The 10 most eye catching show names at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Baby Mama: One Woman's Quest to Give Her Child to Gay People

Greenside @ Infirmary Street (Venue 236), 4 to 12 August

No, this isn't the Tima Fey/Amy Poehlr rom-com. Instead, it's about a mother's adoption journey from the night of conception to placing the child with a gay couple, while still living her life – which includes the occasional orgy. It will be a night of intimate and frank storytelling about sexuality and parenthood.

Clitorosity, Cocktastrophes and Other Things You Can't Get Your Mouth Around

theSpace @ Surgeons Hall (Venue 53), 4 to 12 August (except 6)

Sydney Theatre School are back at the Fringe after last year's equally-intriguingly titled Poo Shame, Vagina Curiosity and Other Things That Won't Kill You. The company offer up a unique version of "the birds and the bees" talk, which covers everything from body curiosity and mystery stains, and they'll share their sexual catastrophes. It's rated 18 so maybe don't see this one with mum and dad.

Assisted Suicide the Musical

Assembly Rooms (Venue 20), 22 to 26 August

It may not be the cheeriest subject to make a song and dance about, but that's exactly what disability rights activist and actor Liz Carr has done. Carr, who has appeared in Silent Witness and suffers from a rare condition called arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, calls it a 'TED talk with showtunes as she presents her perspective on the 'right to die' argument.

Bin Laden: The One Man Show

C venues – C (Venue 34), 2 to 28 August (except 15)

After a tour of the US, Knaive Theatre return to the fringe with its show about the world's most notorious terrorist. The show was in Edinburgh in 2013, but it's safe to say quite a lot has happened since, so it may be worth revisiting this show for a different perspective which is bound to get you talking.

£¥€$

Upper Church @ Summerhall (Venue 26), 4 to 27 August (except 7, 14, 21)

Can you figure out how to pronounce this grawlix (a string of symbols together to form a word)? Belgian company Ontroerend Goed bring their show, Lies, to Edinburgh after a run in Plymouth. It's an interactive experience which sees the audience split into groups and trade real money on fictitious financial markets. It sounds like great fun, if you manage to turn a profit…

Goldilock, Stock and Three Smoking Bears

ZOO (Venue 124), 4 to 20 August (except 14)

We're sure you're familiar with the stories of Goldilocks and the three bears, and you probably know Guy Ritchie's 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Couldn't be more different, right? Think again. The Wardrobe Theatre merge these two vastly different stories in this imaginative play.

Nerdf*cker

Sweet Grassmarket (Venue 18), 3 to 27 August (except 14 and 21)

Cameryn Moore has a thing for nerds, a self-confessed 'geek-for-geeks'. In this one-woman show centered around a game of chess, she tells you why and how far she'd go to get with them.

War of the Sperms

Greenside @ Infirmary Street (Venue 236), 4 to 19 August (except 6 and 13)

Nine sperms at training school learn everything they need to know about entering 'The Great Sperm Race' where there is only one egg, and one winner. It's the follow up to Irstead Theatre's It’s a Sperm’s Life and promises to be a hilarious biology lesson with a twist.
