Evil is rising. Grab a mop. Multi award-winning comedy captains Kill the Beast present a new twisted tale inspired by 80s sci-fi, 90s gaming and cracking superhero theme tunes. From the brains behind The Boy Who Kicked Pigs and He Had Hairy Hands, Don't Wake The Damp is a non-stop, neon rollercoaster of shocks, shadows and shameless wigs. Original music, astounding projection and trademark dreadful faces - dare you find out what's waiting in the dark? 'A scorchingly talented young company' (Time Out). 'Incredibly, unbelievably funny' (List). 'A deliciously macabre affair' (Stage).

Fringe: our pick of the bunch

Little ripples. That's how it starts. Little ripples getting bigger. And then suddenly you're eye to eye with a dinosaur. The Edinburgh Fringe is the T-Rex of arts festivals and it has a way of creeping up on you. For ages it's a faint shape on the horizon, reassuringly far away, and then it pounces.
