The Soho Theatre is launching its own Shedinburgh Fringe Festival, an online event that will preserve the spirit of the Edinburgh Fringe… in sheds.

The digital festival will present the very best of the Fringe stalwarts of theatre, music and comedy, along with new acts, all performed live from sheds across the country and streamed into people’s homes.

At a time when venues face an uncertain future and artists are struggling Shedinburgh will shout loud about the Fringe’s vital role in global culture, celebrate its past successes and breakthrough artists and provide a platform for the talent that would have been on this year.

The event will run from 14th August to 5th September, with daily live-streamed events including one-night-only performances from established Fringe favourites, slots for new artists through Open Call Submissions and industry panel discussions.

Featuring shows from Helen Baer, Tim Crouch, Rosie Jones, Adam Kashmiry, Yolanda Mercy, Deborah Frances-White, Gary McNair, Sara Pascoe, Steen Raskopoulos, Jack Rooke, Joe Sellman-Leava, Mark Thomas and more.

Performances are streamed only once and will not be repeated. When you book you will be sent a unique Zoom link ahead of your performance, so you can watch any of the line up from the comfort of your own home (or shed).

All proceeds raised from ticket sales will go to a fund to support new artists to bring their work to the Edinburgh Festival in 2021 – A Shed Load of Future – sustaining and reinvigorating the Fringe’s future beyond this year.
