Choose Your Shows

There are 35 international performing companies in this year's Fringe, most of them are doing six performances over the 12 day festival. You can browse through The Shows, or use the Daily Schedule to see what's on when you're available. Also, check out the Special Events page for previews, one-night-only shows, Fringe-ing for families, aprez-Fringe parties and more - some of these events are Free or Pay-What-You-Can.

Love Your Lineup

For popular shows, you might have to line-up if you don't have advance tickets. This is a normal and healthy part of Fringe-ing. Take this opportunity to ask the people around you what they've seen that's good.

Four Fringe Rules

You must have a ticket and a Fringe Visa Button to enter a Fringe Venue. (See the Tickets & Passes for details)
NO LATECOMERS - Fringe shows start on time. If the doors are closed when you arrive, we cannot let you in, even if you have a ticket.
All ticket sales are final. No exchanges or refunds.
CASH ONLY or passes for tickets at the door.

Shows rated ALL AGES may not be suitable for young children.
