According to this database, fewer than 8% of shows and events at this year's @edfringe centre People of Colour (calculated using the criterion that 50% or more of the performers or speakers on a particular stage are People of Colour). That's just 256 shows out of 3,317.

[Fringe of Colour @FringeofColour]

Why do we do the #FringeOfColour spreadsheet? At the Fringe, shows by Artists of Colour have made up only about 6% of the programme in previous years. At the 2020 International Festival, less than 10% of all the performers were People of Colour. So it can be hard to find them...
