The famous EdCom lunchtime Showcase Show has a different selection of the Best of the Fringe’s comics at 1.10pm every day in the Pleasance Courtyard Cabaret Bar. It’s the best value show on the Fringe and a perfect way to get a taster of what’s on offer before you book your full show tickets.
Showcasing a different laugh-out-loud line-up daily with top headliners and the hottest rising comedy stars. Previous years line-ups included John Bishop, Mickey Flannagan, The Boy With Tape On His Face, Des Bishop, Jo Caulfield and many more. Always a cracking show in the lovely courtyard cabaret bar. Now in its eighth sell-out year.
“A perfect bite-sized flavour of the festival” (ThreeWeeks).
