Stand-up comedy fans will be treated to a performance from Jayde Adams, creator of Lee Nelson, while Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee, Ahir Shah, will also be returning to host the ever popular Pick of the Fringe showcase.

Local music promoters Ears Peeled will also be hosting a day of live music headlined by the Island’s very own Plastic Mermaids and Coach Party.

With around 150 shows expected to take part, new additions to the programme will be added regularly online.
