Edinburgh Venues

Underbelly was established to operate the Underbelly venue in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since then the venue has grown to encompass the Baby Belly in the caves on Niddry Street and in 2006, the UdderBELLY and Reid Hall, both on Bristo Square. In 2007 we added 10 nights of Silent Disco in the amazing McEwan Hall as well as site specifics works in George Square. For  2008 Fringe, we will operate four venues incorporating 13 performance spaces ranging in size from 50 to 400 seats, with four bars. Also new in 2008 Underbelly will be grazing in Appleton tower with 1000 people partying the night away in Silent Disco.

Underbelly Promotions, Productions and Management

In addition to our Edinburgh venues, Underbelly established in 2006 a promotions, productions and management subsidiary, named Underbelly Promotions to promote comedy acts, represent artists, and produce and manage theatre and comedy productions and tours. In 2005, Underbelly co-produced the tour of Jackson's Way, the Perrier Award-winning show from Will Adamsdale.

Udderbelly

Finally, our exciting unique touring venue, Udderbelly, an innovative 400 seat temporary structure, is available for hire for corporate events, music and comedy festivals and tours.

Brighton Fringe venue

Underbelly first visited the Brighton Fringe Festival in 2007 with the Udderbelly making a huge impact and have enjoyed a triumphant return in 2008. Udderbelly's Pasture is located on the Old Steine lawns and incorporates our new 200 seat venue Udder Place, a giant purple Inflatable Dome.
