Vital info on every Fringe event, divided into the following categories:

It's play time The world's largest celebration of the arts, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, is a massive explosion of cultural and artistic expression. Every available and conceivable performance space plays host to a packed programme of events, as the city streets fill with festival-goers, performers, celebrities, tourists and media-types.

The sheer volume of events on offer (around 20,000 individual performances this year) can be bewildering. The Fringe is a festival open to all types of performance, with no selection process. The unpredictable pick 'n' mix nature of the Fringe is, however, one of its greatest charms. While this programme will help you get to grips with the Fringe playground, be prepared for, and enjoy - the unexpected.

2 for 1 ticket offer Start your festival with a bang and buy 2 tickets for the price of 1 for virtually every show taking place on Sunday 4th and Monday 5th August. You can book for this ticket offer as soon as the Metro Fringe Box Office opens, so make sure you get in early to beat the sold-out signs. You must book a minimum of 2 tickets. The offer only applies to full price seats.

Now it's really play time!

Free shows There are around 100 free events at Fringe 2002, the biggest of which is Royal Bank Fringe Sunday on August 11. Most free shows are unticketed events, so just turn up on the day. However, a few free events are ticketed, with a limited number of seats available. Instructions on how to get hold of these free tickets appear next to the show's entry.

Concession Tickets We endeavour to make the Fringe accessible to all, whatever your budget. From the moment the box office opens, concession prices (in brackets next to the show's full price in the programme listings) are available on virtually every seat at the Fringe. Concessions are applicable to

students, the unemployed, disabled visitors (and one helper), senior citizens and children under the age of 16. You will need to be able to present proof of your status at the venue when you go to see the show.

Group Bookings For most performances, a 10% discount for groups of 10 or more is available.

Disabled Customers Each venue will do its best to welcome disabled visitors, but given the temporary nature of some Fringe venues, facilities vary. For further details on the facilities available at an individual venue, or for contact details so you can speak to the venue direct, check out the Fringe Venue Guide on p.160

Booking advice Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded except in the event of a show cancellation.

No booking fee applies to tickets purchased by post or in person. A booking fee of £1.50 is charged per transaction when you telephone us to order your tickets, and a fee of 50p per transaction is also levied for online bookings.

Tickets booked through us for collection can ONLY be picked up from the Metro Fringe Box Office on 180 High Street, during the opening hours listed. If you have booked by phone or over the web, and want to collect your tickets that day, please give us at least 2 hours to process your order.

The Metro Fringe Box Office is a ticket agency for Fringe groups, and sells a large allocation of all tickets available at the Fringe. We may

sell out of our allocation for some events very quickly, so do try and book early to avoid disappointment. Nearer to the start of the Festival, however, you can also purchase tickets direct from the venue. Check the Venue Guide on p.160 for contact details.

The Fringe works on behalf of all performers, and exists to support them all in their trip to the world's largest arts festival. We are therefore unable to recommend individual shows to you but hope that the Rough Guide on page 6 helps you make the most of your Fringe experience.

We accept cash, cheques drawn on a UK bank, major credit/debit cards (except American Express and Diner's Club) and Fringe Gift Vouchers. Payment must be made in £ sterling.

For a newcomer, the sheer volume of the Festival's output can be mind-boggling. In the Fringe alone there will be something like 20,000 performances involving 12,000 participants, with 1500 shows every day, round the clock, in 200 venues around the city from the city's grandest theatres to pub courtyards. You have to accept that you're just not going to have time to see everything that sounds, or looks, or other people say, is good.

Because the Fringe Office works on behalf of all performers in the Programme, its staff will not recommend individual shows to you. However, great tips and recommendations abound from critics, reviewers or the person standing next to you in a queue. Sometimes, however, you have to follow your own instincts — and, yes, it's part of the Festival experience to sit through something dire while the one you nearly went to gets rave reviews, is sold out for three weeks, goes on national tour and spawns a hilarious, groundbreaking TV series.

Each of the different festivals produce a programme (such as this Fringe Programme). It's an essential starting point and reference tool, but you'll want to supplement it.

Look out for: • The Edinburgh Festivals Guide: produced every day during the Festival, in association with the Guardian, with a chronological listing of every show scheduled for that day across all of the festivals. It's available free from the Fringe Office and in Edinburgh copies of the Guardian newspaper, as well as many other spots around Edinburgh.

• Reviews: Of the local newspapers, the Scotsman prints the most reviews (although not as many as a few years ago) in a daily Festival supplement, while the Herald, Edinburgh Evening News, Metro and the List (a weekly local arts and entertainment guide) also offer extensive coverage.

Most London-based newspapers print Festival news and reviews, with the Guardian and the Times leading the way, with the local Sundays such as Scotland on Sunday and the Sunday Herald usually providing a useful round up of what's hot and what's not.

Awards: If a show gets a 5-star review or wins an award, tickets are snapped up quickly as the good news spreads through the city. Announcements of awards are made on the Fringe web site and also in the following: Perrier Comedy Award nominees are listed in the Edinburgh Festivals Guide on Thursday 22 August, Fringe First winners (awarded to outstanding new plays) are published in the Scotsman every Thursday, and the Herald also gives out Angel Awards for great performances or shows every Saturday. the web: for the first time this year, there is also an on-line digest of critics' star ratings at www.edfringe.com, Strathmore Select. On the same site, you can listen to the word on the street with the public's star ratings and reviews (you can add your own if you want).

Posters, leaflets and flyers.

They're everywhere. Some are colourful, provocative and arresting, others not.

You're certainly never short of something to read in Edinburgh in August.

Radio and TV: BBC Radio Scotland (94.3FM and 810MW) covers the Festival with news stories, features and informed specialised arts shows such as Festival Cabaret. BBC Radio 3 and 4 also cover the Fringe check out www.bbc.co.uk for more details.

Radio Forth (97.3FM), Edinburgh's independent local radio station, likes to broadcast the latest Festival news and gossip in a live show from lOpm-lam, Mondays to Thursdays. Edge FM (107.7FM) is a new station broadcasting from the Fringe for the first time this year. On TV, Festival shows include the Perrier Award Live (Channel 4) and Ralf Little's Edinburgh (BBC 2).

The Festival began in 1947 as a post-war initiative to re-unite Europe through culture, with a number of distinguished musicians from the war-ravaged countries of the continent invited to perform in Edinburgh. Aware there would be a good crowd and focused press interest, six Scottish and two English theatre companies decided to turn up uninvited and fend for themselves. The next year a critic dubbed this gatecrashers' enterprise "the fringe of the official festival drama", and the name and spirit of the Fringe was born.

For the first three decades of its existence, the Fringe was a fairly intimate affair, dominated by drama and peopled largely by graduating students and talent-spotting producers.

The burgeoning of the Fringe began in earnest in the late 1970s as other forms of entertainment established themselves, notably new comedy. Nowadays, the Fringe is the place where artists of every conceivable description come to get discovered.

Ticket prices for most Fringe shows start at £5 and average from £7 to £11 at the larger venues (you'll find the higher prices at weekends), with some better-known acts going for slightly more. Though some theatre and music acts can be longer, most performances are scheduled to run for an hour (normally without an interval).

Approximate running times are given in brackets after each show's entry in this programme.

The first Fringe Programme appeared in 1951, the bright idea of a local printer. In 1959, the Fringe Society was founded to provide marketing and co-ordination between events.

No artistic control was imposed on those who wanted to produce a show, a defining element of the Fringe which continues to this day.

There's hardly a serious entertainer worth their salt who hasn't played the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Early stars were Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller; the entire cast of Monty Python and the Goodies, along with Clive James, Griff Rhys-Jones, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson. From Oxford came Rowan Atkinson and Mel Smith, while Manchester University graduates Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson came here and teamed up with a duo called The Outer Limits (Nigel Planer and Peter Richardson) to form The Young Ones. Other celebs who found their first taste of fame at the Fringe include Graham Norton, Hugh Grant, Lily Savage, Mel & Sue, Johnny Vegas, Eddie Izzard, Jude Law, Steve Coogan and Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell.

Fringe, Sunday 4 and Monday 5 August, virtually every show on at that time is selling tickets on a 2-for-1 basis at the Metro Fringe Box Office.

Various bars and restaurants in the city are offering similar deals over the same two days: for more details see Metro newspaper or go to www.edfringe.com Right through August, the central section of the Royal Mile around the Fringe Office and Parliament Square becomes a huge street theatre, with buskers, acrobats, fire-eaters and other entertainers performing to crowds of passers-by.

You'll also see actors from Fringe shows dressed up in costume to hand out leaflets or performing short extracts from their plays as "trailers" to help you decide what to see.

• Royal Bank Fringe Sunday takes place on the Meadows, just south of the city centre, on 11 August from 11am to 5pm.

A huge garden party for the Fringe, attracting crowds of 150,000, it includes free performances and extracts from Fringe shows, art displays, crafts stalls, music and children's activities.

• There are around 100 shows in the programme that are completely free of charge: some for one-off performances, others for the full duration of the Fringe.

For more information, see page 5.

Pace yourself! Sometimes the best show is watching the world go by, and Edinburgh has plenty of nonFestival attractions, some of them free. For a breath of fresh air and a sense of perspective climb up Arthur's Seat and look down on the madness below.

• Don't give yourself a stiff neck starspotting the Fringe is about the stars of tomorrow as well as today, so: • Be adventurous. Don't just stick to the familiar names and familiar venues - doing the Fringe means going to see something bizarre or outrageous like Macbeth in Japanese or the Burmese Banjo Orchestra.

Even if they're awful you'll have something to tell the grandchildren.

Accommodation There's no getting past the fact that accommodation isn't easy to find in Edinburgh during the Festival.

Before August the tourist office telephone and online booking service can be helpful (0131/473 3800, www.edinburgh.org/ accommodation) but by the time the Festival has started these tend to get swamped.

Remember too that the later you leave it, the less chance you have of staying right in the City Centre. It is worth remembering, however, that Edinburgh is a compact city with good public transport, so you can still stay a few miles out and make the most of the Festival, whatever time of day or night you choose to experience it.

Worth trying are: • the accommodation bulletin board on the I Fringe web site (www.edfringe.com/forums) • the well-known website www.lastminute.com • or Festival Beds (www.festivalbeds.co.uk) If you're up in Edinburgh for more than a couple of days, self-catering accommodation is !j worth considering. The following specialise in j longterm Festival accommodation: • • • • •

The Edinburgh Festival is actually an umbrella term for a group of independently organised festivals, which together bring you a spectacular variety of events to choose from. The website www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk acts as a gateway to the home pages of all the different parts of the Edinburgh Festival.

In date order, the main component parts of the Festival are: Edinburgh International Jazz 8t Blues Festival 26 July- 4 August 2002 www.jazzmusic.co.uk 0131 467 5200

Easing the city into the festival spirit with a programme ranging across generations and styles. Highlights include Jazz on a Summer's Day, a musical extravaganza in Princes Street Gardens.

Even standing alone from the other festivals, the Fringe is easily the world's largest arts gathering. The Fringe is what most people think of when they imagine the Edinburgh Festival, as the "anything, anywhere, anytime" attitude sums up the semi-chaotic but inspiring atmosphere of Edinburgh in August. The Fringe happens right across the city, from large "mega-venues" with numerous different theatres and their own bar and box office, to school halls, churches and even shops and public gardens.

Although it was quickly overtaken in size by the Fringe, this is the original Festival, still very much a highbrow event dominated by opera, theatre, ballet and classical music, with only rare forays into populist territory. Performances commonly take place at the city's larger venues, such as the Usher Hall and the Festival Theatre, and while ticket prices at the top end balloon over £40, it is possible to see shows for £10 or less.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2-24 August 2002 www.edintattoo.co.uk 08707 555 1188 Staged in the spectacular setting of the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, the Tattoo is an unashamed display of pomp and military pride with lots of swinging kilts, sweeping searchlights and popping pyrotechnics. It's hugely popular with tourists, so tickets need to be booked well in advance.

Edinburgh International Book Festival 10-26 August 2002 www.edbookfest.co.uk 0131 228 5444 Held in a tented village in the douce but soothing setting of Charlotte Square in the New Town, the Book Festival offers talks, readings and signings by a star-studded line-up of visiting authors, as well as lively panel discussions, cook-ups by celebrity chefs, musical events with a literary flavour and numerous children's activities.

Food and drink grx Edinburgh has a great selection of wrK places to eat and drink, from designer restaurants serving prime Scottish produce to brown-walled traditional pubs offering pints of local ale.

Many Festival venues have their own bars or cafes, and in good weather many places spill out onto the streets, adding to the festive atmosphere. Information on bars and restaurants near to Fringe venues, supplied by the List magazine, is also searchable on www.edfringe.com. If you've only got a limited time to eat before a show, or want to catch a bite between shows, it's a good idea to book (and, when you get there, to tell the staff when you need to be out again).

hour to get between two centrally located venues. A detailed map of Edinburgh and its Fringe venues is available at the back of this programme. You can also pick up a free leaflet-sized copy of this map from the Fringe Office.

You can use a bicycle — though beware the cobbles (and the hills!). The local buses are regular and efficient, particularly if you're travelling to and from the centre from the suburbs. Most bus stops have route maps and timetables, while comprehensive route maps are available from the Lothian Buses Travelshops on Waverley Bridge and Hanover Street. It is emphatically not a good idea to use a car to get around the centre of Edinburgh.

Getting around Edinburgh is a hilly city, particularly in the centre, so be prepared for a bit of exercise getting to different shows. Walking really is the best way to get around - if you're seeing shows back-to-back you should leave about half an

aiy Putting on a Show ill, Anyone can perform at the Fringe: if you're inspired (or appalled) by what you see, get in touch with the Fringe Office to find out about putting on a show next year. The Fringe Office will help you find venues, offer PR, marketing

and technical advice, organise ticketing, and make sure your show is promoted through the Fringe Programme and website. On 10 Aug (3pm-5pm) and 15 Aug (6pm-8pm) this year, there's a presentation on "How to do a show at the Fringe" — further details on 0131 226 0026 or at www.edfringe.com.
