Britain’s most loveable fox is hitting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with his debut show Unleashed, just for those aged 16+.

Expect Basil Brush’s trademark anarchy as he takes on the world with everything from Love Island to Westminster getting a comic Brushing. With nightly guests, this is going to be one hell of a debut.

This fluffy-tailed fella is known across the UK. Born in 1962, Basil had his own TV show at the young age of 6 (or 34 in human years) and entertained the masses up until 1984. After a well-deserved break, Basil relaunched the show in 2002 to great acclaim where it ran for a further five years.

Since then he has appeared in some the UK’s best loved programmes including The Chase, Bruce Forsyth’s The Generation Game, The Weakest Link, Celebrity Juice, The Last Leg and made a very special appearance as Dobby in French & Saunders sketch Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azerbaijan for Comic Relief.

Basil has had the privilege of meeting some of the most famous names around the world including ABBA and Her Majesty the Queen.
