Shows at Gilded Balloon Patter House, Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Gilded Balloon Patter House is hosting 93 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, between 4 and 31 August.
Across them there are 1957 performances, 1922 of which are currently on sale through the central Fringe box office. The rest are sold out centrally or not yet released — the venue may still have its own allocation.
Fringe venue names usually refer to a whole site rather than a single room, so two shows listed here can still be a few minutes' walk apart inside the building.
