Hello people taking shows to #edfringe. I'm a venue programmer. For years I'd post here before & during the Fringe about what I'm looking for, how to reach me, opportunities to chat, etc. Last year I got 95% fewer views. This year I'm still doing it, but on Insta. Find me there.

Giving this a little amplification. If you have a show at #edfringe and want to tour it afterwards, read on to see if we might be a match...

I will be at #edfringe to programme shows and connect with artists/companies. A bit about what in particular I’m looking for :🧵 I programme 3 theatres in Norwich (more info below). We also produce, with ability to support development of new work, commission and co-produce.

If you think your work is a good fit please do let me know. I tend to get flooded with suggestions so may not respond to every one (though I do try!), but I do read them all and I frequently change up my diary if something looks like it has potential for us.

The news is out - we're bringing this brilliant human to Edinburgh! Joe Tracini: Ten Things I Hate About Me Underbelly Bristo Sq, 20:25 It's about mental illness, good liars, bad ideas, Lorraine Kelly and a gang lord forcing Joe to hold a raw chicken. But mostly about hope.

Stupid o'clock and I'm already on a train heading to That London for the first day of rehearsals on Spy Movie:The Play! UK tour premieres in Norwich 29 Apr. It's going to Chester! It's going to Guildford! It's going to the Edinburgh Fringe! It's going to other places too!
Spoof Bond-style poster. Female secret agent stands centre with her fingers posed in the shape of a gun. A comedy flag comes out of them saying BANG. Behind her is an explosion, a toy car speeds away from the blast. Above, a helicopter flies hanging from a threas and two toy parachutists descend. To the left a hand offers a 70s/80s style chordless phone. To the right another hand holds a film clapperboard which has "Spy Movie: The Play!" written on it.

Just a reminder I'm posting less & less here, as all good people probably are. You'll find me where the sky is blue.
