It was my mission for many years to see a herd of buffalo in America & I was lucky enough to realise that in S Dakota on tour a few years back. There is something about them that moves me. You could call it my spiritual animal.

Wow!!
Get your head around this. The Pleasance sold more Fringe tickets for shows this month than the combined audience for Oasis, AC/DC, Sam Fender & Chappell Roan in Edinburgh in August.
NEW: Edinburgh Festival Fringe withstands the impact of Oasis, AC/DC, Sam Fender & Storm Floris. Fringe ticket sales top 2.6m for 2nd year in a row as 3.5m tickets are sold across all events, gigs & festivals in August.

In case you were wondering, the final number of Fringe shows was 3893 (highest total on record & 147 up on 2024). At least 50 more theatre productions were on this year. The no of venues rose from 262 to 301 year-on-year. Storm Floris led to the cancellation of 138 performances.

It may be the best attended - year after year - but it isn’t close to being the best funded. Almost every aspect of the Edinburgh Festival is under-funded. Support for new artists and performers is particularly grim.
