Description
Meet the staff of Tartan Treasures, a tourist-trap gift shop on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile selling Jimmy Hats, Highland cows and knock-off wands. They’re all just trying to get by while waiting for life to truly begin. But when the staff find themselves at the centre of online controversy their problems become bigger than their little store can handle. Harris, Orla, Kayley, Arran and Millie must band together to keep both the shop and themselves above water. Tartan Tat is a new Scottish comedy from Shark Bait Theatre about community, camaraderie and novelty key rings.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

One of the funniest shows I've seen this Fringe. Brillantly 'goes there' with its sometimes darkly comic sense of humour. 4 1/2 stars!!! (Love you Lex)

A perfect balance between comedy and hitting you in the feels, Tartan Tat has it all. A well selected cast of young people is perfect for the telling of this excellent show. Highly recommend.

Witty script (I think my favorite line was “why would you wear that on the bus?” You’ll see.) Tight, sharp ensemble work that evokes joy and humor effortlessly. I absolutely adored this production.

A really well written and acutely observed play. Multiple current political and non-political themes incorporated into a tight script. Laugh out loud funny. See it and like me give it 5 stars.
James Gordon 25 days ago
A funny, fleet-footed piece of new writing, touching on serious issues of the moment without ever becoming heavy, and brilliantly performed by a team with obvious rapport, who create vivid and believable characters. All of this, just a stone's throw from numerous gift shops (to which, of course, the one depicted in this play bears not the slightest resemblance...)

Funny, relevant and constantly engaging. An excellent show performed by a very talented cast in a well-timed delivery with some banger songs in between the scenes. The team knocked it out of the park. Do not miss! 5*

We chose this play after being handed a flyer on the Royal Mile and thinking it sounded like a good Scottish play to take in. What a fantastic choice it turned out to be. Brilliantly written and relevant script with a clever and humorous view of current issues, but the most impressive thing was the way the cast interacted with each to deliver a brilliantly comedic performance. Timing is key in comedy and this young group have just got it! This is a must see for any Fringe goer!

Five stars! Fantastic show. Funny, witty, political and current. What more can you ask for from a Fringe show?
Archie Andrews 32 days ago
Fantastic and always entertaining! All the roles are excellently preformed and feel distinct while complimenting and bouncing off each other brilliantly. Lex Joyce and Isla Campbell tell and comment on cancel culture and Edinburgh gentrification in a lighthearted way that manages to hit home where it counts, relating to the struggles of young people living in today. Overall a brill bit of theatre and one to see this fringe!!

It is a funny and thought-provoking show set in a tartan tat shop, although the setting isn't really the focus. The story is about how the ensemble reacts to being shunted into the social media limelight for a throwaway comment that is misconstrued and then exploited.
A fun filled jaunt with several belly laughs that will definitely appeal to locals and visitors alike!
