Theatre for breakfast! Free pastries! A bold, ridiculous, heart-breaking attempt to hold an accurate picture of the whole world in your head. A place with only five official haircuts for men. A place where you confess your sins to voicemail. A place where a radio station only broadcasts silence. 'Gorgeous... Makes you think about the world, makes you laugh about the world, makes you glad to be part of the world in all its madness – what more could you want?' (TotalTheatre.org). Returning to the Fringe for the British Council Edinburgh Showcase. www.thirdangel.co.uk

A classic revue show with a modern twist! This all-singing, all-dancing show brings the best of London’s West End to the Fringe. Following the success of their sell-out show at the 2012 Fringe, Side-by-Side by Sondheim, MCG Productions is delighted to be bringing a brand new musical revue, featuring a cast of London-based professional musical theatre performers, to the 2013 Fringe. Featuring songs by composers such as Stephen Schwartz, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim this show promises to be a hot ticket for all musical theatre lovers!

Make a day of it with the Wee Rascals Club showing Scottish film Brave followed by a ceilidh just for kids. Tickets include a buffet lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties. Perfect for all ages!

It's New Year's Eve in the household of Bill Ding and Anne Arky. The wine is flowing and the guests are buzzing, all unaware as to what is about to happen. As the clock strikes twelve, chaos descends upon the party. Whose New Year's will be cut short and whose will be a blur? Come along to this amusing get together, to watch as all the characters bring their own story to the party. From fear of loneliness to never finding love to bickering couples and hand guns.

Figs in Wigs have been taking objects for granted, exploiting their physical forms by placing them onstage and manipulating them for our own selfish advantage. We have objectified objects for too long: it’s time to put the spotlight in the spotlight, let the staging upstage us and finally show our objects some affection. We, Object is an absurdist amalgamation of visual puns, word play and amateur dancing. (NB: This is not a show about small things). 'Deliciously watchable' (Stage). 'Dali would be proud' (Scotsman). 'Clever, witty and wonderfully irreverent' (BroadwayBaby.com).

Feel like you've been badly coded? A show about happiness, self-acceptance – and the orange ghost from Pac-Man. Spoken word poet/performer and Canterbury Laureate Dan Simpson's debut solo show. www.dansimpsonpoet.co.uk/orange-ghosts 

From the team behind the critically acclaimed two-handed version of the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists comes a new drama based on the events in Tolpuddle, Dorset, 1834, when a group of farm labourers were convicted and transported by an oppressive government for swearing a secret oath and forming a trade union to fight against a succession of wage cuts inflicted by the local farmers. This important and relevant story is told through Townsend Productions’ entertaining theatrical style of powerful storytelling, animation and exquisite musical arrangements by revered folk musician John Kirkpatrick.

From the creator of the 2012 Edinburgh 'Must See' ( Stage) show When Alice (Cooper) met (Prince) Harry comes a brand new work about the occasional advantages of being an outsider and living between the waves. Praise for Alice Mary Cooper's previous work When Alice (Cooper) met (Prince) Harry. ‘Outstanding stuff’ (RipItUp.com, Adelaide Fringe). ‘Five stars’ (BroadwayBaby.com, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012). ‘Must-see’ (Stage, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012).

Welcome to Beachy Head, East Sussex, the third most popular suicide spot in the world. Dreadful, isn't it? Only third. A member of Beachy Head's chaplaincy team, Carol has her work cut out when it comes to saving people from the brink. Can she go beyond the call of duty to save both depressed romantic Miles and attention-seeking ex-pop star Randy? Poignant, stimulating, witty and entertaining, Way Back is a genuinely daring new comedy, sensitively exploring the taboo themes of suicide, existential crises, and toothpaste. @WayBackTheShow
