Shows at The Jazz Bar, Edinburgh Fringe 2026

The Jazz Bar is hosting 37 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, between 4 and 31 August.

Across them there are 167 performances, 167 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.
