The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2025 Prologue – Welcome To Season Twenty One

July 4, 2025

Season 21

Episode 1

00:08:42

The Edinburgh Fringe Show started in 2005, and as Fringe 2025 appears on the horizon, we’re going to get started on our 21st season covering the largest arts festival in the world.

We have a few traditions in these parts. One of those is our prologue podcast—a chance to ensure the website, podcast feed, and all the other digital components are ready to go. We’ll have weekly preview interviews through July to help set the scene, before a rush of recordings in August.

As always, we have the music of Daniel Cainer to remind us what it’s like to be in Edinburgh at this time of year.

That changes this year, as the gothic 90-seat theatre opens its doors once more. Ewan sat down with venue manager Marie Rimolsrønning to find out what it takes to return to the Fringe, what Bedlam represents, and some of the shows we can expect.
