Calendar – A quick look at the show dates. Dates in grey have no performances and shows in red are eligible for the 2for1 offer (04 and 05 August). Date, time, duration and price lines – the Fringe uses a 24-hour clock. Fringe days begin at 07:00 and end at 06:59 the following day. Shows in the early hours will therefore be listed for the day before. Free shows can be Ticketed or Non-ticketed. Ensure you book a ticket for Free Ticketed shows. Prices listed are for unreserved seats in almost all cases. Concession prices, where available, are offered to the following groups (with additional concessions to specific groups indicated where applicable): students (S), registered unemployed (U), people with disabilities (D), senior citizens (O), and children under 18 (C). Proof of status will be asked for at the venue. A further concession for families (F) may be offered for two adults and two children, or one adult and three children under the age of 18. X Dates for preview performances are indicated with this icon.

Venue information – B, V and G indicate the Box Office phone number, venue number and venue grid reference numbers on the map at the back of this programme. The name of space within the venue is noted in the brackets after the grid reference.

introduCtion From The cHair oF tHe SoCietY’s board It is my absolute pleasure to present you with the official Edinburgh Festival Fringe Programme for 2014. In what promises to be a memorable year for Scotland, its people and its festivals, I hope you will take time to explore everything the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe has to offer. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, the organisation that underpins the Fringe, has a dedicated team who work yearround providing advice, support and encouragement to all participants of the festival, whether they’re seasoned performers or nervously taking to the stage for the first time. The Society is also here to ensure the visiting public gets the most out of their time in Edinburgh by providing comprehensive information and ticketing services through this packed programme, the Fringe App, edfringe.com and the busy Box Offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Supporting the wealth of talent who flock to Edinburgh each August takes time and dedication, and is only possible because of the interest and involvement of the many people who support the Society, both in August and throughout the year. As a registered charity, it is the generosity of audiences, Friends, sponsors and funders who invest in what the Society does that ensures the Fringe continues to take centre-stage each summer. With your support, you are helping to push the boundaries with what can be achieved, allowing more participants to explore their work and reach a wider audience, allowing them to take risks, and ensuring that we can all experience the arts in its many forms. Watching Edinburgh light up in August never fails to excite and inspire me, and I hope you will join me in embracing all that the Edinburgh Festival Fringe has to offer in 2014.

Your travel to Edinburgh has an impact on the environment and flying from cities in the UK can take as long as travelling by train when you consider check-in times. Why not take the train or bus? ScotRail (scotrail.co.uk) and Scottish Citylink (citylink.co.uk) both have extensive network routes to Edinburgh from all over Scotland and provide a range of travel options and offers across August. If you are bringing your own car, please be aware that Edinburgh has limited parking and strict restrictions in place. For more information on travelling to and around Edinburgh, including public transport and car sharing, please visit edfringe.com.

Getting Around Edinburgh is a compact city and the majority of venues are located within easy walking distance of each other. During August, the quickest way to get between venues can often be on foot. Edinburgh has an excellent local bus service for getting into the city if you’re staying in the outskirts, or for getting around, and most venues are not far from a bus stop.

The Fringe programme map includes information on some useful routes, but more complete cycling maps can be found at innertubemap.com and through Spokes.org.uk. The city is also dotted with conveniently located taxi ranks, or you can flag down one of the distinctive black cabs (the orange light on top of the taxi means that it is available for hire).

Edfringe.com also includes Google maps next to each show and venue listing. And you can also download our Fringe App for iPhone and Android phones to help you navigate your way around.

enviRonment The Fringe Society is working closely with Festivals Edinburgh and Creative Carbon Scotland to reduce our negative environmental impacts.

Brent Weinbach

TLP

Three young, up-and-coming comedians talk about how being born in the 90s has impacted their lives. Expect tales of drugs, love and wasted youth, but most of all expect to laugh.

Brent Weinbach is weird. Through an absurd discourse, Brent attempts to adjust his personality in order to fit in with the world around him. ‘...obscenely, disturbingly brilliant’ (LA Weekly). ‘Weird, scary, hilarious’ (Time Out).

Hayley is desperate. She keeps getting conned. Plus the voice in her head is a girl with a guitar who turns her failings into rhyming couplets. Fall Girl is a musical comedy about getting scammed and getting gumption.

It's not about Leonardo DiCaprio. Or lettuce. It's about perspective – what we see, what we think we know and what's actually happening. You know what's underneath the tip of the iceberg? The rest of the iceberg.

TFALP

Hedluv and Passman

Ronan Linskey / Free Festival

In Cornwall they regard themselves as modern day folk heroes. But the moment they cross the border they become... a joke. Still, with seeming indifference they plough on. 'Crucial stuff.'

After 13.8 billion years, I've managed to put together some of the things I've been saying on a stage to people (you?) into an hour of comedy. It's late I know. 'Super sharp ... a talent to watch' (Belfast Telegraph).

Juxtaposing poetry of political repression in Latin America against traditional religious texts, holy minimalist MacMillan's Cantos Sagrados protests against the disappearances of the politically inconvenient. A sacred yet secular piece with moments of savage beauty.

Alcohol Costs Too Much!

Arrest That Poet!

Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas

Is minimum alcohol pricing making our health worse? By treating us like idiots, do policymakers turn us into them? Or can some of us just not handle our drink? Come and tell us what you think.

How did an environmental poet become targeted by undercover cops, sued for £5 million and forced to explain himself to Richard and Judy? Storytelling meets slam poetry in this darkly funny true tale of rhyming and rebellion.

Paradise Lost

The Penelopiad

Paul Van Dyck

Cambridge Shortlegs

TFK

Paradise Lost is a one-man, multi-media, theatrical adaptation of John Milton’s epic 17th century poem. It involves puppets, state of the art computer animation, and a rock‘n’roll soundscape.

Margaret Atwood's retelling of Homer's Odyssey, through the eyes of Odysseus' wife and her twelve doomed maids. With witty dialogue, movement and music, this energetic and fast-paced reimagining puts a modern punch back into an ancient tale.

A re-imagining of the Greek myth of Persephone told through shadows, music, puppetry and dance. Unlike the traditional story of kidnapping and female helplessness, Pomegranate tells the story from Persephone's perspective and introduces a new world.

Set inside a mental hospital, this post-war Japanese classic is often compared to Cuckoo’s Nest. Though in proximity to others, these characters are alone. Often funny, awkward and poignant, they try finding warmth in the comfort of others.

London, 1964. Jimmy, loathing his dead-end job and dead-end parents, lives for his scooter and his Mod mates. It’s August Bank Holiday and gangs of Mods are heading to Brighton on their scooters. Trouble is, so are the Rockers.

South African Season | South African State Theatre and Assembly

Sirens

Ontroerend Goed, Drum-Plymouth, Vooruit, Richard Jordan, Big in Belgium, Summerhall

TFK

Silent Voice portrays four men who get together for an intelligent but highly dangerous heist. Peppered with ironic cultural undertones, it's about the relationship between man and his dream to obtain wealth at any cost.

We are the weaker sex. We can’t control our feelings; crying, sulking and suffering inexplicable mood-swings. We are either whores or saints. We’re good liars, using our bodies to get on in life. We’re Sirens. The stage is ours.
