[size=150:sudhymnv]Roll up for the 50 best shows at the Edinburgh Festival

[size=100:sudhymnv]The Edinburgh Festival is a riot of the good, bad and plain bizarre. Our critics choose this year's top 50 shows

[size=100:sudhymnv]Comedy: Stewart Lee

After splurging three hours of material on his recent television series, Lee uses his month at the Fringe to run in some new material for his autumn tour, If You Prefer a Milder Comedian Please Ask for One. Sure to include some of the sharpest and most relentless routines in town, work-in-progress or not. Aug 5-30, The Stand

Theatre: The Last Witch

Rona Munro’s latest play is set in northern Scotland in 1727 and involves one Janet Horne, who was said to be able to heal animals, summon the wind and charm fish out of the sea. To the inhabitants of little Dornoch all that seemed a bit suspicious, especially as she refused to deny their accusations of sorcery — and, as a result, she became what the title suggests, the last woman to be burnt as a witch in Scotland. Aug 23-29, Royal Lyceum

Comedy: Julian Clary: Lord of the Mince

He’s back! And if you’d thought turning 50 might mean a shock change of Clary’s stand-up strategy, think again. “Expect filth and smut in liberal quantities,” we’re told. Still, who better, in a time of flagging spirits, to stiffen our resolve (etc)? Aug 22-30, Pleasance Courtyard

Jazz: Mardi Gras

New Orleans comes to Edinburgh with marching bands, a carnival atmosphere and three hours of non-stop music from several stages. Masks and costumes encouraged. Aug 1, 1pm, Grassmarket

Theatre: Faith Healer/The Yalta Game/Afterlife

Three plays by Brian Friel come to Edinburgh from Dublin’s Gate Theatre : respectively the story of a modern shaman;
an adaptation of Chekhov’s Lady with the Little Dog;
and an imaginary encounter between characters who have escaped from the great Russian’s Uncle Vanya and The Three Sisters. Aug 15-Sept 5, King’s Theatre

Dance: The Return of Ulysses

Picking up on the official festival’s homecoming theme is the Royal Ballet of Flanders with their production of The Return of Ulysses. Choreographed by Christian Spuck and set to music by Purcell and Doris Day (how’s that for a combination?), the production looks at the fate of Penelope when her husband Ulysses went off to fight in the Trojan Wars. And what will happen when he comes back? Aug 21-24, Playhouse

Comedy: Rhys Darby

If you only know the Kiwi comic for his fine support work as Murray the manager in Flight of the Conchords, you’ve got a treat in store. A fine stand-up in his own right, Darby is also a very physical performer with a stunning sideline in sound effects. Aug 6-15, E4 Udderbelly’s Pasture

Theatre: Faust

Will the great auteur Silviu Purcarete be more indebted to Marlowe or to Goethe when he brings the National Theatre Radu Stanca Sibiu from his native Romania? With music, pantomime, torture, murder, exotic effects and more than 100 performers onstage, this promenade production promises to be more maverick. Aug 18-22, Lowland Hall, Ingliston

Comedy: Janeane Garofalo

She’s been one of America’s most interesting stand-ups for almost two decades now, but over here we still know her mostly for her acting in shows such as 24, The Larry Sanders Show and The West Wing. A bit of a coup for the Gilded Balloon. Aug 6-15, Gilded Balloon

Visual art: The Enlightenments

The only visual art component of the EIF, a city-wide exhibition including work by Tacita Dean and Nathan Coley, reflecting the two sides of Edinburgh — as a centre of the Scottish Enlightenment and its darker, mysterious underbelly. Aug 7-Sept 27, various venues

Opera: St Kilda

Intriguing compilation of archive footage, Gaelic folksong, electronic music, actors, singers and acrobats recreate the story of this abandoned Hebridean island, once home to a population that sustained itself on seabirds and their eggs. Probably going to be the oddest opera of the year. Aug 15-17, Festival Theatre

Theatre: The School for Scandal

Cal McCrystal directs Lionel Blair and other funny men and women in a revival, part produced by the Comedians Theatre Company, of Sheridan’s great tale of love and deceit in 18th-century London. Aug 5-31, Pleasance

Kids: Sketch Show 4 Kids: Because I Said So

From the company of Comedy 4 Kids, a new, full-length sketch show promising to be hilarious for kids and adults. Suitable for ages 6 and over. Aug 6-30, Underbelly

Comedy: Edward Aczel — Explains all the World’s Problems . . . and then Solves Them

You will either emerge from an Edward Aczel show refreshed and reminded of the infinite scope of comedy . . . or angry and convinced that a dull marketing manager from Aylesbury has just been wasting your precious time. He’s the kind of low-key, high-risk delight (is our bias showing through yet?) that the Fringe is all about. Aug 7-30, Underbelly

Classical: Judas Maccabeus

Handel’s tub-thumpingly heroic oratorio is a hymn of Hanoverian triumphalism (celebrating the crushing of the Jacobite uprising), loosely disguised as an Old Testament tale. Here it is sung by an all-star cast, including Sarah Connolly, and conducted by the American Baroque expert William Christie. Aug 14, Usher Hall

Theatre: Pythonesque

Roy Smiles, the author of a play about the Goons called Ying Tong, turns his attention to the creation and evolution of the Monty Python team. Expect to see John Cleese’s first audition, as well as a series of Python-inspired sketches. Aug 8-31, E4 Udderbelly’s Pasture

Dance: Gelabert Azzopardi

From Barcelona comes the Spanish dance-theatre troupe with two works choreographed by Cesc Gelabert. Sense Fi “identifies the circles of destiny that lie within us all”, while Conquassabit (set to Handel) takes the dancers on a trip into the middle of a hurricane. So a full blast of energy all round. Aug 21-23, Festival Theatre

Comedy: Kim Noble

Will Die Hilarious, inspiring, indefensible — you can call Noble’s show performance art, you can call it comedy, but you certainly can’t call it bland. Jaws were dropping when this first played at the Soho Theatre in April, but don’t let the shock value take away from Noble’s achievement. A multimedia suicide note that’s like nothing else you’ve ever seen. Aug 25-30, Assembly@George Street

Visual art: Peter Blake: Venice

The first appearance in Scotland of the Pop artist Peter Blake’s Venice Suite, prints inspired by Blake’s visit to the 2007 Venice Biennale, created in his trademark collage style using images culled from postcards, photographs, old books and Old Masters. July 18-Aug 29, except Mons, Edinburgh Printmakers, Union Street

Classical: Fair is Foul, Foul is Fair

The witty Italian avant-garde composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to write this new, Macbeth-inspired piece for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus in a concert in which Sir Charles Mackerras also conducts masterpieces by Haydn. Aug 26, Usher Hall

Theatre: Orphans

Paines Plough comes to Auld Reekie with the latest play by Dennis Kelly, a psychological thriller about the disruption of a couple's quiet life by the arrival of a blood-stained relative. Aug 1 & 8-29, Traverse

Comedy: Ricky Gervais: Science

A low-key gig — well, OK, it’s a 3,000 seater, but at least he’s not playing at a castle this time — for Gervais as he begins his fourth stand-up tour. Aug 25, Playhouse Dance Michael Clark Talk about a homecoming. It’s been 20 years since the Scottish choreographer Michael Clark last appeared at the Edinburgh International Festival. And to mark the special occasion he presents the UK premiere of his newest work, inspired by the 1970s and the music of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. As always with Clark, you can expect lots of gorgeous dancing and plenty of provocative comment. Aug 28-31, Playhouse

Kids: Room on the Broom

Tall Stories, the company behind the hugely successful stage adaptation of The Gruffalo, return with an adaptation of another Julia Donaldson picture book, the story of a witch with a broken broom. Suitable for ages 3 and over. Aug 5-31, Pleasance Courtyard

Theatre: Palace of the End

The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, is the source of this fiercely topical and critically well-received play by the Canadian dramatist Judith Thompson. The ingredients include a female soldier accused of prisoner abuse, a disgraced British UN inspector and a persecuted Iraqi woman. Aug 5 & 8-29, Traverse

Opera: Il ritorno d’Ulisse

Monetverdi’s great Homeric opera retold using the astonishing puppets of the South African company Handspring, the people behind the amazing puppet fights in the National Theatre’s War Horse production in London. The story of Ulysses’ return is reconfigured as the vision of a man dying in a Johannesburg hospital. Aug 23-26, except Mon, King’s Theatre

Jazz: Jack Bruce/Robin Trower/Gary Husband

The songwriter of Cream, a Hendrix-influenced guitar maestro, a hotshot drummer and Marshall amps straining at the leash. Jazz-rock pyrotechnics are possible;
Sunshine of Your Love probable. Aug 5, Queens Hall

Theatre: Morecambe

A salute to one of Britain’s best-loved comedians, who died 25 years ago. Tim Whitnall writes and Bob Golding plays a man whose career began, believe it or not, on Morecambe Pier. Aug 6-31, Rainy Hall, Assembly Hall

Comedy: Laura Solon

The character comedian’s first live show since her Edinburgh debut, which won her the last Perrier Award in 2005. Solon is a dynamite writer and an unerringly interesting performer, as heard in her own Radio 4 series and seen on Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse’s sketch series. Aug 6-30, Assembly@George Street

Theatre: The Girls of Slender Means

Judith Adams adapts Muriel Spark’s 1963 tragi-comic novel: the tale of young women living and loving in a shabby-genteel hostel in the bomb-damaged London of 1945. Aug 6-31, Assembly Rooms

Comedy: Simon Amstell

His previous two Fringe shows have been excitingly bright, tantalisingly close to the full stand-up deal. Now that he’s left Never Mind the Buzzcocks and been working on this show all summer, it’s time for Amstell to fulfil his massive potential as a live comedian. Aug 14-30, The Bongo Club

Kids: Private Peaceful

Michael Morpurgo’s story of a young soldier awaiting a firing squad at dawn, adapted by Scamp Theatre, has been a hit in previous years, and with War Horse doing a roaring trade in the West End, it’s likely to sell quickly. Suitable for ages 8 and over. Aug 6-31, E4 Udderbelly’s Pasture

Theatre: A British Subject

The journalist Don Mackay’s play is based on personal interviews with Mirza Tahir Hussain, who went to Pakistan from Leeds at the age of 18, was sentenced to hang for allegedly murdering a taxi driver, spent seven years on death row and, though released on appeal, was sent back to prison by a sharia court. Aug 5-13, Pleasance Courtyard

Comedy: Sarah Millican

The Geordie comedian won a deserved if.comedy Best Newcomer Award last year. Now, having plied her own post-divorce singleton stories in that show, she looks at the differences between men and women in her new hour, Typical Woman. Aug 5-30, Pleasance Courtyard

Theatre: My Darling Clemmie

Hugh Whitemore, remembered for The Best of Friends and the Alan Turing play Breaking the Code, is the author of a Churchill marital memoir in which he declares that “my most brilliant achievement was to persuade my wife to marry me”. Ronan McCullough re-creates the great man. Aug 6-31, Assembly Rooms

Classical: Bryn Terfel

Enjoy the mighty bass-baritone while you can — he is constantly threatening to retire to his North Wales home. Here he sings a collection of British songs, both classical (John Ireland, Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilter) and folk, with the pianist Malcolm Martineau. Aug 23, Usher Hall

Jazz: Jazz on a Summer’s Day

Last year the sun shone and 20,000 attended. Jazz of the more traditional variety with the RAF big band, the Squadronaires, topping the bill. Aug 2, 1pm, Princes Street Gardens

Comedy: Pajama Men

A new show from the outlandishly skilful American duo, whose previous effort was our favourite of last year, and also won the top prize at the Melbourne Comedy Festival this year. Sketch-comedy theatre performed with a verve that is uncanny. Aug 6-30, Assembly@George Street

Theatre: The Sound of my Voice

This adaptation of Ron Butlin’s novel, about the midlife crisis of a suburban family man and chronic alcoholic, comes from the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. Aug 6-30, Assembly Rooms

Comedy: Alistair McGowan: The One and Many

A welcome return to live stand-up from McGowan, where his genius for impressions is less likely to be undermined by his face’s stubborn refusal to look like anybody else’s. Well, except maybe Richard Madeley’s. He’s also performing a Noël Coward tribute, with Charlotte Page, at the Assembly@George Street every afternoon. Aug 6-31, Assembly@Assembly Hall

Kids: Potted Pirates

After the success last year of the unauthorised Harry Potter experience, Potted Potter (also showing this year), Blue Peter’s Dan and Jeff return with a second comedy show, packing all the pirates you can think of into one farcical hour. Suitable for ages 6 and over. Aug 5-31, Pleasance Courtyard

Opera: Actus Tragicus

J. S. Bach as he’s never been seen before. The chorus of the Stuttgart State Opera sing six sacred cantatas by Bach — but the singers all enact the mundane domesticities of their lonely urban lives inside the tiny spaces of a four-storey “apartment block” set on stage. Sept 4-5, Festival Theatre

Comedy: Rhod Gilbert

After breaking into the big leagues with last year’s should-have-been-award-winning Rhod Gilbert and the Award-Winning Mince Pie, the furious Welsh comic will have to raise the stakes even farther this year. Well, the title is a start: Rhod Gilbert and the Cat that Looked like Nicholas Lyndhurst. Aug 5-31, Pleasance Courtyard

Theatre: Doctor Whom? My Search for Samuel Johnson

David Benson, best remembered for his portrayal of Kenneth Williams and his mischievous account of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, offers his take on the life and work of the great know-it-all who died 300 years ago. Aug 22-31, Assembly Rooms

Jazz: Dick Hyman European All Stars

The urbane pianist, whose career spans 50 years and includes a string of Woody Allen soundtracks, leads a band playing classic prewar jazz . He is back the following night performing on harpsichord. Aug 4, The Hub

Comedy: The Five-Pound Fringe

All right, not so much a show, more a way of charging, with some top acts on board — most notably Robin Ince and the 2008 if.comedy Newcomer nominee Mike Wozniak — plus two dedicated venues, the Tron and the GRV. Find out more from

Visual art: Jane and Louise Wilson

A survey of film, video and photography from the innovative and influential sisters, including a new commission and rarely seen archive material from the artists’ studio. Aug 6-Sept 26 (weekdays only), Talbot Rice Gallery

Jazz: Jacques Loussier Trio

His jazzed-up Bach has swung in and out of fashion, but his recent album celebrating 50 years of Play Bach suggests his time might have come again. This is a rare UK appearance by the 74-year-old. Aug 3, Queens Hall

Theatre: Sea Wall

The Bush Theatre in London brings Edinburgh a tale about family, grief and “things that can’t be undone”, meaning a new play by the prolific and talented Simon Stephens. Aug 6-16,Traverse

Comedy: Shappi Khorsandi: The Distracted Activist

The daughter of an exiled Iranian satirist, Khorsandi is a hugely talented stand-up whose last two Edinburgh shows fell slightly short of excellence. She’s more confident now, to judge by her recent television appearances, so could this be the year that Khorsandi finally breaks through? Aug 5-31, Pleasance Courtyard

[size=150:um0450ss]Edinburgh festival 2009: our critics pick the best

[size=100:um0450ss]Don't listen to the doom-mongers – the Edinburgh festival is adapting in style to changing times. Lyn Gardner introduces this year's lineup, and our critics pick out the highlights

For the 20-odd years I've been going to Edinburgh in August, the nay­sayers have been predicting the festivals' imminent ­demise. (There are at least three of them: the international festival, the Fringe, the Free Fringe.) Their critics say they are too big, too baggy, too highbrow, too lowbrow;
that the ­international festival (EIF) can't ­afford the best of the best;
that the Fringe has been overrun by comedians and exhibitionists. Add to that the ­recession, and last year's ­fiasco on the Fringe – a chaotic new ticketing system – and many thought that 2009 would be the year Edinburgh went pop.

Well, there's no sign of catastrophe. Neither the Fringe nor the EIF would still be in existence if they hadn't proved their ability to adapt to ­changing ­circumstances. Certainly, Edinburgh faces challenges to its ­cultural status from other cities: the Manchester international festival is securing exciting new commissions, while programmes such as Bite at London's Barbican offer a wide range of inter­national work. The EIF has had to up its game.

In his third year of programming. EIF's director, Jonathan Mills, continues to remind us just how dusty things had become under his predecessor, Sir Brian McMaster. This year's programme is an invigorating one, loosely linked to the Scottish Enlightenment and the theme of homecoming. Mills, reflecting the trend towards cross-fertilisation, has programmed work that encourages audiences to look beyond their ­preferred art forms.

As for the Fringe, it seems to be defying the recession: now in its 63rd year, it is still expanding, albeit by the tiniest of margins (there are 10 more shows this year than last). On the Fringe, of course, bigger doesn't always mean better: an ever-expanding festival must also find an ever-expanding ­audience, which could be tricky in the current climate.

Still, I think this year's ­programme shows signs of real quality. The Traverse theatre is mixing new work with proven hits, including Simon Stephens's Sea Wall, David Greig's Mid­summer and Judith ­Thompson's acclaimed triptych, Palace of the End. We also have the British Council's ­biannual showcase of the best of UK ­theatre, including companies such as Subject to Change, Cartoon de Salvo, Uninvited Guests and Sound & Fury. (This takes place over the final week of the Fringe, so if you are only going for a short time, it makes sense to go then – by which time the EIF will also be in full swing.) The Scottish Arts Council is doing something similar, funding ­Scottish artists such as Grid Iron, The Arches, Nic Green and David Leddy.

Of course, audiences may decide that costs are too great this year, and stay away. But so far, the signs are good: ticket sales for the EIF are close to last year's figures (it's too soon to say for the Fringe, whose programme was only announced last week). Meanwhile, the Free Fringe continues to grow, offering 465 free performances;
Forest Fringe, a free mini-festival, is expanding, too.

One thing is for certain: Edinburgh 2009 will be a unique experience, as it always is – quite unlike any festival that came before it, and any yet to come.

Comedy

Rhys Darby

As the wait continues for more UK gigs by Flight of the Conchords, why not console yourself with the next best thing: a standup show by the band's manager, Murray? Darby's hyperactive shtick brings to mind a 3D Loony Toon with a Kiwi accent. Udderbelly's Pasture (08445 458 252), 6-15 August.

Stewart Lee

Last year at Edinburgh, standup's ­eminence slightly grise was honing ­material for his TV vehicle. Now he unleashes an all-new show for the live stage. Its title, If You Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask for One, suggests Lee hasn't mellowed. The Stand (0131-558 7272), 7-30 August (except 17).

Janeane Garofalo

Garofalo is best known in the UK for her roles in The Larry Sanders Show and 24, but she was once an acclaimed standup;
this is her Fringe debut. Gilded ­Balloon (0131-622 6552), 6-15 August.

Hans Teeuwen

Lounge singer, sexual provocateur, sock puppeteer, stage anarchist: there's no one quite like Hans Teeuwen. If getting a gig in a big purple cow counts as a move up, well, it's not before time for this extraordinary, discomfiting Dutch stand-up. Udderbelly's Pasture (08445 458252), 13, 15, 26-28 August.

Kim Noble

Noble returns with another genre-­busting, mind-boggling concoction: a multimedia suicide note exploring ­failure and the desire for a legacy. ­Critics have loved it. Assembly Rooms (0131-623 3030), 25-30 August.

Laura Solon

An out-of-nowhere winner of the Perrier award in 2005, for her mid-afternoon performances in an obscure boozer at the foot of Arthur's Seat, Solon returns with a multi-character comedy hour in the manner of her hit Radio 4 sketch show, Talking and Not Talking. Assembly Rooms (0131-623 3030), 6-30 August. ...

[size=133:13nn7cy8]Observations: A chance for Rhys Darby's growing fanbase to see the man behind Murray

By Julian Hall

Friday, 24 July 2009
[size=100:13nn7cy8]
Itdoesn't seem that long ago since, crammed into one of the smallest, stuffiest rooms of The Pleasance venue in Edinburgh, I watched a slightly nerdy-looking, curly-mopped comedian act out an entire comedy play using mime and sound effects.

Rhys Darby's quirky show, which took an 'A' for effort if nothing else, was also being watched by the then Fringe darlings, and fellow Kiwis, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, aka musical comedy act Flight of the Conchords. Little did I know then that these men would subsequently fuse to create HBO's cult TV hit of the same name and that Darby would become a darling of the comedy world thanks to his portrayal as the hapless yet lovable fusspot Murray, the Conchords' manager.

Since the series started in 2007, Darby, an ex-soldier, has also found good fortune playing opposite Jim Carrey in Yes Man, enjoying an endorsement from Carrey who likened him to Peter Sellers, and had the dubious honour of being enlisted into Richard Curtis' barmy army for The Boat That Rocked.

His live shows promise a mix of physical comedy, quirky observations and storytelling and an opportunity for Darby's growing fanbase to see the man behind Murray – and to see if it really was more than national pride that saw his stand-up DVD go platinum back home in his native New Zealand.

Rhys Darby 'Live In London' is at Bloomsbury Theatre, 27, 28, 30, 31 July and 1 August;
and at Shepherd's Bush Empire, 29 July. In Edinburgh he plays the Udderbelly from 6 to 15 August at 10pm
