ABOUT SHEDINBURGH
WELCOME TO OUR SHED
Shedinburgh is a brand-new venue with a curated programme of theatre, comedy, and music from your favourite fringe artists.
We’ve invited the very best performers to revive a cult-classic or try something new. Enjoy a one-off special of your all-time-favourite fringe show, stripped back to its core and reimagined for Shedinburgh. Catch a work-in-progress of something a little different from Fringe legends – or discover a world-premiere of a script handpicked by the producer of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer.
Shedinburgh is a celebration of the Fringe and an investment in its future. All artists are paid and offered accommodation, with Pay What You Can tickets available for every show. We’re also supporting the next generation of artists through our annual Shedload-of-Future Fund, and free-to-attend SHEDx talks.
This summer, step inside our shed and experience the Fringe as you’ve never seen it before. Unplugged, up close, and unforgettable.
“An extraordinary shedload of visions and re-visions; first chances and second chances; new and old work”
