1,862,364 people signed a petition against Donald J Trump making a state visit to the UK, so he's doing a Fringe show instead. Trumpageddon enjoyed a sell-out edfringe run when The Donald was a mere candidate and now he returns as leader of the free world. Immerse yourself in Trump's world vision before he blows it to kingdom come. Created by Simon Jay and directed by Olivier nominee Dan Clarkson, this absurdist satire is as demented, hysterical and disturbed as the man himself. 'Remarkable satiric performance' **** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). 'Provokes both fits of laughter and furious debate' **** (List). www.trumpageddon.uk

How Trump invaded the Fringe

Well, where else would you find Donald Trump in Edinburgh? Located in the heart of the city, the Bruntsfield Links is one of the oldest golf courses in the world, dating back to at least the time of James IV.
