FRINGE KNOWLEDGE
Video: RwP Shows @ EdFringe
We've been producing work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2005 and have worked with dozens of companies over the years.
The main genres we're known for at Fringe are Circus, Comedy, Theatre, and Cabaret but we are open to discussing any artform or project..
We are particularly skilled at mentoring international companies making their first appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Why Rhymes with Purple?
You’ll be hiring a lead producer who has been working with companies at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2005 and a team made up of Fringe veterans
who have been performers, directors, playwrights, venue managers, and flyerers.
Unlike many Fringe production companies, we’re not here to fleece you. We don’t charge for an initial consultation and our fees are comfortably below what you might expect to pay many other Fringe producers. This is because we believe that presenting a show in Edinburgh should be accessible to all. However, this doesn't mean that you get any less of a service. We pride ourselves on having a personal connection to the work we produce by only working with shows we love.
Our sevices include:
Venue and Timeslot Advice | Venue Contract Negotiation | Securing Accommodation
Fringe Registration | Creating Your Profile on Fringe Marketplace | Budgeting
Locating and Securing Props/Set | Press & Marketing | Graphic Design
Flyer Distribution | Managing Poster Distribution | Networking
Contacting Bookers/Agents/Presenters | Logistics & Troubleshooting
As well as producing, we provide a holistic approach to your Fringe experience where we support every element of presenting your show at the Fringe so that you can concentrate on the art. We aim to be your first point of contact for every concern even if it might not obviously be in our remit.
​
Looking Elsewhere?​
Although we focus mainly on Edinburgh, we have also produced work in the United States, in Canada, at the Adelaide Fringe in Australia, the Brighton Fringe in England, and Prague Fringe in the Czech Republic.
If you'd like to discuss taking work to any of the many international festivals out there, we'd be happy to have a chat.

How does this work?
You can use the Calendly App below to arrange a free online consultation with us. This gives you an opportunity to tell us about your work, explain what you want to achieve from your Fringe run, and ask any questions you may have.
​
Then, assuming we like the sound of your work and we agree to work together, we'll build a plan of what you need from us and a pricing structure which we'll send to you by email within a few days for your approval. If you're happy with the plan, we’ll send out a contract and payment schedule. As soon as you sign and make the first payment, you're officially working with Rhymes with Purple!
