We're back for Edinburgh Fringe 2026!
Oh hey Reader,
Guess who's returning to Edinburgh Fringe?
That's right... Lost in Translation is back, baby. We had an absolute blast with you in 2025, and we are not done yet.
This year we're at Gilded Balloon at the Museum, 9pm, every night from 5–30 August except the 17th and 24th (we need to sleep occasionally). New venue. Same unhinged energy.
And because we can't help ourselves, we've added THREE brand new scripts to the roster this year:
🎀 Mean Girls
🔫 James Bond: Casino Royale
❤️ Love Actually
...joining all the fan favourites you know and love.
If you saw us last year, you already know what we're about. Which means you have two very important options:
- Come back and see a completely different script. Same chaos, whole new disaster. You won't regret it.
- Tell a friend. Seriously. Word of mouth is everything for a show like ours, and if you had a good time, someone in your life deserves to experience it too. Send them this. Text them right now. You'd be doing them a favour.
Full script list and dates are below — find your favourites, grab your tickets early, and we'll see you at the Museum.

One more thing...
We want YOU to help cast our guest stars this year.
Each night, Lost in Translation welcomes special guests into the chaos, and we're on the hunt for some fresh b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶ talent. Got someone in mind? A comedian, an actor, a musician, a local legend, your mate who has a Fringe show? We want to hear it.
Hit reply and tell us who you'd love to see join us on stage at the Museum this August.
And if you personally know them? Even better. Slide their contact details our way (ideally with their permission) and we'll take it from there. Consider yourself an official Lost in Translation talent scout. No salary, but we'll think of you fondly if they nail it.
