Talk:Edinburgh Festival Fringe

message: I was thinking it would be useful to create stubs for individual Fringes, especially for the last ten years. Would include: award winners eg Fringe first, ifcom/Perrier; notable events eg Ricky Gervais's castle show in 2007, the Comedy Festival in 2008; notable shows and venues eg the first year of the udderbelly, shows in caravan, trailer, container etc; and milestones such as 1m tickets being sold for the first time in 2003.
I have started one for 2003 to see if it seems workable. Serious About Comedy (talk) 03:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed this text from the article because it seemed like somebody was using Wikipedia as a soapbox, disguised via extensive use of the passive voice. Please feel free to restore it, provided that adequate citations are included and that the section contains a Neutral Point Of View and preferrably use of active voice.

thread_title:  Power of larger venues 

message: I wonder if anyone who contributes to this page would be able to help update and edit this article on Curious Directive.  The company performed at Pleasance King Dome this year.  Any work on it would be very much appreciated.

thread_title:  Curious Directive

message: I undid what looked like advocacy here, but I have re-added a toned-down version following a request at my user talk. Does anybody have any objection to it? --John (talk) 19:32, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pay-to-play 

message: The venue Paradise in Augustines changed its name this year (it lost its apostrophe). It is mentioned under its old name in the Venues section. I don't believe there is a source which mentions the change, but the venue's own website http://www.paradise-green.co.uk shows the name quite clearly, and indeed supports the fact for which it is mentioned, that it is in a church. As I have a conflict of interest  (I am a director of the venue) would somebody please edit it and add the reference? --ColinFine (talk) 15:20, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

message: With so many people attending the festival, accommodation must be an issue.  Presumably hotel costs are raised considerably during the festival, house holders may rent out their home for a month, and temporary campsites will be used.   However, this is my speculation.   The article would be more complete if it contained a section on accomodation during the festival.   FreeFlow99 (talk) 10:12, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accomodation 

message: I noticed that we now have 5 veteran male performers of the Edinburgh Fringe, was thinking about mentioning a woman or two. My estimation is that Josie Lawrence, Jo Caulfield and Jenny Eclair would be among the female veterans. Caulfield's wikipedia article lists 16 edinburgh fringe shows. This article http://threeweeksedinburgh.com/article/quick-quiz-josie-lawrence/ says Lawrence has been performing at the Fringe since 1985. It's 24 years since Jenny Eclair was first woman to win the Edinburgh Comedy Award https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/edinburgh-comedy-festival-awards-women-jenny-eclair-rose-matafeo-sexism-a8509561.html
