Edinburgh Festival Fringe
we’ve produced, managed or consulted on dozens of productions at the edinburgh festival fringe across ten of the last fifteen years
From storytelling to cabaret, live music parties to one-man shows, large musicals to wordless physical theatre, I’ve worked on a huge variety of shows at the world’s largest arts festival as everything from production assistant to curator to director to producer (including a brief stint as a lighting designer that’s best forgotten…!).
The Fringe is the most invigorating, ambitious, tantalising month of the theatrical year and has become a mainstay in my work. Edinburgh was where I decided that I simply had to work in theatre, Edinburgh was where I found my feet as a producer, and - if it’s not too cheesy to admit - Edinburgh was where I found myself as a person.
Despite all its excitement, the Festival can be a lonely place, but I’m a strong believer that it’s made all the better by having a friendly face to turn to, and an experienced knowledge bank to rely on if things don’t go as planned. Every year at the Festival is a little bit different, but certain truths remain the same every time, and PVP is well-equipped to help you on your festival journey.
We regularly work with a range of artists and producers each Fringe, whether we’re producing, general managing, consulting, or just providing some one-off support. We’ll work with you to define what you need, craft an individualised plan, and keep things bespoke to your resources, all designed to make a success out of your month in Edinburgh.
In 2026 we’ll be general managing and consulting on a range of work, but we still have capacity to take a little more on. As well as providing custom support to different productions, all of our shows will also benefit from a dedicated PVP street team, production management and logistical support, utilising a multi-show team of stage managers or operators, oversight of company management and welfare, and being part of a community of likeminded artists.
We can also support you in all the logistical general manager-y things you may need, whether that’s working with our marketing and press teams, arranging haulage, helping you get your show programmed, managing bookkeeping and payroll, overseeing contracts or insurance, staffing and casting, and finding that all-important accommodation.
So, whether you’re an experienced producer, a first-time fringe go-er, or something in between, do get in touch if you think we can help!
