It’s nearly time for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to take over the theatres, gyms, hotels, streets and pubs of Scotland’s Capital.
Taking place from August 2-26 (although there are previews in the days running up to the official launch), there are over 3,500 shows taking place, from music and dance, to theatre and spoken word.
The largest - and most high-profile - section of the programme is comedy, with the festival having the reputation of finding the television and film stars of the future.
Everybody from Steve Coogan to Richard Gadd had their big break at the Festival Fringe and many big names return years after initially finding fame.
Here are 13 television and film stars you can catch in 2024.
13. Terry Christian
Famous for hosting the legendary late night Channel 4 television show 'The Word', Terry Christian is bringing 'Naked Confessions of a Recovering Catholic' to Edinburgh this year, telling stories about his life, from a troubled inner-city childhood to mixing with some of the world's biggest stars. Hear all the celeb tales at The Stand Comedy Club from August 12-18. | Gertty Images
