Stewart - ★★★★★
"A perfect hour of laughs from the top comedians and performers at the festival who do a little set - just for the kids. Although of course the laughs are also provided for the adults as well. What's so great about the show is it's a different line-up every day. So go as many times as you can! The day we were there Ted Hill provided cheeky banter with the kids as the compere and introduced us to the downright hilarious chef played by Josh Glanc and the skilled clowning humour of Darryl J Carrington (we've already seen his show but because it's excellent we didn't mind seeing some more!).
Both boys were in hysterics throughout."

Georgie (Age 11) - ★★★★★
"I give it ten thousand stars, I love going to see this show. I love the acrobatics and everything they do. I think they will drop each other but they are good they don't thanfully, they are so strong I like the stage with the lights and the games they play when someone has to draw what they've to do. The drummer was good. I love when they do the tower and stand on each other. The stunts they do are sooo good. I love going to see them. Sad it's the last year of this show but can't wait to see what they do next year.
At the end I spoke the girl and she remembered me from 3 years ago when she done our workshop that was nice. EVERYONE needs to see this show."

Mix Up Junior (Age 7 ) and Oban (Age 8) - ★★★★★
"Soo funny! A hundred thousand stars and they had water guns which was brilliant. They made me laugh and the one guy was very sweaty and kept wiping it on the others. I liked all the dancing it was hilarious."
Edinburgh Festivals for Kids - ★★★★1/2
"Splash Test Dummies Circus delivers the pre-lunch PG version of a high-energy night out at the Fringe. It’s one for all the family: my two-year-old was fascinated, I laughed a lot and the primary aged kids were loving it."

Dance, Physical Theatre & Circus (Acrobatics, Circus)
Age 5+
13:05 - The Beauty at Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows - until 29th
From the team behind Brave Space, a new breathtaking circus adventure where performers climb, swing and create a world in constant motion. What begins solitary grows into a vibrant story of connection: balance teeters, towers tumble and every fall becomes a chance to build together. Structures shift, bodies soar and every movement carries real weight and risk. Set to a living soundscape, this performance asks: what keeps us standing in an unsteady world? In a divided time, it is a celebration of falling, coming together and choosing to rise as one.
Oban (Age 8) - ★★★★★
"If you like building things and climbing things GO SEE THIS SHOW. There were too many cool things to pick favourite, but I especially loved that all the music was created using ladders. Like... how did they do that?"
The Stage - ★★★★★
"You can easily get your fix of circus and physical theatre at the fringe, but The Pieces creates something unique."
6. FLY, YOU FOOLS!
Theatre (Comedy, Film)
Age 8+
15:00 - Beyond at Pleasance Courtyard - until 31st

A jaw-dropping blend of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley. From Recent Cutbacks (Hold On To Your Butts, KEVIN!!!!!). 'If I had a sixth star at my disposal, I'd gladly add it to the rating... Genius, sheer genius' ***** (Times). 'Glorious theatrical inventiveness' **** (Scotsman). 'Superb... the nostalgic Lord of the Rings parody to rule them all' ***** (theQR.co.uk).
Archie (Age 13) - ★★★★★
"Fly you fools is a parody of the first lord of the rings film you will have to see the first Lord of the rings filmed to understand it but Some people I noticed had them but still enjoyed it. It had an intentionally very on a budget rubbish feel to it which made it so funny. They had mainly three people on stage so people constantly doubling up and making the environment and shapes of their bodies and at the beginning the new line cinema logo. There was a lot of mine involved with few props actually used and they have lots of sound effects that were being made live overall I thought it was very funny and I would definitely recommend."
The Theatre Reviewer - ★★★★
"It is silly, energetic and packed with laughs, and sometimes that is exactly what you want from a trip to the Fringe."
7. TWEEDY'S MASSIVE SOLO SHOW
Children's Shows (Clown, Comedy)
Age 0+
10:15 - Udderbelly at Underbelly, George Square - until 30th
Following the success of Tweedy's Massive Circus, Tweedy the Clown makes his festival debut with this joyful solo show for all ages. Tweedy finds himself battling mischievous props in a series of increasingly absurd situations, but however chaotic things become Tweedy can always find a creative way to get out – much to the delight of audiences young and old. Described by The Guardian as 'a loveable lark from start to finish'. Expect physical comedy, visual gags and an unexpected encounter with AI.
Mix Up Junior (Age 7 ) - ★★★★★
"10 points! This is very funny and Tweedy kept losing his shoe and I didn't know how did that. It looked dangerous on the ladder but I laughed all the way through the show and I liked getting to go up on the stage as well. But didn't like the costume had to wear."
We had a workshop with Tweedy at our Fringe camp..
One4Review - ★★★★★
"This is the best clown show, the best children’s show, and the best family show. Hands down."
8. TAIWAN SEASON: PROXIMITIES
Dance, Physical Theatre & Circus (International, Contemporary)
Age 5+
19:00 - DB1 at Assembly @ Dance Base - until 30th
How do our bodies navigate a world in which boundaries and rules are constantly changing? Are there ways of finding closeness even in moments of separation? Could distance ever be seen and felt as a strength? A compelling tension between oneself and others underscores every moment of this captivating three-part quintet, beautifully brought to life by LEI Dance Theatre with Lao-French choreographer Olé Khamchanla. Intelligently blending traditional, contemporary and classical styles, it is an honest, imaginative and questioning dance about the way we live now.
Sarah (Age 12) - ★★★★★
"Amazing and wonderfully meditative!
I think proximities was an amazing show with very talented performers and dancers. I think the show was thought provoking, it made you think about humanity and how it is changing all the time and how we are forgetting to hug each other and interact with each other. It was quite cool to see some of the actions and moves that the dancers performed. Some bits of the show were quite funny and made me laugh though most of the show was quite serious. One of my favourite moments were when the performers all hugged at the end, another favourite moment was when the two men were struggling to get up from the floor and they kept falling down and doing the splits. it was really nice. The performers themselves were also really lovely and kind."
We had a workshop with LEI Dance Theatre at our Fringe camp..
ScottishField - ★★★★★
"There are some shows where you find yourself holding your breath throughout because your stunned by the skill of the dancer and the ability of the human body. Proximities is one of them."
9. TAIWAN SEASON: UNDER MASK
Dance, Physical Theatre & Circus (Dance, Contemporary)
Age 5+
18:40 - DB3 at Assembly @ Dance Base - until 30th
Hotly-tipped young choreographer Lai Yun-Chi (formerly a dancer with Shechter II and a member of Humanhood) is keen to uncover what lies beneath our layered personalities – the roles we play, the identities we choose, the faces we wear. Drawing upon ceremonial folk rituals, a battery of cross-cultural movement styles and practices and a family history of leathercraft, she and her company Mailantia present the UK premiere of a bold, intricate and brand-new steampunk-influenced quartet about concealment and transformation. Expect a unique and original mix of East-West sensibilities.
Sarah (Age 12) - ★★★★1/5
"Energetic and fresh!
I think Under Mask was a great show, it was very energetic and even a bit dizzying because sometimes the dancers limbs were moving so fast that couldn't see them anymore. I really liked the masks the dancers wore when they were dancing. One of my favourite moments of the show was when one of the dancers to two feathers and put them in her hair so they looked a bit like a moths antennae. Though sometimes the music was a bit too loud I liked the way the music shifted and changed every few minutes. Overall I think Under Mask is a good show and the dancers are really nice people."
We had a workshop with Mailantia Dance Company at our Fringe camp...

10. FLOP! THE BEST SONGS FROM THE WORST MUSICALS
Cabaret and Variety (Musical Comedy, Cabaret)
Age 12+
18:45 - Wine Bar at Gilded Balloon Teviot - until 30th
Arthur Hull returns with an updated version of his blockbusting musical cabaret celebrating Theatreland's casualties. This love letter to Broadway and the West End features a motley assortment of the misunderstood, critically panned and financially catastrophic musical misfires, including forgotten gems and pleas for redemption! Best Entertainment Award (DarkChat, Edinburgh Fringe 2025). Best Emerging Artist Award (Adelaide Fringe 2025). 'Arthur Hull's an absolute joy' ***** (List). 'FLOP! is an utter triumph' ***** (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk). 'Brings the house down' ***** (SeeDoEatReview.com). 'Undoubted smash' ***** (TheRecs.co.uk). 'A star is born!' ***** (TheRealChrisparkle.com). 'Stand-out' ***** (TheatreDiaries.adl).
Archie (Age 13) & Maddie (Age 12) - ★★★★★
"‘Flop’ is a one-man show that rescues the best songs from the worst musicals or shows that flopped. Some songs were from very unknown shows like Moby Dick, King Kong, or Diana (as in Princess Diana) which were hilariously bad. Other songs were well known standards that just happened to be from bad shows, musicals that flopped at first but got more successful over time, or were really successful but then failed at the box-office (Cats!).
Arthur is a really good performer, a talented piano player with a great voice covering lots of different styles. The staging is very simple with clever use of props, running jokes, and audience participation. His enthusiasm for the music and effort that goes into making musical theatre is clear and infectious, and it was interesting to hear some of the stories behind the failed shows. Would totally recommend!"
We had a visit from Arthur Hull at our Fringe camp...
StagetoPage - ★★★★★
"Political punchlines, jazzy jokes, and some serious skill on the keyboard are what make up 60 minutes of a truly excellent fringe show. This is a great example of finding your niche, working on it, and presenting a well rounded show as a result!"
11. SUITCASE SHOW
Theatre (Puppetry, Storytelling)
Age 12+
11:45 - Upstairs at Assembly Roxy - until 30th
A traveller arrives at a border with a stack of battered cases. From within them, whole worlds will emerge... Trick of the Light (The Bookbinder) presents an eclectic box set of short stories. Dark, spiky and comic, it shifts from shadow play to storytelling, dancing disembodied hands to narratives crackling from a 1970s stereo suitcase. 'A delight from start to end... all tied together with a slow burn reveal into a wickedly brilliant conclusion' (NZ Herald). 'Weaves a bright dark magic' **** (Scotsman). 'Innovative, dark, and delicious' ***** (TheQR.co.uk).
Archie (Age 13) - ★★★★★
"This show is about a man who gets pulled over at an airport for having shady things in his many suitcases. While he is having them checked, he opens them up and uses what’s inside to tell stories. I really enjoyed this show. It uses unique storytelling with a different tone and feel to each story. Most of the time he used just his hands. In others he used light and puppets. I was very engrossed in all the stories and they kept me engaged and entertained. Overall I felt this was a very good show."
British Theatre Guide- ★★★★★
"The dark mysteries that are uncovered are a delight from start to finish, as each tale changes style, method and tone, sometimes near-wordless, and others in the form of a tale. Each has its own unique mystery and beauty."
12. OLAF FALAFEL PRESENTS: I USED TO WORK IN A HELIUM BALLOON FACTORY UNTIL THEY LET ME GO
Comedy (Absurdist)
Age 12+
Various Times - Main Room at Laughing Horse @ The Pear Tree - until 30th
Shortlisted for the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Best Show Award in 2025. The best-joke-list-bothering, holey-cheese-flinging Falafel is back with another thickly-sliced slab of stupid. Including but not limited to: mind reading mic stands, sausage-based nonsense and art-related buffoonery. It won’t be sensible. 'On course to become an Edinburgh Fringe legend' ***** (GetYourCoatsOn.com). 'This is a must-see show' ***** (ThePhoenixRemix.com). 'One of the most creative shows I've seen at the Fringe' **** (EdFringeReview.com).
Maddie (Age 12) - ★★★★★
"I really liked Olaf Falafel, I think it had an amazing mix of funny jokes and chaotic funniness. With lots of audience participation to keep everyone engaged and eager to join in. As well as not staying long on each topic and using a mixture of topics, so people won’t be bored."
One4Review - ★★★★★
"Falafel has become a cult institution at the Fringe. After more than 20 years of gloriously daft shows, he remains one of the very few acts where words such as auteur and genius apply, and in this form, no other act currently in Edinburgh can touch him for sheer universal appeal. Entirely self-funded, fiercely independent and forever marching to the beat of his own bizarre drum, Falafel here is at the top of his game."
13. APPARENTLY UGLY: A STEPSISTER STORY
Musicals and Opera (Family-Friendly, Comedy)
Age 5+
11:40 - Ermintrude at Underbelly, Bristo Square - until 31st

Packed with lush, original music, dazzling costumes, outlandish characters and comedic madness, Apparently Ugly is a gleefully deranged fairy tale for kids, adults and anyone who's ever felt not-quite-perfect. Written by Nicky Douglas. Produced by ERA Theatrical Productions.
Uma (Age 11) - ★★★★★
"This hilarious story that talks about beauty and uglyness is totaly worth to watch.
The thing that I like the least is when their mother said their daughters were ugly but the best part was their search for the spell's ingredients. The actors were very good and funny, specially the mother."
Fest Mag - ★★★★
"It’s the perfect show for younger families looking for a funny, lighthearted way to start their day at the Fringe, with enough to entertain kids and parents alike."
14. DISENCHANTED! THE HIT MUSICAL
Musicals and Opera (Musical Theatre, Theatre)
Age 14+
Various Times - Pentland Theatre at Pleasance at EICC - until 30th
The hilarious hit musical with more bite, more sass and zero damsels in distress. Forget happily ever after! Cinderella's done cleaning, Sleeping Beauty's wide awake and Snow White's calling the shots now. These princesses don't want to play nice; they want to storm the castle! One showstopping number at a time. Disenchanted! is the side-splitting, cheeky, musical mash-up of all your favourite fairy tales. If you're looking to let your hair down, take a magic carpet ride or maybe kiss a frog or two, Disenchanted! is the night out you didn't know you desperately needed.
Nina (Age 14) - ★★★★★
"It was amazing!!!! The dances and songs were so fun!!! The actors were amazing and their voices were incredible!!! Its absolutely hilarious!!! Its a comedy musical about disenchantment about how princesses are portrayed from the Disney movies. Its recommended a 14+ because its quite rude and cheeky in places but overall very funny!!!"
One4Review - ★★★★
"The show is fun, engaging, and I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys musical theatre to go along and support the fabulous team behind an alternative voice for storied Princesses."

But she’s not really sure what she’s going to say, or how she’s going to say it. Written and directed by Fraser Scott, this ‘quick-witted, damning, and gorgeous’ (***** CorrBlimey.uk) play is delivered with deft humour and big heart.
Sarah - ★★★★1/2
"An outstanding look in to the scots language and attitude towards it on a personal and wider scale. Fraser Scotts writing is entirely brought to live by Olivia Caw who tell the story through "bonnie mckay" a show that will have you laughing then sobbing (proper sobbing) and hits all the nerves in the best way possible. A stand out this years fringe and very well deserved. Stunningly crafted and beautifully executed. 'Proper fire in belly stuff""
Entertainment Now - ★★★★★
"The performance is spellbinding, passionate, hilarious and heart rending in turn. Fraser Scott’s writing is pitch perfect – as it should be in someone from Foxbar. This is a very special piece of theatre.”
16. PARASOCIAL ACTIVITY
Theatre (New Writing, Dark Comedy)
Age 14+
17:40 - The Penny at Gilded Balloon Patter House - until 31st
Jenny meets her favourite A-List celebrity in Costa and they instantly fall in love. She knows that they are meant to be, but some jealous sceptics don't seem to agree. How far will she go in the name of love? Parasocial Activity is a dark comedy exploring parasocial relationships in the digital age. Praise for previous work: 'A triumph' **** (BroadwayBaby.com), 'Martha had my attention instantly' ***** (EdFringeReview.com), 'An intricately written, impeccably acted, and perfectly pitched piece of Fringe theatre' ***** (BingeFringe.com).
Sarah - ★★★★
"Briony martha tells the story of a chance meeting of james macovy in a glasgow costa and the madness that ensues for the character after falling in love with him, exploring the connection we feel we have with celebrities while also delving in to the new use of AI , allowing parasocial relationships a whole new relm. Briony martha's performance is nothing short of electric and sensational, a worthy winner of a fringe first. Catch while you can.""
Corr Blimey - ★★★★★
"The twists and turns of this production never feel unearned, and Briony Martha is once again cemented as one to watch. It’s not difficult to see – this is theatre at its finest and does the Scottish creative scene proud."
17. GLOB

Mix Up Junior (Age 7) - ★★★★★
"I would give it 100 stars. I liked their funny voices and noises and it was good when they made friends and looked after each other."
One4Review - ★★★★
"What works so well here is that they go against the grain of fast-paced high-energy Fringe shows and instead offer slow but very deliberate pacing."
18. KEVIN!!!!!
Theatre (Comedy, Film)
Age 5+
12:20 - Forth at Pleasance Courtyard - until 31st
From the creators of smash hits Hold On To Your Butts and Fly, You Fools comes a new UK premiere! Four actors and a Foley artist perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of the greatest Christmas film of all time. Recent Cutbacks returns with an astonishing blend of comedy, puppetry, live projections and Foley in this wildly inventive and hilarious homage to the 90s classic about leaving your kid alone... at home. 'Laugh-out-loud funny' (StageBuddy.com). 'One breathless hour' (New York Times). 'Loving parody at its finest' (ManhattanDigest.com).
Stewart - ★★★★★
"A wonderful homage to the family holiday classic movie, Home Alone. The film itself is a comedy so doesn't instantly feel the right fit for a somewhat loving homage parody which is what Recent Cutbacks do so well with their other shows, Fly, You Fools and Hold on to Your Butts. So a lot of the laughs do actually come from lines from the film - just said by a talking donught or a sock.
Yup this is the puppetry remake and it's the skills of the work on show here that really appeals - there's so many different styles of puppety used within the show that it's exciting just to see what's going to be used next. There's also great use of a blue screen to integrate the actors into the show and the live accapella music and song is an added bonus.
The Kevin puppet is a brilliant creation also and there's a hilarious joke about the stairs at the Pleasance's forth building that had the whole audience in hysterics, so this is one to definitely try catch at the fringe this year especially if the film is a firm family favourite at Christmas time. One request would be to have some sort of acknowldgement of the passing of the brilliant actress Catherine O'Hara who passed away earlier this year - her performance in the film is iconic, and there's no way of saying the title of this show without hearing her voice in your head.
We had a group of 25 kids along to see the show last week and they were all engrossed throughout so from Mix Up, this one is a must-see!"
We had a workshop with Recent Cutbacks at our Fringe camp...
West End Best Friend- ★★★★★
"The comedy beats land again and again, and watching the performers throw themselves from one character to another while simultaneously trying to keep the entire miniature production moving is genuinely astonishing."
19. DARRYL J CARRINGTON: OUT OF THE BOX
Children's Shows (Clown, Circus)
Age 5+
13:20 - The Wee Coo at Underbelly, George Square - until 31st
Out of the Box is a multi award-winning family show delighting audiences across the UK; an hour of joyful chaos, jaw-dropping skill and irresistible fun.

A toothbrush stars in a balancing act, a string sparks a heist and a tea party lands on someone's head! With over 20 years of circus and clowning experience, Darryl's silent comedy blends world-class juggling, inventive physical theatre and heart-warming audience interaction. His humour transcends age and language.
Mix Up Junior (Age 7) - ★★★★★
"This was soo funny and I give it a billion trillion stars. He was very funny and I loved all his tricks and trying to get a toothbrush into the cup on his head."
We had a workshop with Crash Theatre Co at our Fringe camp..
Entertainment Now - ★★★★
"Every feather, chalk drawing, hat, and teapot has a purpose in this hour of playful clowning. Pitched at all ages, but popular with those with children around the five year mark. Carrington opens his box of tricks to the most challenging of attention spans. And catches them."
20. REDACTED: THE COVER-UP OF A COVER-UP OF A COVER-UP
Theatre (Physical Theatre, Comedy)
Age 12+
13:55 - King Dome at Pleasance Dome - until 30th
Fargo meets The Matrix meets The Office in this high-octane, darkly comic thriller. It's 1973. Marnie Makowski arrives in New Mexico, searching for her missing sister. When a butcher, a pilot, and a priest each reveal fragments of a millennium-spanning conspiracy, Marnie faces a choice: walk away, or uncover the truth. What follows will change everything, for everyone, forever. An adrenaline-fuelled odyssey through America's most absurd manhunt, with virtuoso physical theatre, acrobatics, and live music from multi award-winning Voloz Collective. Praise for previous work: ***** (BroadwayWorld.com, BroadwayBaby.co.uk). **** 'Immaculate' (Scotsman).
Ailie (Age 17) - ★★★★★
"I really liked the way that all the actors were always on stage and had all their props within their outfit. Another thing that I found really cool about this show is that they had someone using instruments to create sound effects. I loved the storyline of the police officers trying to uncover what was under the word redacted. Although, at points it was hard to understand I really enjoyed nonetheless."
British Theatre Guide - ★★★★★
"With top-notch acting, riveting and fully-realised storytelling and inventively nonstop laughs, Redacted is a show that deserves to be at the top of everyone’s must-see list for the Fringe. It is, quite simply, brilliant."
