Itvx will stream comedy shows live from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August, and here are the details.
The Edinburgh Fringe is one of the greatest arts festivals in the world. Each year in August, artists, comedians, writers, performers, musicians and everybody inbetween descend on the Royal Mile to sell their shows to passing punters.
Television series like Phoebe Waller Bridge’s Fleabag and Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer, which is quickly becoming one of the most popular shows on Netflix, began life as Edinburgh Fringe shows. In 2004, director Annie Griffin made the micro budget dark comedy Festival. Set and filmed at the Fringe, it starred Stephen Mangan as an arrogant comedian.
Streaming platform Itvx has commissioned four hour-long episodes of Itvx Presents: Edinburgh Fringe Live, which will broadcast live from the arts festival. Each show will focus on specially curated compilation shows in which performers will present highlights from their festival shows.

Lee Mack poked fun at Prince Edward during his opening monologue at the Royal Variety Performance.
The stand-up comic hosted the annual celebration at the Royal Albert Hall, which was broadcast on Tuesday (20 December) and attended by the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
In his opening speech, Mack welcomed the audience to the show, before addressing Edward, who is the youngest of Queen Elizabeth II’s children.
“I’ve got three kids,” he told the audience. “The youngest is the naughtiest. It’s always the youngest that’s the trickiest, isn’t it?
“No disrespect,” he added, while the camera cut to a laughing Edward and wife Sophie Windsor.
“There goes the knighthood,” Mack added. “Wouldn’t work for me, anyway. Sir Lee – just sounds like I’m in a bad mood.”
The 2022 Royal Variety Performance is the first to be held since the death of the Queen in September.

Every year, there comes a point when the UK comedy industry suddenly becomes abuzz with whispers. Word gets about that the producers of Mock the Week are in town. They’re scouting out stand-up shows for new talent – and you could be next. “Everyone’s going, ‘You know they’re looking’,” comedian Maisie Adam tells me. “You suddenly ended up going to every gig feeling like you’re in those early episodes of X Factor, queuing up outside.”
When it was announced in August that the BBC was canning Mock the Week after 17 years, in order to “create room for new shows”, online discourse exploded. People questioned what the show ending in its current format (the team are optimistic it’ll find a home elsewhere) meant for the BBC, for the panel show format and for satire as a whole. But for comedians, the end of Mock the Week represented...
