The world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, is known for launching unknown plays, musicals, individual actors and comedians from obscurity to international acclaim. The USC School of Dramatic Arts (SDA) has a storied history at the Edinburgh Fringe. The cast and crew are all current students from Dramatic Arts, as well as from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Just weeks before opening in Edinburgh, Magidoff’s show was featured in The Guardian’s roundup of essential comedy at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe. “The Edinburgh Fringe has long been part of USC’s history, and this new generation of artists is building on that legacy,” says Roxworthy.
