The Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How much does it cost to take a show to the biggest open Arts Festival in the World?

I feel a bit click-bait about this, but if you know me, you’ll know I’ve never been as commercial as I should be. I’ve also only recently realised that I’m actually very experienced when it comes to the Edinburgh Festival having been there most years since 1992. So, how much does it cost? The short answer is it can be hugely expensive. This year, 2022, ironically, post-lockdown, perhaps more than most! Accommodation, particularly, has rocketed. But it doesn’t have to be. If you are an artist reading this, the first question you need to ask yourself is — WHY do Edinburgh? We all kinda know the answer. Probably everyone you’ve ever seen in comedy on British TV was ‘discovered’ in Edinburgh. The whole theatre and TV industry decamps to Scotland for the festival in August. But don’t let the idea of fame and fortune be your only motivation. It’s a sobering fact that the average audience in the Fringe is four. Yep, four people. I’ve been to productions where I’m the only person in the audience! <a href="https://medium.com/@nickhennegan/the-edinburgh-festival-fringe-987ee8ecdea0">Visit Now</a>
