Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Posted on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 in - Aren't We Lucky, Edinburgh, News, The Naked Racist

I’m bringing two shows to Edinburgh this year!

The Naked Racist — 20th Anniversary

Gilded Balloon – Wine Bar
Edinburgh
August 5–14, 9:45pm

Celebrating 20 years of the 2006 Edinburgh Comedy Award–winning show.

An unhinged re-telling of an Amsterdam trip gone spectacularly wrong — culminating in an epiphany of epic proportions.

A show that makes you laugh and think while you are watching, and then wakes you up in the night to laugh and think again.
★★★★★ The Scotsman

Mind-blowing. Infectious joy.

 Phil Nichol: Aren’t We Lucky

Gilded Balloon – The Lounge
Edinburgh
August 5–31, 5:20pm

Lou Reed. The Lottery. Ecstasy. Prince Andrew. Punk. Barenaked Ladies. Crisps. Terry Jones. Leukaemia. Butterflies. Dizzy Gillespie’s cheeks. Chance. Scat. Sunshine on Leith. Boo-bee-dee-do. Wasps. The double helix. Comedy. Dennis Hopper. Scrotums. Life.

Phil’s previous show Your Wrong toured internationally — 130+ shows across 13 countries — culminating in a sold-out 10-night run at Soho Theatre.

This is a new beginning.

You won’t see many comedy shows that actually exert g-force. But if you’re a passion junkie, there is no better place to get your fix than Phil Nichol… exhilarating, incredibly funny and clever.
★★★★★ The Scotsman

A veritable comedy goldmine… riotously funny… the audience demand more of the crazed comedy majesty that is Phil Nichol.
