Ten Unmissable Hits at the year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Edinburgh Festival Fringe is host to thousands of shows - and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the wealth of talent on offer. So we've done the work for you and gathered ten shows that critics and audiences are raving about.

There's something for every Fringer; from post-apocalyptic burlesque, to brand new solo material, and live music.

Must See 1: In The Black
Quaz Degraft's dark comedy solo play explores the ambition of a young, Black account fighting to carve out his place in a system that was never built for him. Prison inmate Kofi recounts his days in the high-stakes world of Wall Street and the relentless, often corrupt pursuit of success, as he grapples with the tangled forces of power, class, love and identity. With 5-star reviews from the likes of Binge Fringe and Broadway Baby.

Must See 2: When We Were Young
Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, Geez A Break's When We Were Young follows the stories of the Glaswegian gangs of the 90s when it was The Murder Capital of Europe. It's described as 'unapologetically, and brilliantly, Scottish' (Binge Fringe ****), with North West End (*****) asserting; 'if you only see one piece of theatre at the Fringe this year, let it be this'.

Must See 3: Cabin Fever
Set somewhere between LAX and Heathrow and 30 000 feet above the Atlantic, this two-woman show is a one-way flight to hilarity. Fresh !nk Theatre Comedy returns with this sky-high spectacle. For fans of radio comedy Cabin Pressure.

Must See 4: The Family Copoli: A Post-Apocalyptic Burlesque Musical
The human race is spiralling towards extinction due to a solar superflare that destroyed civilisation 72 years ago. A risque, slapstick, raunchy burlesque show determined to bring sensuality and sequins to earth's few remaining survivors.
