'(Le) PAIN brilliantly expresses the pressure of generational expectations and a small-village mindset... using the metaphor of bread to capture the evolution of personhood, from ingredient to the dough and finally to hot-steaming wonder' **** (Skinny). This five-star hit show is about breadmaking, physical heroics, growing up queer in a boulangerie in the south of France, endings and new beginnings and involves circus, dance, storytelling, BĂ©arnaise folklore, video, karaoke and laughter. 'Very funny' **** (Guardian). 'A thrilling collage' **** (Scotsman).

We can't make it to Edinburgh ourselves this year - BUT FEAR NOT! We've picked out 50 - yes, fifty - of the offbeat, less mainstream offerings from this years Edinburgh Fringe line-up.

Edinburgh preview: (Le) Pain

As the smell of baking bread wafts around the audience, Jean-Daniel (JD) Broussé's first solo show offers a similar tantalising temptation.
