Welcome. You’ve just taken your first step toward an extraordinary opportunity: appearing on stage in Edinburgh Fringe 2026, the world’s largest arts festival, in a brand-new musical by Broadway Award–winning writers.

Each August, Edinburgh transforms into a global creative capital. Over 4,000 shows, across 300+ venues, welcome over a million audience members from around the world. Only the Olympics and the World Cup sell more tickets.

From dawn until long past dusk, the city pulses with theatre, comedy, music, dance, and street performance. Posters blanket every wall. Artists spill into cafés, courtyards, and cobblestone streets. It’s exhilarating, demanding, and unforgettable.

IN THE FRINGE offers you the chance to be part of all of it.

Why Edinburgh Fringe?

You’ll perform at the largest arts festival on Earth.
 
You’ll live in Edinburgh for nearly a month.
 
You’ll train, rehearse, perform—and explore.

Between shows, you’ll experience world-class theatre, discover new artists, and soak up the electric atmosphere that has launched countless careers. You’ll return home with invaluable experience, lifelong memories, and a résumé that suddenly needs updating.
