This year we are performing at the Pleasance. This is a new venue for us but it's easy to find. The Pleasance one of the biggest and best theater groups at the festival. It is a giant space with dozens of theaters inside. The Beside Theater is next to the courtyard. The Pleasance is named after the road it's on which has the same name. We have compiled directions and information about finding us from different parts of Edinburgh. You can also hit the map button bellow. This will take you right to the map page of the Pleasance website.
There are T Shirts, Magic Tricks, CDs, and DVDs available after the show. We will be around to sign autographs and take photos. Stop by and say hi.
It only takes a few minutes to walk to the courtyard. Get there early for the best seats.
The Pleasance Courtyard is easy to get to by bus. Each of these busses runs along Nicholson Street and the North Bridge. From there it's a three minute walk to the theater.
