For 25 years Underbelly has been at the forefront of Fringe programming as one of the largest venue operators at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Each year we are proud to present an eclectic and exciting mix of theatre, comedy, circus, children’s shows, cabaret, music and more. In 2026 we presented over 200 shows in 21 venues across our 4 sites; and now we are delighted to invite applicants to get in touch once more as we build our 2027 festival programme.
Tickets for 2027 will go on sale periodically throughout the new year, with the full programme announced by May.
