One of the 2023 Fringe's best stories. A mixed bill show run every day by two of the late comic's mates, it's had queues round the block, raised loads for Gareth's young family, and many memorable moments as the Fringe stars pay tribute.


This year the biggest stars of the UK stand-up circuit, including Iain Stirling, John Robins, Mark Simmons, Jo Caulfield and Nick Helm, return to their roots in a mixed-bill show, to celebrate the life of comedian Gareth Richards. A unique opportunity to see the funniest stand-ups in the country do what they do best. Raise your glasses, as they raise the roof, to a hugely loved, and horribly missed, friend and colleague, Mr Gareth Richards. A different bill every day with 100% of audience donations going to Gareth's young family.

Edinburgh 2023: pick of the programme - Pay What You Can

Free Fringe/pay-what-you-can shows typically mean that the acts don't have to pay a huge venue registration fee which makes it a lot more achievable to fund an Edinburgh run.
