The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is over for another year which means one thing, Awards time! So before the Fringe fades completely from memory we thought that it's about we time we announced the nominees for this years DarkChat Awards?
So, after much deliberation the 15th DARKCHAT nominations have just been announced. From 17 categories 19 shows are featured and a total of 74 nominations. The most nominated show this year comes courtesy of the Free Fringe, and is "John Robertson's The Human Hurricane" . The results will be revealed on a live Twitter/X event later this month.
