The Edinburgh Festival Fringe started in 1947 as a response to the Edinburgh International Festival. It wasn't until 1974 that the Fringe got bigger. These days the EIF is soundly outnumbered and the ability to see both Bertolt Brechta and then Basil Brush in one day is rather the point.

Today’s Creative Scotland announcement signals optimism for the arts in Scotland. Particularly welcome is the news that 141 organisations will receive multi-year funding for the first time, allowing even more creatives the long-terms stability needed to thrive in the industry.

“People in Scotland have a queer idea of the arts. They think you can be an artist in your spare time, though nobody expects you to be a spare-time dustman, engineer, lawyer or brain surgeon.” —Alasdair Gray, LANARK (Book I, Ch. 20: “Employers”) Not just Scotland: 👇

Back in 1997, their was a (thankfully) short lived Wallace and Gromit stage show, called a Grand Night Out. Opening at the Peacock Theatre London in November 97, it thankfully didn't last long. Safe for work (it's Wallace and Gromit), but also terrible.

No one is moving the historic, world famous international arts showcase known as The Edinburgh Fringe just because it's a bit of a bother to travel up to Scotland from London. Though do recall that The Camden Fringe is a thing ( @camdenfringe.bsky.social ).

Artist's coming to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year - registration is open via @edfringe.bsky.social . Flyer printers (like TheFringeShop) tend to offer free delivery to venues if you book and plan ahead - it also tends to be cheaper that way. So get that done as soon as you can.

I Am Star Trek came to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2001. (It debuted at Wisconsin's Broom Street Theatre in 1995). A biography of sorts, it focused on the life of #StarTrek creator Gene Rodenberry, and featured nine actors playing over 50 characters.

Advert from the 1984 Edinburgh Festival Fringe Programme for Radio Forth, which at the time, ran a split service so it could run Festival City Radio, specifically for the Festival. Not even sure how you'd do such a thing today. Radio Forth is still around, though it's now part of Bauer Media.

Just a quick reminder that this exists and if you're planning on working the Edinburgh Fringe it's well worth creating a Fringe Connect account as they record these sessions, and the account will let you access those.
