We went in search of the Fringe venues putting more money in the pockets of new comedians. @BarrelComedy @StandComedyClub @hootscomedy @ShedinburghFest @JTTedinburgh @freefringefest @FollowTheCow @Gildedballoon

[FreeFringeFest @freefringefest]

@abyrd101 If this is your response to an entirely different organisation cancelling two Jewish shows we have subsequently assisted, I suggest you throw your abuse at them with some basic research as to the venue they were from: PBH Free Fringe and not us.

[FreeFringeFest @freefringefest]

The 2025 Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival programme is now live - https://t.co/RzBqd3G80b - check out over 6,000 performances of 320 free/pay what you can shows and see what our chicken is up to this year! #edfringe #edfringe2025 #edinburgh #free #comedy #theatre #arts

[FreeFringeFest @freefringefest]

@channingms1 These shows were NOT at our venues, please direct your complaints to PBH Free Fringe who is the organisation who manage events at Whistlebinkies. Us, like many others at the Fringe, have tried to help these performers. So get your facts correct before hurling false abuse.
