The ukulele isn't just the domain of the uber twee or the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. With more and more acts embracing the uke, it's only natural that this has seeped into Fringe shows. Here are our pick of five Fringe shows featuring ukuleles that you shouldn't miss.

Reformed Whores: Grand Old Cuntry
Can you imagine a scenario where Flight of the Conchords and Dolly Parton had a child together? If so, then you're reasonably close to the vibe when Katy Frame and Marie Cecile Anderson take to the stage for their accordion and uke-infused hoedown.
Reformed Whores: Grand Old Cuntry, Sweet, Grassmarket, 4–27 Aug, 9.50pm, £7 (£5).

Ukulele Death Squad
Talented Aussie duo Benjamin Roberts and Julian Ferguson do a decent job at reinventing the uke by playing everything from folk to flamenco in frenetic and death-defying style.
Ukulele Death Squad, Leith Depot, Leith Walk, 9 & 10, 13 Aug, 9pm, £6 (£5).

Charlie Dore with Julian Littman
The ukulele is just one of the stringed instruments wielded here by Steeleye Span's Littman, and Dore whose tunes have been covered by the likes of George Harrison and Celine Dion.
Charlie Dore with Julian Littman, Acoustic Music Centre @ UCC, Royal Terrace, 16 & 17 Aug, 5.30pm, £13 (£11).
