It’s nearly time for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to take over the theatres, gyms, hotels, streets and pubs of Scotland’s Capital.
Taking place from August 2-26 (although there are previews in the days running up to the official launch), there are over 3,500 shows taking place, from music and dance, to theatre and spoken word.
The largest - and most high-profile - section of the programme is comedy, with the festival having the reputation of finding the television and film stars of the future.
Everybody from Steve Coogan to Richard Gadd had their big break at the Festival Fringe and many big names return years after initially finding fame.
Here are 13 television and film stars you can catch in 2024.
1. Miriam Margolyes
National treasure Miriam Margolyes has starred in everything from Blackadder to Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, via Harry Potter, Romeo + Juliet, Little Shop of Horrors and a myriad of other classic films and television programmes. She's bringing her show 'Margolyes & Dickens: The Best Bits' to the Edinburgh and, while it's in the theatre section, there's bound to be plenty of laughs - particularly in the question and answer section.
