Huge admiration and respect for the artists, industry, venues and workers who’ve made this year’s Fringe so magical. It is such a privilege to have met loads of you this month. But there is #NoArtWithoutArtists and these are scary times indeed.
"Today it was announced that 2.6 million tickets were issued during the 2024 Fringe, however there is no doubt that the current environment for artists across the UK is of great concern; and the fragility of the performing arts community is palpable."
As Fringe 2024 ends today, Chief Executive of the Fringe Society, Shona McCarthy issued this open letter: eu1.hubs.ly/H0bXQB-0

I had the honour of giving the official welcome to the Fringe and you can watch it here if that’s your thing. Someone seems to have left a glass of wine in my way in this picture. It happens.
In case you missed it, on Friday evening Mark Watson delivered an incredible, honest and hilarious speech at the Welcome Address to Artists: eu1.hubs.ly/H0bytFB0
Thank you Mark for sharing your experiences and humour with Fringe artists at the dawn of their 2024 Fringe 🙌
