Are you planning to attend the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year but feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of shows to choose from? Look no further, as we have curated a list of five must-see performances for you to add to your list.
First up, we have Jack Docherty in The Chief – No Apologies. If you're a fan of sitcoms, you won't want to miss this BAFTA winner's return to the Fringe. Known for his role in Scot Squad and Absolutely, Docherty will be reprising his role as Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson. With rave reviews and a sold out run in 2023, this show is sure to be a hit. And with his own BBC Scotland spin-off show in the works, there's no better time to catch Docherty in action.
Next on our list is Chemo Savvy, a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. Inspired by the late comedian Andy Gray's battle with leukaemia, this world premiere is a tribute to his life and talent. Starring Grant Stott, Jordan Young, and Gail Watson, the play follows protagonist Rab on a journey of hope and redemption. With a mix of gallows humor and heartwarming moments, this show is not to be missed.
If you're in the mood for some late-night entertainment, Comedy Night at the Museum is the perfect choice. This improv show brings together comedians from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind performance. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, the comedians will use genuine artefacts from the National Museum of Scotland to create a completely improvised set. Get ready for a night of historically inaccurate but hilarious comedy.
For a truly immersive experience, check out Broadside Ballads. This supergroup, made up of members from iconic Scottish bands, will take you on a journey through Scotland's rich cultural heritage. Combining original songs with video, this show bridges the gap between the past and present. With only a four-day run, this is a must-see for any Scottish music fan.
Last but definitely not least, we have Michelle Brasier: Legacy. Following her critically acclaimed and sold out run in 2023, Australian comic Michelle Brasier is back with a new show. Legacy explores the idea of the different paths our lives could have taken if we had made different choices. With her trademark gripping narrative and witty comedy, Brasier is sure to deliver another smash hit performance.
