  • How to Produce an Edinburgh Fringe show

    Ian Fox's guide to producing a show at the Edinburgh Fringe and more....

    At the end of the Fringe Festival in 2010 I started compiling articles to try to help new comers to the Edinburgh Fringe produce a show successfully, and possibly to help those that have produced shows unsuccessfully.

    These articles are based on 9 years experience of the Edinburgh Fringe. During which time as well as performing in shows and receiving “critical acclaim” for being “funny, fascinating and engaging” and “Charming, Intelligent and above all incredibly funny”. I’ve also been responsible for booking the venue and ordering flyers.

    On Boxing Day 2010 the total number of views reached 3000, and the current number of views can be seen on the left side of the page.
