Forth on the Fringe made a spectacular return on 5th and 6th August with lots of talented acts taking to the stage, ranging from comedy to acrobatics and everything in between. Hosted by our very own Boogie and Arlene, it was certainly a weekend to remember!

Find out more about the Forth on the Fringe shows here.

To celebrate the return of Forth on the Fringe 2022, we've gathered up our favourite moments from the shows, including performance photos and backstage videos.

Boogie started the first night off with a backstage tour

In case you ever wondered what it looks like behind the scenes at Forth on the Fringe.

He showed us even more of what went on backstage the following day, from helping Fred MacAulay write his set to showing us the way to the stage.

We played a game of 'You Laugh You Lose'

As well as having a few comedy sets throughout the night, the laughs continued backstage with Boogie, Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales.

It was Jimeóin versus Arlene in the next round...

Arlene her hand at acrobatics

Acrobatics group Railed might be recruiting Arlene after she tried a stunt with them backstage.

Or maybe she'll join Cirque Berserk who she had a good stretch with.

Boogie had a rap battle with Chris Turner

Rapping all about his hairstyle, Boogie gave freestyle rapping his best shot!

Australian comedian Reuben Kaye chatted to Arlene about being late to the show
