Edinburgh Fringe Online 2020

2020 Fringe listings

Welcome to our coverage of a very different Edinburgh Fringe for 2020.

In the midst of the strange times we find ourselves with and a cancelled physicial world version of the world’s largest arts festival, Edfringe has ported online, hopefully just for this year, though we suspect there will be a mch more significant number of shows online as part of Edfringe going into the future, along side the physical world offerings.

Many shows will be live streamed, others recorded and available to watch at any time.

Here you will find recommendations, previews and interviews throughout August.
