Money, money, money...
By Bill Dunlop - Posted on 25 July 2008
How much does it cost to mount a show on the Fringe? Dreadful question, but art costs money somewhere along the line - even graffiti artists need materials.
The Fringe, even if you're based in Edinburgh (and I have the good fortune to be) comes dashed expensive. Venue hire is one of the main items - the company I work with are paying ยฃ2,000+ for a one hour slot in a very good, but by no means high profile venue. If you want to play a main space in a prominent venue expect to pay more, especially if you want to play during the early and mid evening, possibly more if you're late night comedy / cabaret.
That, of course is the start. Finding somewhere to stay will be hard and again, very likely expensive. The population size of Edinburgh doubles in August. Bearing in mind there's c. 500,000+ people permanently living in the Edinburgh area, that's an awful lot of people looking for somewhere to stay in August.

Spot on G! Edinburgh is a wicked place to live and is just buzzing during the Fringe. At least 500,001 other people agree with us! I've taken some photo's of street graff in Edin but does anyone know of other stuff happening over the next month or so?
