It’s approaching the end of the first week of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the reviews have been pouring in.
With the physical programme containing over 3,350 shows across 265 venues, it can be a daunting task to work out what exactly you are going to see.
At The Scotsman we review hundreds of shows every year, with the best receiving a sought-after four or five star rating.
This year we have only awarded two theatre shows the perfect five stars so far, but there have been many more that have earned four stars.
More importantly, several of those still have ticket availability for this weekend (August 8-10) so you can go and see what all the fuss is all about.
Here are 13 five and four star theatre shows our team of critics would recommend you see this weekend.

13. Club Nvrlnd
This Saturday's performance of Club Nvrlnd is sold out but you can still see it on Friday, Sunday and for the rest of its run until August 24 at 9.15pm each day as Assembly Checkpoint. What we said: "This slick, hi-octane production is already selling out and attracting repeat custom at Assembly Checkpoint for its joyful club theatre spin on JM Barrie’s classic fantasy tale of escapism unfolding in front of - and behind, above and among - a partying audience of lost boys, girls and other genders." | Contributed
