We’re looking forward to our Fringe run this summer – we’re at Assembly Piccolo at 3:05pm, from August 1-17, 22-24 – but also have some shows to recommend to you. Some of which star CC4K veterans, like improvisers Comedy Sportz, Foxdog Studios, Jody Kamali, Katie Pritchard, The Listies, Mat Ricardo, Olaf Fafalel, Robin Morgan, and Trygve Wakenshaw.
All of these are suitable for primary-school age kids (see age ratings), and their grown-ups.

NB Where a show is marked with a £ sign, that means you can buy tickets in advance. ‘PWYC’ is Pay What You Can, with some set price structures or the ability to get in free and then donate afterwards. (‘PWYW’ means ‘Pay What You Want’, giving the performer a donation by cash or card at the end. ‘£/PWYW’ shows are those where you can either choose to buy in advance to secure your seats, or take a chance and turn up hoping to get in, then pay on the way out.)
Also. If you go to the ADVANCED SEARCH page of the Edfringe website, you can look for shows that are on at a particular time, and/or on a particular day, and/or are in a specific category (e.g. ‘comedy’, ‘dance’) and/or are accessible. It can really help you to find shows that would suit your family by combining your searches.
