C venues

welcome to C venues
Your Festival
starts here!
Dive into a packed programme of theatre, cabaret,
musicals, dance, comedy and children’s shows at C,
back for a twenty-fourth year of vibrant variety
With over 200 hand-picked shows and events, C is the place to find
the most extraordinary shows from around the world and around
the corner.
The acknowledged launchpad for new musical talent, and the home
of the largest new-writing programme on the Fringe, C showcases
the best and the brightest work from up-and-coming companies.
With a quarter of our shows originating from outside the UK, we
offer our pick of worldwide physical, musical and family theatre
alongside some of the hottest work from the UK and Europe.
2015 sees a return to C cubed at Brodie’s Close on the Royal
Mile, just along the Lawnmarket from our C too venue, and a
new Festival tent at C soco at ibis, next to the main C venue on
Chambers Street. It’s our fourth year at C nova, our seven-storey
pop-up Festival palace at India Buildings, Victoria Street, showcasing
some of our most exciting and experimental work, including
immersive and site-specific shows, cabaret and film; and our second
year at C south at St Peter’s, Lutton Place, our Festival oasis on the
Southside with extensive gardens and alfresco café-bar.
With six venues at the heart of the Fringe, you’re never far from the
friendliest, funkiest Festival experience. Soak up the atmosphere in
our bars and cafés, indoors and outdoors, through the day and into
the night. And book for just five shows to discover great savings and
on-the-spot discounts with our iCmore card.
From Bardic breakfasts to midnight cabaret, C is the centre of your
Festival. Everything for everyone, every day. Make sure you see it all.
