fringe 2025
Hoots @ Potterrow Underpass is THE alternative venue at Edinburgh Fringe. Offering a home to the fringiest of the Fringe artists, it is an essential part of the cultural makeup of Edinburgh in August.
We continue the fantastic Midnight Variety slot offering a delicious selection of wild and wonderful Fringe acts for the deep night.
We maintain the mini food market too, offering our customers the best value hot food at The Fringe!
How it works
Our aim is to cover our costs and help great acts have a great Fringe.
Punters can buy a ticket in advance to guarantee a seat or pay what you want on exit.
Shows can set any ticket price (usually between £5 and £10)
We have two spaces in 2025:
1 – The Yurt; a 45 seater yurt that will be familiar to people whi have played with us before.
2 – The Container; a 28 seater container, new for this year
We have room rental on each space, with an 80% / 20% ticket income split in the performer’s favour after the artist recovers the initial room rental.
