Sean’s Show Schedule for
2026
This year, my wife, Debbie, has joined me
again. She’ll be seeing fewer shows than
me, but still see around six a day. She
likes quirkier shows than I do, so the selections don’t reflect just my
tastes. We will still see all the
Traverse has to offer, and see Out of the Blue on the last day. In May, Underbelly offered shows at £7 on
Wednesdays so we are seeing their shows on the 12th, 19th,
and 26th. Some people asked me
to review their shows before I create our main schedule. Despite many not being to my taste, I have
scheduled them. . It will be fun to step even further out of my
comfort zone. That is part of what makes
the Fringe so wonderful!
In June and July, I wrote a C++ program that
generates a schedule with a maximum of eight plays a day based on our ratings
of the non-comedy shows and the travel times between venues. What you see below are those we have
bought, We’ve bought all the suggested shows
until the 12th, and only our favorite shows after that.
If you wish to view some play(s) with us, please
send me e-mail: sean@fringefan.com, or
just come to the front of the line at our scheduled play, and we will be there
chatting away with our neighbors.
You can change the sorting column of the table by

Each succeeding click in the header will cause the table to be sorted by
the column clicked. Succeeding clicks of
a column will reverse the sort.
