The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a month-long performing arts festival held each August in Scotland’s capital city. Today, nearly 4,000 shows are presented, with artists traveling from across the globe.

Edinburgh has served as an early platform for some of the most celebrated contemporary works, including Baby Reindeer, Fleabag, Flight of the Conchords, Six the Musical, and the early performances of Mr. Bean. 

Throughout the festival, the show will be seen by industry professionals from the UK and the United States, including producers, presenters, and press. Many attend Fringe specifically to identify work for transfer to London’s West End, New York stages, and television development.
