And with that, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 comes to an end. Trying to capture everything that happened is a task worthy of Hercules, so I hope that I&#8217;ve brought you a flavour of the Fringe during August.



The Fringe has always faced challenges from its first days to this year and beyond. Instead of an interview to close out August, I wanted to talk a little about our Fringe community and my hope that over the next year, we can all listen to everyone&#8217;s concerns and work on solutions that benefit everyone.



Let&#8217;s ensure that when we all return to Edinburgh in 2025, the Edinburgh Fringe is the best it can be.

The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2024 Epilogue – Some Final Thoughts On The Fringe

As we come to the end of week three, we sit down with Anthony Alderson, director of The Pleasance Theatre Trust.



 We touch on several critical issues running one of the largest venues at the Edinburgh Fringe, including the continuing impact of COVID and the importance of government funding to the Fringe community and The Pleasance. Given the cost of the Fringe is on everyone&#8217;s minds, we talk about turnover, tickets, and artistic risk.



We also talk about the work of The Plesance to support and promote the arts at Edinburgh in August and throughout the rest of the year, including various Pleasance Futures projects and the ambition of creating sustainable touring for theatre in the UK.

Tim Benzie joins us on the show today to talk about his two Fringe shows, &#8220;It&#8217;s A Mystery&#8221; and &#8220;Solve Along A Murder She Wrote&#8221;. Yes, he loves his cosy crime shows, but doesn&#8217;t everyone secretly love a mystery?



We start with the rules of detective fiction before our talk turns to Agatha Christie and Dame Angela Lansbury, how you can do a solve-along-a with a murder, and the advantages of having two shows at the Fringe where one is guaranteed to get the ticket sales.

Mark Dean Quinn joins me on the show today to do his best not to talk about his show &#8216;Oh No (That&#8217;s Not Your Cheese).&#8217; He&#8217;s found the right level of fame, and doesn&#8217;t feel the need to go any further.



Nevertheless, we&#8217;ve lots to talk about, including the importance of the Free Fringe and how this can offer more artistic freedom, his work on the Edinburgh Fringe Performers&#8217; Forum, and why he is ready to help people before they get to Edinburgh.



But does he eat cheese?

The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2024 – Mark Dean Quinn, Oh No (That’s Not Your Cheese)

Juliet Cowan has an impressive CV of character roles in TV and film following her stand-up appearances, yet 2024 is her first hour of comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp; The delightfully titled show has Cown looking at the impact of the menopause and its reflection on the rush of hormones in her teenage life.



We talk about how stand-up was a way into an acting career and how that had to fit around family life, being recognised by different generations for different roles, and the challenge of having your children come and watch such a confessional show.
