The price of attending Edinburgh’s Festival Fringe as an artist has gotten out of hand, and it is threatening to break performers, according to Fringe comedian Anna Morris.
Price tags for performers are variable from show to show, but some estimates see artists paying nearly £4,000 per week to attend the festival.
The average performance budget has to include funds for tech support, travel to and from the Capital, registration fees, PR, marketing, accommodation, and venue fees if applicable.
