18+ Magic: The Magic Show Your Mum Shouldn't See
Illusionary Productions
Shocking tricks, filthy laughs and jaw-dropping sleight-of-hand – this is not your average magic show. 18+ Magic: The Magic Show Your Mum Shouldn’t See is a chaotic late-night ride packed with R-rated illusions, adult humour and zero shame. No kids, no filter and absolutely no boundaries. It’s not just the rabbit that’s dirty – it’s everything. One unhinged magician, a very filthy deck and more surprises than your therapist would recommend. If you're easily offended, don't f*cking cum. If you're not, welcome to the wildest hour of your Fringe night.
3 Little Wigs
Chrome Productions
Three little pigs move to the big city, dreaming of pop stardom. They enter a talent contest run by the sly Big Bad Wolf and hosted by a fabulous presenter. With live vocals, lip-syncing, dance, and comedy, this electrifying show reimagines the classic tale. As the pigs advance through the competition, they revel in the glitz and glamour, unaware of the Wolf’s true intentions. The stakes rise as they discover the chilling truth – they’re destined to be the main course at the Wolf’s annual Feast of Champions. Can they escape before it's too late?
Atomic Cabaret
Lynda Williams AKA The Physics Chanteuse
Atomic Cabaret is a one-woman science-political musical about the existential risks of the nuclear age, starring Lynda Williams, the Physics Chanteuse. Provocative and wildly entertaining, the show exposes the reckless stupidity of the bomb, from Trident to Trinity, and explores how we can stop the madness – with science, satire and song that is smart, sexy, sassy and radical. Atomic Cabaret commemorates the 80th anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and is a benefit for Scottish CND. 'Lynda will blow your mind!' (Kip Thorne, Nobel Prize-winning physicist). 'Williams puts the fizz in physics' (People Magazine).

Hidden Powers
Angus Baskerville
For Edinburgh Fringe 2025, Angus Baskerville is back after last year's hugely successful, 5-star reviewed, award-winning debut at theSpace on the Mile. His all-new show Hidden Powers is a fascinating, continuing exploration of the connection between the power of the mind – certainly of Angus’ mind – as well as his own, very personal, story of growing up with (Angus’ words) neurodivergent superpowers. Informative and entertaining, poignant but funny. You will never leave a Baskerville show without having had both your mind blown, and an appreciation of growing up autistic advanced.

Mr P From HR
Haus of VaVaVoolah
Mr P from HR is an interactive drag-king performance, taking audiences down “recruitment road” and welcoming them to their new job induction day at luxury department store Gayrods (pronounced 'Gah-rods', not 'Gay-rods'... that would be absurd). Mr P has written songs, quizzes and NDAs for the amazing new sales team who will soon call the store hell... I mean home! But could this all be a ruse to conceal the secrets lying in the tunnels beneath the store's shiny floors? Don't be late and remember to be ready in full Gayrods attire upon arrival!
Roving Mad: America and back in the 1960's
The Swells
Jazz cabaret written and performed by Malcolm Windsor tells, in songs and stories, of his adventures in America in the 1960's. He is accompanied by two fine musicians Jeremy Thorp (piano) and Nick Gent (guitar) with songs of the era by Sinatra, Ella, Nat King Cole. Who knew that starting work at sixteen in the lab of a chocolate factory would lead to a scientific job in California, thanks to Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, and an international diplomatic post in Edinburgh? A fascinating, entertaining story told with lovely songs, fun and joy.
Shakespeare: Master of the Mind
Lorenzo 'Renz' Novani
Shakespeare's extraordinary ability to understand and articulate the diverse thoughts, emotions and experiences of his characters has imbued his words in our everyday language and imprinted his stories on our minds. Shakespeare: Master of the Mind is an enchanting mentalism show that celebrates the genius of William Shakespeare through the art of psychological illusion. Watch in awe as two members of the audience are impossibly connected over the story of Romeo and Juliet, marvel at the power of premonition as we summon the three witches of Macbeth.
