The big name acts coming to Edinburgh Fringe this year

The Edinburgh Fringe always attracts some big names to perform, and 2022’s festival is no exception. Running from 5 – 29 August 2022, this year’s event will see incredibly famous acts from the worlds of drama, music, comedy, and more appear on an almost month-long run at the festival.

Billing itself as the “single greatest celebration of arts and culture on the planet”, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival takes over hundreds of venues across the city. This year is particularly special, as the festival celebrates its 75th anniversary, and the lineup is set to include big-name acts like Al Murray, Stewart Lee, and Omid Djalili.

Sadly, comedian Frank Skinner who regularly performs at the festival, had to cancel this year’s run at the last minute due to family health issues.
