Dizzee Rascal and Flawless feature in Fringe line-up
11th June 2010
Rapper Dizzee Rascal, Britain's Got Talent dance troupe Flawless and model Abi Titmuss are among the acts unveiled in this year's Edinburgh Fringe programme.
The line-up features a record 2,453 shows, a 17% increase on last year.
The 64th annual Festival Fringe, which runs from 6 to 30 August, involves 21,148 performers.
The world's largest arts festival generates about £75m for the Edinburgh and Scottish economy.
Dizzee Rascal will be playing at the Corn Exchange as part of the Edge Festival, while Flawless will be performing at the Underbelly.
Abi Titmuss stars as a gym instructor "attempting to kick an unruly bunch of amateur Rugby League players into touch" in Up 'N' Under, which will be performed at Assembly @ George.
I look forward to kicking off what is set to be the biggest and most exciting Fringe to date
