It is July … yes it is … and we’re hurtling towards Edinburgh Fringe 2026. This means the Gilded Balloon team have to address the fact they have 230 shows to put on while not actually having an office. It also means that lots of people are starting to think about buying tickets – but where to start?
Karen and Katy are here to help with their first round-up of suggestions for shows they think you’ll love as well as some insider tips for anyone – audience or artist - new to all things Fringe (including the secret to successful ‘flyering’).
Plus, listen to discover – amongst other things:
Who Karen is dreaming of interviewing.
Which brilliant new comics Katy has been pursuing with “notes”.
How it’s possible to be funny about hanging yourself (bit much?).
Why a trapeze artist peed in a pint glass hanging from a truss (that’s a bit of stage equipment not a medical appliance).
Exactly. Why would you miss it?
