[1] In 2010, the company was resurrected and formally established as a means of taking Chilcott's production of Patrick Marber's Dealer's Choice to the Edinburgh Fringe.
The Edinburgh show was selected by the National Student Drama Festival to be performed in Scarborough in 2011, and was exceptionally well-received there, receiving a commendation ensemble acting.
Combining the choreography and pace crafted in Dealer's Choice with Coward's text proved popular with audiences, and Hay Fever became the first of DugOut's shows to be awarded five stars.
[citation needed] It was performed in the Loft at the Zoo Roxy, and was relatively well-received, with Chilcott's setting and eye for detail, the use of music, and both Quartey's Othello and Tom Black's Iago receiving praise from reviewers.
After a successful three night run in The Hi-Fi Club, Bouncers Remix was chosen to be one of DugOut's two shows at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe, being performed in the Sanctuary at the Zoo Roxy throughout August 2011.
DugOut's production of Harold Pinter's 1958 play combined the company's signature styles of movement and scene changes with first-time director Harry Williams' eye for dialogue.
It was revealed in January 2012 that the play, devised by the cast, would be called Inheritance Blues and star Tom Black, Will Brown, Luke Murphy, Henry Perryment, Ed Smith and Harry Williams, with Chilcott returning as director.

After a well-received run at the stage@leeds, Cover transferred to C Nova for the Edinburgh Fringe, with Tom Black replacing Sam Ripman in the cast.
[14][15] In November 2012, DugOut began the devising process for their third new work by attending Unlimited Theatre's Uninspire workshop at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
[24] Lizzie Edmonds of Fringe Review said DugOut possess 'a plethora of directorial talent' and 'don't just man the doors of the young Leeds theatre scene.
