10th Anniversary Year
Comedy Cabaret Theatre Music Childrens Shows Spoken Word
1st to 25th August 2013
WELCOME TO THE 2013 FREE FESTIVAL This year is a special year for the Free Festival, it’s our 10th year at the Fringe, and also our biggest year ever– with over 6,500 performances of 364 different shows throughout August, at venues around the city. We are bringing together another huge and diverse selection of shows from around the world, including the best comedy performers, cabaret shows, challenging theatre with Fringe stages full of entertainment, music, children shows, magic, spoken word shows and much more!
THE FREE FESTIVAL Our aim at the Free Festival is to produce a true Fringe festival, with the best in new talent nestling alongside more established names and with our shows and venues being easily accessible for audiences to enjoy as many shows as possible in. It also enables performers to produce shows without facing the huge losses they can make at other venues. A Fringe festival isn’t just about star names (although we do have a few of those!), and in the spirit of the original eight shows that turned up uninvited in 1947 and gate-crashed the International Festival, the Free Festival now exists as an alternative within the Fringe where performers are not charged thousands of pounds to take part, and audiences aren’t charged sky-high ticket prices. Although if you like a show you are encouraged to make a donation at the end to support the performers and help them out with the inevitable expenses of running a show and staying in Edinburgh for a month.
HEROES OF THE FRINGE Our programme also includes all the ‘Heroes of the Fringe’ shows, which offers two venues
full of performances with a new way of running shows – you can pay in advance and book tickets to guarantee entry, or still turn up and get in for free on the door once the ticket holders have got in, and make a donation at the end in the usual way.
WHO ARE WE? The Free Festival is organised by Alex Petty of Laughing Horse Comedy, alongside a large team of volunteers and all of the performers producing shows. It’s a team effort and we hope you enjoy our 2013 programme, which we think is our best and most fun-filled ever!
TRYING TO KEEP THE FRINGE GREEN! There is a huge amount of paper printed at the Fringe, which is why we only produce a small listings leaflet and not another huge programme to be thrown away! We don’t think we need to cut down another rainforest when all of our show information is already available in the main Fringe programme, and extensively on our website – for full deatils check out full show info on
www.freefestival.co.uk You can also follow us on twitter @freefringefest and find us on Facebook
