At the Fringe is The List's podcast from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world, as it takes over the city for the month of August. Hosted by theatre editor and critic Gareth K Vile, we welcome guest performers, directors and writers into The List's attic recording studio to talk theatre and share insider tips of what's going on at the Fringe.

At the Fringe # 8 | Absurdist theatre from Turkey and Northern England
Gareth K Vile takes a trip to the French side At the Fringe, via a Turkish production of an absurdist classic The Empire Builders showing at Institut Français d'Écosse. He is then visited by The List's Research Manager Rowena McIntosh for a selection of top tips on our Fringe tour, before slipping into a late night mode for a chat about the final resting place of flying rats, with Where Do All the Dead Pigeons Go?, which may, or may not, be on the far side of the moon with a certain Middlesbrough football legend.
