The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has grown from small beginnings in 1947 to become what is today the largest arts festival in the world.

Every August, performers from all over the world turn Edinburgh into a crazy, colourful and creative place, bringing shows that cover all genres and cater for all tastes.

Comedy, dance, theatre, music - it's all here for three hectic weeks that see Edinburgh putting aside its inhibitions and providing a willing stage for everything the Fringe has to offer.
