Blast from the PastThursday 26 May

Welcome to our sparkling summer season – packed with theatre, music, comedy, film and a brand new Summer Family Festival in July.

We pay tribute to music from all eras – from 90s favourites Space to 80s duo China Crisis, from 60s and 70s hits from Bruce Foxton (The Jam) and Big Girls Don’t Cry, to 30s, 40s and 50s jazz with Lady Sings The Blues. Add to that folk and classical and you really will find music to suit all tastes.

We continue our to the stage theatre programme with fantastic contemporary works Into Thin Air and The Midnight Soup and in the main theatre, Great Scott!, the feel-good Blast From The Past and Square Peg’s adaptation of The Maids.

Catch some Edinburgh Comedy Previews here first – as well as our ever-popular Buzz Comedy nights and Radio 4’s multi-award winning Tim FitzHigham as he presents The Gambler.

Don’t miss our Open exhibition featuring the final selection of works from local and national artists and makers, and a series of events from 10–18 June for Sale Festival.

For film this season we celebrate a Summer of Sport – with films featuring football, tennis and the Olympics.

Finally join us for our first Summer Family Festival from 23–30 July – a week-long series of events to keep all the family entertained.

We look forward to welcoming you this summer.

SATURDAY 7 MAYChris Martin is a keen observer, and uses sharply written wit and uniquely twisted logic to find the funny in everyday life, and elicit frequent loud bursts of spontaneous laughter. He tours in his own right and has previously supported Milton Jones.

Jack Campbell won the prestigious title of English Comedian of the year 2014 and has become one of the most refreshingly inventive stand-ups.

Lovdev Barpaga chuckles at his own one-liners to foster a feel-good factor.

SATURDAY 11 JUNEThree of the very best stand-ups on the London circuit:

Headliner Danny Ward returns by request with his delightfully clever punchlines and slick, quick, tongue-twisting gags and set pieces.

Tom Ward (no relation) has an unpredictable style veering from the hilarious to the bizarre, with amazingly accurate impressions and improvisation.

Pierre Novellie tackles topical issues in a slightly surreal and offbeat way, sometimes redolent of Eddie Izzard, but with an affable smile.

Lakin McCarthy present

TIM FITZHIGHAM – THE GAMBLERFriday 24 June 7.30pm | £14 / £12

Multi award-winning comedian, adventurer and world record holder FitzHigham has lots of bad ideas (he rowed the English Channel in a bathtub). Now, inspired by centuries-old bets, Tim attempts: pushing a wheelbarrow 25 miles, in a bet with Top Gear’s Richard Hammond (as first attempted by Goliath Shadbolt in 1789); standing on one leg for 12 hours (a bet from the year 1815); walking backwards for 30 miles and other death-defying feats...

“Gut-bustingly funny” ★★★★★ The Scotsman

“Tim FitzHigham is unhinged. He is completely without hinges Eddie Izzard”

THE MAIDSWednesday 18 May 8pm | £12 / £10

In Square Peg Theatre’s radical new telling of Jean Genet’s seminal play we delve into the surreal world of Solange and Claire. Deeply resentful of their social position they plot to kill their beloved Madame, creating a fantastical world of revenge and sadomasochism that drives them to the brink of madness and murder.

Using Square Peg’s deft physical style, the audience is propelled by a whirlwind of shifting perspectives which expose the paradox that we are all trapped by our freedom. A classic example of French absurdism, The Maids remains as chilling and relevant as ever.

Precious Cargo present

INTO THIN AIRFriday 6 May 8pm | £10 / £8 In the Chambers

She was doing okay. She had a good job, a great relationship, a nice little flat with cheap wine in the fridge and expensive cushions on the sofa. She was being everything to everyone and juggling all the things that keep a person afloat. But something had to drop. Last night she sipped a glass of water and it seeped out through her skin. Into Thin Air explores the increasing pressure on everyone to succeed at everything. Using tight ensemble performance and magical-realism, Precious Cargo presents a slick, intelligent exploration of how we cope in an increasingly pressurised world.

Gonzo Moose present

The Midnight Soup is the love letter of a grandson to his grandmother, it is also an edible memorial, celebrating a life lived to the rhythm of the seasons.
