Come As You Are
★★★★☆ Powerful
Theatre Paradok’s Come As You Are at theSpace Triplex for the final week of the Fringe is the Pinteresque story of a birthday gathering gone wrong, a simple family dinner gradually besieged by simmering tensions and the exposing of a horrible secret.
Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads 1
Her Big Chance & A Cream Cracker Under the Settee
★★★★☆ Poignant
This pair of quietly devastating dramatic monologues from Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads series, while written (and firmly rooted) in the 1980s, still stand up as tragicomic meditations on loneliness.
The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde (Told by a Mad Hatter from Stockport)
★★★☆☆ Atmospheric
The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde (Told by a Mad Hatter from Stockport) is a quiet historical comedy from Tall History Tales, which provides a bit of respite from the hurly burly of the Festival, despite being located in Riddles Court, just moments from the Royal Mile.
Kevin Quantum: Invisible Force
★★★★★ Infectious fun
KQ Productions return to the Assembly Ballroom Kevin Quantum: Invisible Force, a lively new show for 2026 in which magician Kevin McMahon sets out to illuminate the science of our everyday lives using magic, along with a good dash of silliness.
Edinburgh Days
★★★★☆ Stirring
Belt of Celt Production’s Edinburgh Days is back at the St Bride’s Centre after a well-received run at the Fringe 2025, with a new director and many brand new cast members.
