Assembly has released a brand-new batch of 80 shows for this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
With artists coming from as far and wide as Ukraine, Armenia, Guinea, Australia and more, the latest offering from Assembly Festival is a set to be a showcase of the best international performance on the Edinburgh stage.
More highlights include true-life gig-theatre Ohio from Francesca Moody Productions, new-writing from Refuse and Strangewife.
Here are 12 of the best of the rest.
5. Trygve Wakenshaw and Barnie Duncan: Different Party
Legendary mime Trygve Wakenshaw and his best pal Barnie Duncan return to Edinburgh with their award-winning show; hilarious slapstick set in the drudgery of the nine to five. Assembly George Square Studios, Studio Two: 30 July to 17 August, 5.10pm. | Assembly
6. Chunky Jewellery
Two friends, one year, two births, a death, 18 bursts of laughter, 34,000 tears (each) and one piece of chunky jewellery. It was a year to forget but instead Natasha and Jude turned it into a show. An achingly joyous celebration of sisterhood, taking the audience on an emotional rollercoaster with open-hearted, brutal honesty. Assembly Rooms, Music Hall: 1 to 24 August, 1.30pm. | Assembly
7. Cirque Kalabanté: WOW (World of Words)
A brand new dynamic, acrobatic and colourful hour combining African and Western culture, from the company behind the sell-out show Afrique en Cirque. Assembly Hall, Main Hall: 31 July to 25 August, 4.10pm. | Assembly
8. Dangerous Goods
An unapologetic cabaret of provocative performances, jaw-dropping physical feats, and powerful acts of rebellion. From Polytoxic and Quiet Riot and featuring artists from Hot Brown Honey, this is not to be missed! Assembly George Square Gardens, Palais du Variété: 30 July to 24 August, 8.05pm. | Assembly
