COMEDY CABARET MUSIC THEATRE CHILDREN’S SHOWS SPOKEN WORD
W ELCOME T O T HE 2014 F REE F ESTIVAL For the eleventh year running we present another bumper programme featuring more than 350 shows with over 6,500 performances throughout August, at venues all around the city (there’s a map on the last page).
Our aim at the Free Festival is to create a true Fringe festival, with the best in new talent nestling alongside bigger names and with our shows and venues accessible for audiences to enjoy as many shows as possible. Giving performers the opportunity to self-produce shows without facing the huge losses they can make at other venues. A Fringe Festival isn't just about star names, and in the spirit of the original eight shows who turned up uninvited in 1947 and gate-crashed the International Festival, the Free Festival now exists as an alternative within the Fringe where performers don't have to invest thousands of pounds to take part, and audiences aren't charged sky-high ticket prices. However with that in mind we would like to remind you that if you like a show a donation can be made at the end to support the performers and help them out with the inevitable expenses of running a show.
The Free Festival is organised by Alex Petty of Laughing Horse Comedy along with a large team of volunteers, and of course all of the performers producing shows. It’s a team effort and we hope you enjoy our programme.
KEEPING THE FRINGE GREEN There is a huge amount of paper printed at the Fringe, which is why we produce a small fold-out leaflet and not another huge programme to be thrown away! We don’t think we need to cut down a rainforest when all of our show information is already available in the main Fringe programme, and extensively on our website.
WWW.FREEFESTIVAL.CO.UK Visit our website for more detailed show listings, and browse for shows by day, time and venue. You also follow us on twitter @freefringefest, and our Facebook page is facebook.com/freefringefest The Website, Twitter and Facebook are all updated daily throughout the fringe with show and festival news and latest reviews.
