Welcome to the Virgin Money Street Events

Many Fringe adventures start at the Virgin Money

Street Events, which take place each and every day of
the festival.
Each year, the historic Royal Mile and Mound Precinct
are transformed into huge street performance
playgrounds where hundreds of performers mix with
thousands of festival-goers, creating the most vibrant
and visible event of Edinburgh’s summer.
Street theatre has long been an important part of
the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and last year we made
significant changes to improve the experience for
the thousands who gather to see the world-class
street performances. These include new stages and
performance areas, allowing us to present an even
wider range of Fringe shows and street theatre
spectacles.

There are over 1,200 groups performing

hundreds of family-friendly shows each
and every day.
Here are just some of the highlights:
§§ Fringe shows
Try before you buy, with performers from across the
city offering tasters of their main Fringe performances.
§§ Buskers
Think music, magic and circus. All this and more at our
busker pitches dotted around the event arenas.
§§ Street performers
Attracting the biggest crowds on the street, these
international performers entertain using a mixture of
circus skills, comedy, stunts and silliness.
§§ Living statues
Edinburgh is full of statues, but they only come to life
at the Fringe! Unusual characters, crazy costumes
and a surprise should you drop a coin into the hat.
§§ Arts and craft market
A diverse range of handmade, high-quality goods and
souvenirs to remember your time in Edinburgh.
§§ Festival favourites
Portrait artists, balloon twisters, face painters, hair
braiders, henna artists, tarot readers and more line the
streets to get you in full festival swing.

Expelled from Eton

George Callaghan
NP
George is the poshest chav. Macabre, mirthful, merciless. An equal
opportunity offender. Smooth-talking as Harvey Weinstein. The most
comedic car crash since Princess Diana. The most child-friendly
show since Jimmy Saville. If easily offended – f*ck off.

A Holy Show Hot Flush

Verdant Productions Peach and Taylor
TKP TFLP
Written and directed by Janet Moran. A new comedy about the It's day two of Sinead's hereto disastrous hen party. Hungover
most Irish of hijackings. There'll be music, nostalgia, heroism, at bottomless brunch, the six hens begin crisis talks in the ladies
praying, romance (maybe), sex (maybe), an appearance by Our Lady toilets. Expect gossiping, vomiting, penis pasta and Katie Price... and
(definitely). There might even be a miracle. not necessarily in that order.
