Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows by Alex Salmond and Jeremy Corbyn have completely sold out.

The former SNP leader and current Labour leader will be appearing separately at the festival in August.

Salmond, who lost his seat as an MP for Gordon in June, has sold out a run of 15 consecutive nights for his one-man-show Alex Salmond Unleashed.

His two-week run will last from August 13 until August 27.

The show has been described as "a festival of fun, friends and freedom" with fans invited to join Salmond and friends for "an afternoon of chat, stories, a little bit of music and lots of fun."

The event, to be held at the Assembly Rooms, is a billed as a "bit of light-hearted banter and a few behind the scenes revelations about his time in power".

With all of the 5250 tickets now sold, Salmond is now looking at ways of increasing the number of people in the 350-capacity venue.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is currently riding on the crest of a wave after unexpected gains in the general election result cancelled out Theresa May's majority at Westminster.

He has also made high-profile appearances at recent events, including speaking in front of a crowd of thousands from the main stage at this summer's Glastonbury festival.

In his one-day Edinburgh event, called In Conversation with... Jeremy Corbyn, he will be speak to comedian and broadcaster Susan Morrison about what makes him tick and how he deals with adversity.

He will also explain why he thinks the country, and its politics, needs to be transformed.

Corbyn will be appearing at the New Town Theatre on August 27.

Some tickets may become available from the venues closer to the performance dates.
