Ed Fringe Guide — find shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026
Ed Fringe Guide is an unofficial guide to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, running 7–31 August 2026, with previews from 4 August. It lists 4311 shows with live ticket availability refreshed through the day, and lets you filter by date, time of day, venue, price, performer country, accessibility and our own Great / Good / Ok / Wild Card rating.
Availability comes from the Fringe's own ticketing data. A show reading sold out here means the central box office allocation is gone — venues often hold their own stock back, so see the ticket FAQs for what to try next.
