It’s the final weekend of the Edinburgh Fringe! Maybe you’ve had a long week at work, maybe you’re through for the weekend. A lot of our top 10 shows sold out long ago, and some (not all!) of the Foster’s Award nominees’ shows have been snapped up… so what to see? We’ve put together a cracker of a schedule of shows that you may still get tickets for if you’re quick! (Tickets still available when this article was published)

20:15 (1h) Angela Barnes: Come As You Are at Pleasance Courtyard, £11
