    You’ve done Edinburgh, what next?
    Sep 12 2022
    In this second edition recorded at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, we look at what Edinburgh Fringe performers and producers should do next.

    If your aim in performing and producing at the Fringe this year was to find an audience, make industry connections and unlock future opportunities, what should you be doing in September to build on the momentum you generated during August?

    When should you start planning your next Edinburgh project? And what other fringe festivals are worth checking out?

    We surveyed Fringe performers, producers and promoters to put together a five-point plan for what you should do next.

    Plus we get some additional insights from…
    Charles Pamment, Artistic Director of theSpace
    Ines Wurth, producer with Ines Wurth Presents
    Richard Stamp, co-founder of Fringe Guru and reviewer with The Wee Review

    Fixing the Edinburgh Festival
    Aug 26 2022
    In the first of three editions recorded at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival, we consider the key challenges facing the Edinburgh Fringe community. What have been the key talking points at the Festival this month? What are the most pressing issues? What are possible solutions?
    ThreeWeeks Edinburgh Co-Editor Chris Cooke sat down at theSpace @ Surgeons Hall venue during the second week of this year’s Festival to chat to five people working, producing, performing and reviewing at the Fringe. We wanted to know: how is this year’s Festival going, are we fully back post-COVID, and what changes need to be made to ensure the long-term future of the biggest cultural festival on the planet.
