The 60th Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 5, 2006

Whilst still remaining true to its founding principle of open-access for all performers, the Fringe has come a long way since its organisational beginnings in a disused pub with a leaky roof just off the Royal Mile.

We now sell over 1.35 million tickets worth more than £10m, and employ a year-round full-time staff of 10 which increases to around 120 in August.
