Essential steps to planning your performance journey at the largest theatre festival in the world!
Performing at Edinburgh Fringe is on many theatre artists' bucket list; but - with 3,500+ shows - putting on a performance can seem daunting!
Luckily, there are a lot of resources to help you - if you just know where to look.
Whether you're headed to Edinburgh Fringe in 2026, curious about going in the future, or interested in 'dipping a toe' to learn more - join me for a 1 hour overview of performing at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and top tips I've learned in 3 cycles of participating as a performer.
I'll share available resources, offer insight to help soften your learning curve, and leave time for a Q&A at the end!
In this 1 hour workshop (plus Q&A!) you’ll learn:
What. Where. Why. When. How.
- What - What is Edinburgh Fringe?
- Where - Where is everything? Learn the lay of the land
- Why - Why go? Define your objectives
- When - Timeline for production and performance - what to do when
- How - How to approach the festival before, during and after your run
Bring questions for a live Q+A discussion at the end!
* Attendees who cannot join live, will receive a recording valid for 2 weeks*
I don’t have all the answers but I’ll share what I know, what I’ve learned and what I wish I knew before embarking on my performance journey at Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Wishing you the best,
Diana Varco
