EdFringe 2025
Ringing out the Changes
★★★★☆ Mindful
Ringing out the Changes at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral – a mindful meditation of story and sound about how bells have marked personal, national and global histories – reverberates with meaning.
Queer Folks’ Tales
★★★★★ Triumphant
Queer Folks’ Tales at the Scottish Storytelling Centre every Wednesday of the Fringe is a powerful celebration of storytelling and community, as entertaining as it is moving.
The Kids Always Win
★★★☆☆ Winning streak
The Kids Always Win, a gameshow comedy for kids age 5 and over is onto, well, a winner with it’s fail-safe formula, at the Pleasance Courtyard until the end of the Edinburgh school holidays.
Aderyn/Bird
★★★★★ Disglair/Brilliant
Edinburgh’s Ailsa Dixon and Welsh storyteller Ffion Philips, together known as the Harebell Tellers, enchant the Scottish Storytelling Centre with a limited, five show run of Aderyn/Bird this Fringe.
Calendar Girls
★★★★☆ Heart-warming
Calendar Girls at Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre for two weeks is a heart-warming, feel-good comedy, competently staged by Leiththeatre who have been putting on productions for almost eighty years now.
Moving On: A New Musical
★★★★☆ Touching
Ghosties and ghoulies and interpersonal sibling drama abound in Moving On, a new musical from Happy Sad Productions playing at Braw’s Hill Street Street Theatre for the first half of the Fringe.
Good For You
★★★★☆ Punchy
Good For You, from Something’s Afoot Theatre Company and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe, is a cleverly written, well acted, thoroughly absorbing piece.
Goodbye Postie
★★★☆☆ Heartfelt
Returning after a run in the PBH Free Fringe in 2023, Deliverance Theatre’s Goodbye Postie drops into theSpace on the Mile for Week One of the Fringe.
Nightmares by Sandy Jack
★☆☆☆☆ Incoherent
Sandy Jack returns to the Fringe under the auspices of Lynch Lovers with new show Nightmares at theSpace on the Mile. Described as a “surreal/horror anthology” inspired by Jack’s own nightmares, David Lynch, and The Twilight Zone, it is frankly an incoherent mess.
Romance on Repeat
★★★☆☆ Repetitious
There is commitment and an intriguing central premise in Backyard Alchemy and New Celts’ Romance On Repeat – at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe. However, the end result does not always convince.
