The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 – Ewan Spence – Epilogue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Edinburgh Festival Fringe rolls into the final weekend before a hasty breakdown of the 250 stages as everyone heads home, Ewan Spence looks back over the last few years of the Fringe, and how it should address the future. How do you face the innovators’ dilemma when there is no competition; can the Fringe survive another year of ‘doing it all again but a little bit bigger?’; and why might the answer lie in the shadow of the global pandemic?

The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 – The Sorries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are many returning artists at The Fringe, and each one has an audience that would call them Edinburgh Institutions. With audiences returning year after year over a 17-year career at The Fringe. The Sorries’ Doug and Marty have earned the right to carry that label. In a new venue this year, they continue to bring a cheeky mix of traditional Scottish music, easy banter, and a “what’s that?” range of musical instruments to the stage at Paradise Green.

The first, Kanpur 1857 returns for a final performance following its successful 2025 run, backed by The Pleasance’s Charlie Harthill Fund.

The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2026 – Cheeyang Ng – Legendary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Legendary is a look at Chinese mythology, memory and queer legacy. It balances the mythology and trans identity, and the power of your authentic self. The show carries a message of ritual and the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. It’s a show that brings the Chinese gods to Western audiences, for many for the first time, but a moment for those with Asian ties to see themselves reflected and shared. We talk about how the show has evolved, especially following Cheeyang’s coming out as trans
