Stars including Sir Cliff Richard, Gail Porter and Ken Loach will be at the festival this August.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe has unveiled a programme of more than 3,000 shows for this year's event in August.
Shows will take place in 248 venues, including unusual ones such as a swimming pool, a boxing club and stand-up sets by Armed Forces veterans in Lady Haig's Poppy Factory. The comedian said the high cost of accommodation in the city meant "only people with a fair amount of wealth can attend". If the 3,013 shows in the programme are anything to go by, the fringe mantra of offering anyone a stage, and everyone a seat still holds.
Part of the Fringe's problem is that it channels that early spirit of the eight theatre companies who turned up uninvited to the first Edinburgh International Festival in 1947.
