Catch the best of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall

Every August the Edinburgh Festival Fringe takes the streets of Scotland’s capital by storm, exploding with art and culture from across the globe. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the biggest showcase in the UK for comedy and theatre, packed full of thousands of performances ranging from cabaret, circus and music.

It has launched the careers of comedians such as Rowan Atkinson, Jo Brand and Tim Minchin, who all graced the Fringe stage before becoming household names. This year’s festival is set to impress with a whole host of comedic geniuses, from Fringe regular and Love Island commentator Iain Stirling to the hilarious Adam Kay.

The Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall are grabbing a slice of the action for Belfast, hosting a range of side-splitting acts that are featuring at this year’s festival.

Don’t have tickets for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe? Don’t fret! The Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall are grabbing a slice of the action for Belfast, hosting a range of side-splitting acts that are featuring at this year’s festival.

Belfast has never been afraid to shy away from a few laughs; year-on-year the Waterfront Hall and UIster Hall brings you the latest, greatest stand-up comedy stars and the finest new talent. From home-grown talent like Shane Todd to Fringe-King Eddie Izzard and funny man Russell Howard, we have you covered for comedy acts.
