Get ready for Edinburgh Fringe 2026!🥳🎉

If you're new here, Fringe, the biggest arts festival in the world, is legendary for launching comedy stars…but it’s also legendary for completely draining your bank account.

But the good news is we're doing the heavy lifting (and the walking) for you. 🤫 We’ve scouted the absolute best rising comics and we're streaming the festival's hottest shows straight to your screen. This August, get ready for pure, unfiltered, front-row Fringe brilliance from the comfort of your couch.

Oh, and obviously you guys will be the first to know about the lineup...coming soon! Any predictions/wishes/desires/dreams? 🤗

Loving these clues 🤣! August can't come soon enough.

What's happening this week on NextUp! 🔴

Hello hello gang! Here's what coming up for you...

🎤Roast Battle Scotland: Streaming from Monkey Barrel Comedy, this is the show that turns smack talk into an art form! Roast Battle puts comedians head-to-head in a battle of verbal onslaughts. Not for the faint-hearted, each battler has five roast jokes to defeat their opponent. MC is Billy Kirkwood! 

Oh and if you want to join in on the cryptic fun happening on Instagram right now, you definitely should! 👀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some behind the scenes pics from The Comedy UK Radio Roadshow last week! What a brilliant night and amazing way to launch Comedy UK! 😍⭐

Hahaha! NextUp you guys are so unserious 🤣 This poll made me laugh. But in all seriousness, I'm now wondering if Mary Poppins is probably the better choice.
