Pleasance Dome

Known throughout the year as Potterrow to delirious and drunken students of the University of Edinburgh, this location spends a great chunk of the year as an outdoor-indoor studying paradise, a cheap place to grab lunch and the home to The Big Cheese (we'll talk about that later - unless you're into S Club and B*witched, it's probably not your cup of tea). Because of all the above, it gets rather disorientating when Pleasance pop along annually and shake things up for the festival. 

The venue is renamed Pleasance Dome, and becomes a festival hotspot which comprises 5 venues all under one concave roof. Those heading to Pleasance Dome during the Fringe can expect to see some pretty sensational comedy and theatre. Just make sure you've got the wrong place, and you're not supposed to be down at Pleasance Courtyard. We've all there, don't worry. Run! You're going to miss your entirely improvised/shitfaced/one man/silent-movie inspired slo-mo musical all about Tina Turner!
