This exciting event offers 40 different shows with over 200 performances and is a mini and more manageable version of the mighty world famous Edinburgh Fringe. It’s cheaper too with tickets priced at around a third cheaper than the Edinburgh shows.

All productions are in English or Czech or are non-verbal, and they are programmed so that you can see up to 5 shows a day or dip in and out as you please. Shows take place from the afternoon to late evening, most last for an hour or so with time between to zip from venue to venue and grab a bite to eat, or even pop back to your hotel to freshen up.

’Hot tickets’ this year include Live Theatre, Newcastle’s award winning Playing with my Heart, the cream of Amsterdam Fringe and the Celtic musings of songbirds Andi Neate and Flanna Sheridan. Gail Whitmore, The Human Jukebox with her repertoire of over 1000 songs is already creating quite a buzz! There are over 40 shows to choose from at the Prague Fringe Festival. Quirkiness, originality and quality are the order of the day and there is most definitely something for everyone!
