You have to accept that you're just not going to have time to see everything that sounds, or looks, or other people say, Is good. Because the Fringe Office works on behalf of all performers in the Programme, its staff will not recommend individual shows to you. However, great tips and recommendations abound from critics, reviewers or the person standing next to you in 2 queue. Sometimes, however, you have 1p follow your own instincts — and, yes, is part of the Festival experience to sit through something dire while the one you nearly went to gets rave reviews, is sold out for three weeks, goes on national tour and spawns a hilarious, groundbreaking TV series. Each of the diferent festivals produce a programme (such as this Fringe Programme). I but you'll want to supplement it.

Aware there would be a good crowd and focused press interest, six Scottish and two English theatre companies decided to turn up uninwited and fend for themselves. The next year a critic dubbed this gatecrashers' enterprise "the fringe of the official festival drama", and the name and sprit of the Fringe was born, For the first three decades ofits existence, the Fringe was a fairly intimate affair, dominated by drama and peopled larcely by graduating students and talert-potting producers. ‘The burgeoning of the Fringe began in earnest in the late 1970s as other forms of entertainment established themselves, notably new comedy, Nowadays, the Fringe is the place where artists of every conceivable description come to get discovered. The first Fringe Programme appeared in 1951, the bright idea of a local printer. In 1959, the Fringe Society was founded to provide marketing and co-ordination between events. No artistic control was imposed on those who wanted to produce a show, a defining element Cf the Fringe which continues to this day. There's hardly @ serious entertainer worth their salt who hasnt played the Edinburch Festival Fringe. Early stars were Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Mille; the entire cast of ‘Monty Python and the Goodies, along with Clive James, Griff Rhys-Jones, Stephen Fry and. Emma Thompson. From Oxford came Rowan Atkinson and Mel Smith, while Manchester University graduates Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson came here and teamed up with a duo called The Outer Limits (Nigel Planer and Peter Richardson) to form The Young ‘Ones.
