There are over 25,000 different comedy shows at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Well, no. Actually there are only 1,214 comedies to choose from. It just feels like a lot more.

So much fun, so little time. The Oasis tour even coincidentally stops off there during August, though forget those ageing Britpop hairstyles, this is the only Fringe that matters. And I’m here to help. For those planning an Edinburgh visit below are ten shows you really must see. And here's an extra hack - if you go early there are discounted previews and 2-for-1 deals. Dive in and enjoy.
