Four thousand shows. One month. One very tired brain trying to work out what’s actually worth seeing. If you’ve ever stood on the Royal Mile clutching a soggy flyer wondering where to start, this one’s for you.
So we built a free tool that does the sifting for you. A real comedy producer has picked just short of 60 shows out of the 4,000, and the Fringe Day Planner turns them into one sorted day built around you: what makes you laugh, how many shows you fancy, and when you want to start and finish.
Built around you, in about a minute
No account, no faff. Tell it a handful of things and it maps out your day: shows that don’t clash, walk times between venues so you’re not legging it from the Pleasance to Monkey Barrel, and ticket links and prices on every one. You can set your budget too, so it won’t hand you back a day you can’t afford.
Picked by a person, not a search bar
No algorithm, and no dumping all 4,000 shows on you to sort through yourself. The shortlist is hand-picked by Katie Palmer, a working comedy producer who stages eight shows at this year’s Fringe and tours comedy around the UK and Ireland all year, and every pick comes with a straight description from an actual comedy fan, not recycled blurb.
Honest about which ones are ours
Yes, we’re a comedy company, and a handful of the shows are our own shows. So we’ve labelled every single one: our show, an act we work with, or one we’ve no connection to and just genuinely rate. You get the full picture, and you make your own mind up.
Free, and yours to keep
Your plan appears on screen straight away. Screenshot it, send it round the group chat, done, no email needed. Planning for a gang with different tastes? Build a plan each and compare in the group chat before anyone books. Or pop your email in and we’ll send the whole thing to your inbox, plus a few more Fringe picks worth your time while the festival’s on.
Right, go build your day
It takes about a minute. Build your Fringe day here. And if you fancy seeing what we’re putting on ourselves this year, have a nosy at our Fringe 2026 shows.
