Fringe Benefits Edinburgh

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.
