It is our fifth year at the Fringe, and the fourth that we have run the Pick of the Fringe, and still we are blown away by phenomenal quality and sheer genius that occupies the Scottish capital. In no particular order, here is the best of what we saw during the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A huge congratulations to everyone on this list!

Each Fringe, we see well over 150 shows from across art forms and venues, free and paid-for. After each one, we pool our thoughts and award the best we saw. Congratulations to this year's thirteen winners.
