The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 programme has been launched today with a diverse range of work of all kinds.
There will be 3,317 shows, with themes tackling some of the most topical issues in the world today. From politics and current affairs to the environment, AI and technology to sport, LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse-led work to capitalism and the female experience, this year’s festival brings together performers from across the world, from homegrown Scottish talent to international artists travelling from near and far.
There will be performers from 58 countries appearing in Edinburgh this August.
Shona McCarthy, Chief Executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, said: “Revealing the programme is such an exciting moment for everyone involved in the Fringe, and we encourage audiences to jump right in, book some things that you know you will love, and take a chance on something new.
“The Fringe programme is bursting with every kind of performance, so whether you’re excited for theatre or cabaret, or the best of comedy, music, dance, children’s shows, magic or circus; get ready to unleash your Fringe this August and experience the creativity, excitement and passion artists bring to Edinburgh every year.’
“Thank you to everyone who has a hand in making the Fringe happen. To artists, venues, workers, producers, technicians, promoters and support staff, we appreciate you and hope you have a fantastic Fringe. Thank you to Edinburgh’s local business community for your support; to Scotland’s residents who come out in their thousands, and to all audiences who keep the Fringe buzz alive by coming to see work. Bring on August.”
The 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe will run from 2 – 26 August.
