Here's a look at some of the shows this July at the 2017 Hamilton Fringe Festival.

With more than 300 performances in 11 days at the 2017 Hamilton Fringe Festival, there's something for everyone.

Starting July 20th the festival delivers a collection of musical, dance, magic, drama and comedy shows. No ticket costs more than $10 at the door.

The options are plenty. How about a being trapped in an unfinished diner under a toxic downpour fighting over a first class ticket to a new habitable planet? A little too far out? Maybe an interactive art installation that confronts tensions in Hamilton over gentrification and homelessness, then? And there's a tribute to comedian Gilda Radner. And an improv online dating show — either a horror or comedy depending on your Tinder/Plenty of Fish stories.

The party starts Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Alexander Centre and will include short performances by Hamiltonians Marcelo Puente, Kojo "Easy" Damptey and more.
