Ed Fringe Recommendations 2026

Here are my comedy recommendations for 2026!

These are artists who I know, trust, have seen their previous shows, or this show either in WIP state or in its finished form.

Shows in italics I have helped work on.

Take a punt and select one or two from each for a dynamic little platter of Ed Fringe eccentricity.
