Fringe Benefits Edinburgh

Di: Molly Merwin
  • Riassunto

  • For three weeks every August, the Fringe Festival practically takes over Edinburgh, Scotland. The Fringe brings together thousands of artists in thousands of shows, selling millions of tickets. It also brings the promise of career-defining experience and exposure but at great risk to the artists putting on the shows. Fringe Benefits Edinburgh is a unique behind-the-scenes look at the Fringe Festival through the experiences of first-time and seasoned performers, producers, venue directors, political leaders, organisers, and local residents. This is a story about dreams, ambitions, and reality colliding.

  • Bonus Episode: Sarah Verghese of Nouveau Riche
    Feb 22 2024

    This is the first Bonus Episode of Fringe Benefits Edinburgh with Sarah Verghese of Nouveau Riche and Sarah Verghese Productions.

    Molly had so many insightful and interesting conversations in the making of Fringe Benefits Edinburgh, often going beyond the Fringe. She had to leave so much of it on the editing floor, or rather, a computer hard drive, during the series. So she decided to release Bonus Episodes.

    This is the extended interview Molly had with Sarah, talking about theatre, how it's easy to make it accessible, and more. Some of this you have heard before, but much of it will be brand new to listeners.

    Jan 25 2024

    With The Fringe, the story doesn’t end at the last curtain call. Where does it leave artists in terms of their work, bank accounts, and their health? How do you celebrate and justify one of the most draining months of your life and the months or years leading up to it? For the last regular episode, Molly talks to Hannah and Niamh as they reflect on their Fringe experience. We also explore the repercussions of a changing world on the Fringe.

    Jan 18 2024

    Through Niamh, Hannah, and everyone we have spoken to, we have established Fringe is hard even if everything lines up perfectly, and especially when it doesn’t. But what if you are disabled in a city of hills? Or you have to deal with racism on top of putting on a daily show. What is the Fringe like for you? In the penultimate episode, we are going to hear from two artists facing those challenges and what they are doing to meet them.
