Comedy Shows at Edinburgh Fringe 2026
6-Minute NERDx Talks by ComediansComedians deliver micro-presentations with a twist. Each PowerPoint has exactly 18 slides, and each slide advances automatically after 20 seconds. Every day, a fresh lineup gives talks on science, history, tapirs or whatever else their nerdy passion may be. Expect neurotransmitters, war heroes and Pokémon. The final talk is a mystery slideshow, where comedians improvise as "experts" (heavy quotation marks) on slides that they have never seen before. Follow on Instagram for updates on each day's topics and speakers. ‘Never before will you have learnt so much from a comedy show’ (TheMagdalen.com). Hosted by David Benaim & Scott Redmond

Excel Comedy& Mathem-antics4:40PM - Sun-Fri 6-30 Aug 2026 (Not 13) - The Caves
10:00PM - Saturdays (8, 15, 22, 29 August) - Just the Tonic Nucleus A comedy show for spreadsheet experts and casual users alike that blends stand-up, storytelling and demos. Sprinkled amongst the comedy routine, you'll learn a few Excel tricks from a true piece of sheet: pun-loving Excel YouTuber and Jewish math addict David, who regularly advises Microsoft on future directions for Excel. Growing up with a maths obsession paved the way for David to become 'The Excel Guy' at the office, attend spreadsheet conferences and mathem-antics. David's Fringe debut was a sell-out run in 2025. 'Funny, geeky and sneakily moving' (Highly Recommended Show, FringeReview.co.uk).
