Star Wars: The Next Generation is a free, 60-minute solo stand-up and sci-fi comedy show at Binkies Lounge during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, performed by Dan Willis as part of PBH's Free Fringe. Willis turns his attention to the most successful franchise in film history after previous shows on Ferris Bueller, The Walking Dead and Cobra Kai. Having watched every Star Wars movie during the year of release, he decided this is the year to introduce his 12-year-old daughter to the Force — and the show explores whether she finds it as exciting as he did. For ages 18 and above.
Why see this show?
A free Fringe show built on one father's attempt to share his love of Star Wars with his 12-year-old daughter — and the unpredictable results. Dan Willis takes a familiar franchise and makes it very personal.
