour and shameless messing about.

WOKE
★★★★☆ Powerful:
Following the success of 2014 and 2015’s Black Is the Color of My Voice, Apphia Campbell returns to Gilded Balloon with another powerful one-woman show.

Double Feature
★★★★☆ Double the Laughs:
Powerhouse double act Andy Gray and Grant Stott bring all their comic knowhow to bear on Double Feature from Gilded Balloon at the Rose Theatre.

Jocky Wilson Said
★★★★☆ I’m in heaven:
Blessed memories of a Scottish sporting legend are evoked superbly by Grant O’Rourke in the Gilded Balloon’s Jocky Wilson Said.

Annie
★★★★☆ Spirited & Heartwarming:
Captivate Theatre’s excellent production of Annie – on until August 14 at the Rose Theatre – brings a lively and contagious enthusiasm to the Fringe.
