Fractured

12:50pm @ Belly Dancer, Underbelly Cowgate

Eva’s falling through time. From Bill Cashmore Award-winning writer Shona Graham.

Join Eva as she struggles to piece together her reality following the crash that changed everything.

Fractured is a story about memory, shame and grief. It’s about the little bad things that inexorably lead to the big bad thing. It’s about the magnetism of the past to anyone refusing to face it.

NewsRevue

6pm @ Pleasance One at Pleasance Courtyard

Guinness World Record-breaking NewsRevue (47 years!), makes its debut in Pleasance One. If the news has got you down, this is your antidote. Expect four preposterously talented performers, a brilliant musical director on keys and a barrage of hilarious sketches and parody songs that don’t require you to know the headlines. From felon presidents wreaking havoc, disgraced royals, to the rise of AI and Ozempic – we’ve got it covered. Celebrating her 25th year, producer Emma Taylor cites ‘a rite of passage for all comedy newcomers’ (Chortle.co.uk) and ‘NewsRevue continues to reign supreme’ (Guardian) as favourite all-time quotes.

Apparently Ugly: A Stepsister Story

11:40am @ Ermintrude at Underbelly, Bristol Square

Cinderella’s gone – the lucky brat’s living it up while her stunning stepsisters are left wondering why they don’t get their happily ever after. Witness their magical, musical misadventure as they discover what it truly means to be “ugly”. 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.

hame. teeth. CLUB.

5:10pm @ Iron Belly at Underbelly, Cowgate

Every weekend has been the same for the past six months, and Morgan Shields wouldn’t change it for a f*cking thing. Currently thrilled to be at a loss for direction and lacking in motivation, Morgan finds herself every weekend at Dalkeith Miners Club without fail. It’s the place to be. Every Saturday night. hame. teeth. CLUB

Truth can be stranger than fiction. Also Andrew will now be adding “soothsayer” to his Spotlight skills.

Someone gets it! Thanks to for their kind words. You can find the full review on their website!
