The Edinburgh Fringe, the world's biggest mixed arts festival, is over for another year.  Here at FringeGuru, we reviewed over 200 separate shows across the 4-week festival... and we found some inspiring highlights from well-known and debut companies alike.  We'll do it all over again in 2012!

The Directors of Fringe Guru Ltd would like to thank our reviewers Alice de Cent, Carmel Doohan, Mathilda Gregory, Rach Hartley-Davison, Sarah Hill, Kirsty Leckie-Palmer, Madeleine Mason, Ellen Macpherson, Eve Nicol, Hannah van den Burgh, Miriam Vaswani, Liv Watson and Lee Zhao; our sub-editors and editors Jennifer Mills and Craig Thomson; our friends at Broadway Baby, the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast, Edinburgh Spotlight, Fest, Festival Previews, FringeReview, Hairline, ThreeWeeks and What's On Stage; Neil MacKinnon and everyone at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society; the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival and the Press Offices of all the Fringe venues for their invaluable assistance during 2011.

We've picked nine of our favourite shows from the Edinburgh Fringe 2011 for our annual Editors' Choice Awards.  Find out more about our choices >>
