Ed Fringe Special, 2024

It’s August. And the streets of Edinburgh are filled with music, art, laughter, song. Creations of every kind ignite the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Outlined below are the acts we’ve circled in our festival programme.

We’re grinning ear to ear:—

with Rahul Subramanian: Who Are You? After the success of two hit stand-up shows, Bombay comedian Rahul Subramanian makes his Edinburgh debut. Who is he as a person? Giggle (incessantly) as he finds out.

Enjoy a night of laughter

We’re finding front row seats:—

For Boy in Da Korma. No-one would have believed that Tupac was reborn as a half-Indian, half-Irish boy. Written and performed by Jaisal Marmion, this story explores growing up in Britain through Irish-Indian identity.

Watch this unique story

We’re clearing our diary:—

For Runi Talwar as 'Runi Talwar' in Runi Talwar: The Runi Talwar Story. With utmost amusement, Indo-Kiwo-Ausso comedian Runi Talwar tells the story of a man who was once told he should 'get his name out there more' – and took it far too literally.

Enjoy the show

We’re quietly pondering:—

In Anirban Dasgupta: Polite Provocation. First time at the Fringe, Bombay’s Anirban Dasgupta explores the prominent question: what world did he bring his child into? Personal stories, sardonic cynicism and hefty laughs.

Catch the show

We’re hunched forward as we:—

Listen to Sumukhi Suresh: Hoemonal. One of India's top comics makes her Edinburgh debut with a fresh-feminist-funny stand-up show. Here, Sumukhi justifies the spelling of her show's name, and how she is not calling Monal a Hoe.

Get listening

Other acts we are most-excited to see include:

For the moments that we’re not indulging in the performing arts, do find us roaming the streets with our cherished Matka board… big-hearted prizes procurable.
