We’ve all been stuck at dinner with someone who won’t stop talking. One more drink. One more opinion. One more thing they have to say.

Fifty years after its original creation, Michael Burrell's HESS returns to Edinburgh in a revival that feels startlingly, even uncomfortably, relevant. Written in 1976, the play probes the psychology of a man consumed by extremist ideology, revealing the personal and political devastation such beliefs can unleash. What once read as a historical character study now lands with renewed force in a world marked by rising hatred, deepening political division, and ongoing humanitarian crises. This revival challenges audiences to confront the unsettling truth that the forces Burrell explored half a century ago have not faded – they have resurfaced.

'What's on your mind?' A musician and a psychologist walk into a disco, one, ever the social butterfly, the other reserved and introspective. These polar opposites attract and a romance develops – two souls at the start of their lives, two neurodivergent lovers living with their respective conditions, whilst the audience, equipped with headphones, witness every private thought and every secret anxiety. Silent Disco is a work of two halves simultaneously: The first, a tender narrative of the lives of neurodivergent young people, and an abstract, pre-recorded stream-of-consciousness, broadcast directly into the ears of its audience.

Gather, gather, and turn the cloth... 1989. The first storm of winter hits a small Scottish town, bringing with it obligation, tradition and a spirit hungry for a wife. Bonds are tested, secrets revealed, and someone must make a deadly choice. Darkly funny, unsettling and atmospheric, Turn the Cloth is a new folk horror play inspired by traditional waulking songs and kelpie folklore, stringing together campy 1980s horror films, sharp-tongued teenagers and folklore from Scotland. Using a fusion of trad music and 80s synth, it dissects defiance, girlhood and the rituals that shape us.

Can you choose yourself and still get a happily ever after?), while coming up with a love story all our own. Reality is overrated anyway.

PTSD and a phone full of coping mechanisms. Compulsive fantasist Kit flees the North-East, convinced London will fix everything. When a text from her ex detonates her recovery, she spirals through therapy, chaos and increasingly elaborate fantasy scenarios.

As PTSD, disordered eating and fantasy collide, she must confront her past or keep rewriting it. SLAY is a darkly funny North-East reckoning by Offie-nominated writer-performer Lois-Amber Toole, directed by Fringe First winner Anna Morris, and produced by award-winning producers Katy Koren and Gina Lyons.

Drew Lausch grew up gay in Fargo, North Dakota. So he did what any emotionally stable teenager would do: invented the world's first gay superhero. Years later, he's still trying to save himself. Friendliest is a dark, funny and quietly devastating solo show about first love, small-town repression and the creative impulse to rewrite your own origin story. Blending biting stand-up with raw storytelling, Drew unpacks the boy he hurt, the hero he built, and the mess in between. It's sharp, intimate and occasionally feral. Written and performed by Drew Lausch. Directed by Jenny Leon.

Emmy and Golden-Globe winning comedian Guy Branum goes on a joke-dense slide show journey through religion and science arguing that he, as a clinically obese gay man, does not serve any practical purpose.

He uses this journey to explore how we tell stories about people traditionally ignored, why he's bad at telling stories, the 1984 Tony Awards, the first and only time he's been in love, and, of course, the biology and evolution of fruit.

This show is a celebration of useless and delicious things such as art, music and cake. Things that have no practical application whatsoever. Not sensible, smart and efficient things, but things that are pleasurable in the moment and then gone, like a symphony or a piece of chocolate. Join Sjur Hjeltnes as he tries to explain the meaning of life in broken English, strolling with the sun in his back, a glass in hand, taking you on a musical exploration of pleasure and happiness, completely contrary to the Norwegian Health Board recommendations.

Overnight, she finds herself catapulted into a world of kink, curiosity and – unexpectedly – the support of a community she never knew existed.

If the friend who talked you out of suicide killed himself, is it still possible to live like there IS a tomorrow? The acclaimed writer, actor, comedian and radio host returns to the Fringe to reveal the truth behind his online persona, one very public yearlong mistake, that one fateful appearance on Joe Rogan and tying the final knot. Robin Williams said 'he has the spark that energized my conscience'. Critics have called him 'the Second Coming', 'audacious', 'special' and 'almost poetic', while his Mom said, 'I'm surprised he's not dead'.

Aussie comedian Joshua Hauville presents a spectacular comedy cabaret that shares the story of a gay Australian trying to make it as a creative superstar in the piss-ridden streets of Paris. Like Emily in Paris but gay and broke, told through a camp blend of stand-up, cabaret and clowny burlesque. After touring the show throughout Australia, Europe and the UK, this show is glitzier, grungier and gayer than ever. Join Joshy as he braves a slew of ridiculous scenarios. Will he triumph over Paris, or will France smoke this fag just like every other?

Olivia won't give birth to anything but a new comedy movement. One where reproductive anxiety, political depression and Chinese daughterhood are somehow cured. She started writing the show when Trump returned to office and began dismantling DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). As an ethnic baddie, she decided to get an IUD – cuz you know what they say – DEI is out, IUD is in. The subsequent surreal gynaecologist visits become a meditation about identity, autonomy and what it means to create as a woman, alien and stand-up comedian.
