Edinburgh Fringe 2025

July 29, 2025

The Totally Improvised Company is back for this year's Edinburgh Fringe with FOUR shows! We’re once again back with the Laughing Horse Free Festival. You can guarantee a seat for most of our shows with a Pay What You Can ticket or take a chance on the day and make a donation at the end - and this is the important bit - only if you can afford to do so! We believe this is the best and most accessible ticketing model for both audiences and artists alike at the world’s biggest arts festival.

Whether you're looking for family friendly fun, some musical mayhem, a ridiculous character comedy show or want to help us raise some money for a great cause, we have a little something for everyone at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

Great Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe

COMEDYSPORTZ

31st July - 17th August | 13.45 | Laughing Horse @ The Three Sisters - Live Room | TICKETS

ComedySportz is back for our 18th Edinburgh Festival Fringe! Nominated Best Kids Show at this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival, don’t miss the festival’s funniest fixture as two teams go for gold with quick-witted gags and games. Who wins? YOU decide!

"Very, Very, Very Funny" ★★★★★ Mix Up Theatre

"Very funny improv every time." ★★★★ The Derek Awards

"Skilled and funny." ★★★★ Three Weeks

THE TOTALLY IMPROVISED MUSICAL

31st July - 17th August | 17.30 | Laughing Horse @ The Three Sisters - Live Room | TICKETS

The Totally Improvised Musical returns to the Fringe for the opening and closing night of even more brand-new comedy musicals. Our cast compose the show on the spot from titles suggested by the audience! Every night a new musical!

"Guarantees hilarity, absurdity, fantastic vocals, and catchy songs." ★★★★½ Frankly My Dear UK

"Inventive and riotously funny." ★★★★ North West End

"Joy every night." ★★★★ Corr Blimey

GOING COASTAL with DONALD McGINTY

1st - 9th August | 10.30 | Laughing Horse @ Bar 50 - The Alcove | TICKETS

We’re producing this silly and inventive parody show at the Edinburgh Fringe. An hour of ridiculous character comedy with a surprisingly earnest bit about the Environment and a vaguely satisfying narrative arc.

“McGinty proves an affable captain of this enjoyable pleasure cruise.” Steve Bennett, Chortle

EDINBURGH FRINGE IMPROV JAM

13th August | 15.00 | Laughing Horse @ The Three Sisters - Live Room  | MORE INFO

Come along for a one-off improv jam inviting improvisers from the Festival to come down and play. Audiences can expect an hilarious time with some of the top improv performers at the Fringe and donations will go to the National Youth Arts Trust, whose bursaries, youth theatres and mentorships help talented students from the UK's most disadvantaged backgrounds train in dance, music and drama.

If that’s not enough for you, several of our players will also be appearing in shows across the festival including: Comedy Club 4 Kids, Star Trek Vs. Star Wars, Best of Edinburgh Fringe for Kids, Beat The Comic, Sketch Thieves, Batsu!, Comics Vs. Kids and more… Make sure you’re following us on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok or BlueSky for updates on all our appearances across the festival.
