There are only two weekends left of this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which has made a triumphant return after the pandemic caused the complete cancellation of last year’s event.
While it’s scaled back compared to a regular August in the Capital, as lockdown restrictions have continued to ease more events and performances have been added to the programme every day.
And, now that there is no longer a curfew on entertainment venues, the traditional late-night Fringe shows have also made a return, including the Gilded Balloon’s famous Late ‘n’ Live.
So, if you’ve had a few drinks and want to catch some comedy there are various options.
Here are 11 that start after 11pm. All tickets can be booked at www.edfringe.com.
