Edinburgh Fringe - Statistics
The Team at Plan My Fringe are always interested in the facts and figures behind the Edinburgh Fringe, and we obviously have too much time on our hands. We have provided these stats, graphs and maps because we can! We hope you also find them interesting.
The totals currently only show information based on the 2022 shows that have been released so far. As soon as more shows are released, the stats will automatically be updated.
The shows and performance total will regularly change during the Fringe as shows and performances get added or cancelled.
More stats and graphs will be added as we think of them.

How many shows could you have possibly seen at the 2019 Fringe?
The Plan My Fringe algorithm says the maximum number of different shows that could possibly have be seen during the 25 days of the 2019 Fringe was 321 shows. That averages 12.84 shows a day! If you don't believe us, you can find the proof here.
Due to the cancelled 2020 Fringe and reduced 2021 Fringe, these numbers weren't beaten in these years.
As soon as the full show list is released for 2022, we will run the algorithm to see if we can beat the 2019 total!
