10 Edinburgh Fringe Festival plays taking place during the day

If you’re in Edinburgh this August and are lucky enough to not be working during the day, why not take in one of these pieces of theatre?

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is back after the pandemic caused the complete cancellation of last year’s event.

While it’s scaled back compared to a regular August in the Capital, as lockdown restrictions have continued to ease, there are still more than 400 shows to enjoy, with the majority taking place in the evening.
