Shows at Hoots @ Nicolson Square, Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Hoots @ Nicolson Square is hosting 79 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, between 4 and 31 August.
Across them there are 1496 performances, 1475 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.
