So the last 2 days I have been taking advantage of the Free Fringe.

I've wanted to put a show on up here for years and hear this is the way to do it.

It's wicked I have seen some crazy tiny intimate shows like "yeti" a poetry show that's a bit bizarre and has loads of little quirks that I think really en capture the spirit of the free fringe. 

But then I've also seen some larger shows like "Porky the Poet" and am really impressed with the size of the venues and the variety of scale of what the Free Fringe has to offer..

Chatting to the artists up here make it all seem really achievable and that's really enlightening but also very very scary.

They all seem to talk about the harsh nature of flyering their shows and the constant struggle to get a audience in or if lucky a reviewer.

I shot a little video explaining a bit more but it's not seeming to upload but when I fix that I'll post it in the comments :)

Hope everyone else is enjoying themselves and maybe even feeling a little closer to their dreams like i am.

Big love to NTWTEAM for making this happen

Hi Frank, are you doing something at the Fringe this year? Also, if you haven't already, check out Forest Fringe for some great work. Glad you're enjoying yourself!

Best, Alan
