In light of the devastating floods in Slovenia, Philipp Kostelecky who is of Austrian, Slovenian and American heritage, is going to donate proceeds from his gigs on Thursday and Friday to relief efforts.
Kostelecky says:"I grew up in Slovenia. It is a beautiful country and unique in so many ways. Although Slovenia is part of Central Europe it is often perceived to be part of Eastern Europe, and so news stories from this region are often overlooked.
Lindsey Santoro is one of those storytellers who becomes almost possessed when getting to the most exciting part of the story.
So she takes us on a girls’ hen trip to Blackpool – introduces us to some cut price male strippers – then recreates a dangerous riot among the crowd.
A trip to a climbing wall ends up in a ludicrous accident – which Santoro re-enacts, playing all the parts – from the climbing attendant Kevin to her thinner fitter friend.

Australia’s Tania Lacy makes a welcome return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival after a 29-year absence with her new show ‘Everything’s Coming Up Roses’. The show is fresh from critically-acclaimed runs at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe.
In celebration of the launch of this year's Edinburgh Fringe, the annual Artist Address has taken place for the first time since 2019. The Fringe Society was delighted to welcome Le Gateau Chocolat as keynote for this important event.
This is an utterly beautiful show about a terrible horrible event which happens to Krystal Evans as a teenager.
And it is all really true – she shows us photographic evidence – and ends on a slideshow which makes us laugh and cry at the same time.
Evans, from Washington State, had a genuinely troubled start in life – no money, a missing parent and a kleptomaniac fantasist for a mother.
There’s more – but I’ll let her tell you the most terrifying part of the story.
Steve N Allen makes a welcome return to the Edinburgh Fringe this year with ‘Alzheimer's? I Can't Even Remember How To Spell It’.
Today, Friday 04 August 2023, marks the official start of the 76th Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which will run until Monday 28 August 2023. Artists from 72 countries will be represented at the Fringe this August, with 973 shows from Scotland and 469 from Edinburgh itself!
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society has announced details of the Fringe 2023 street events programme, a popular element of the festival experience. In 2022 56% of Fringe audiences watched street events performances, with iconic street scenes shared around the world across social media.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society is launching the inaugural Edinburgh Festival Fringe emerging critic's programme.
Over the last few years, the level of arts coverage delivered by media titles across the UK has reduced dramatically compared to pre-pandemic. The Fringe Society’s new pilot project aims to promote arts journalism as an attractive and viable career choice for emerging talent.
From Fringe 2023, Hootenannies has teamed up with The Apex to create a new comedy hub in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket.
Fringe goers may know the Apex Conference Centre on The Grassmarket, as it has a rich history as a fantastic Fringe venue. However, it has not been part of the festivals since prior to lockdown. Hootenannies are changing that.
