Charity founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination.
About us
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the greatest platform for creative freedom in the world – no individual or committee decides what should and should not appear. Anything is possible. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, encourage and inspire artists from all backgrounds, provide information and assistance to audiences, and promote the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world. Every year, the international arts community comes together for the Fringe to perform, share ideas and make connections. It is the world’s foremost performing arts market where careers are made, and new and innovative work discovered. Fringe audiences are encouraged to take risks and try something new. The Fringe is a place to discover hidden gems, new genres, unusual spaces and the next big thing. The Fringe was one of the 20th century’s greatest innovations, a precursor to social media in providing a platform for anyone who wanted their voice to be heard. The Fringe continues to grow and evolve, embracing new technologies, audiences and ideas.

It was with huge sadness that we heard of Janey Godley’s passing this weekend. Shona McCarthy, our Chief Executive, said: 'Janey was a Scottish and Fringe legend; determinedly championing and performing in the Free Fringe. She had an incredible gift and brought laughter to so many for so long.' Our Chair Benny Higgins got to see Janey perform only two months ago; he said, 'My daughter Katie and I saw Janey at the Borders Book Festival earlier this year. Her talent for being funny and insightful about everything including her own health had tears of joy and sadness running down our cheeks. Rest in peace special Janey.' On behalf of the whole Edinburgh Fringe community, we offer our heartfelt condolences to her family. Pic: c. Janey Godley
