More than 1,600 comedians, agents and producers sign open letter that accuses festival of mismanagement
The Edinburgh fringe festival is attempting to quell a rebellion by hundreds of comedians and producers who accuse organisers of mismanaging this year’s event.
More than 1,600 people, including comedians such as Joe Lycett and Jo Caulfield and some of the UK’s most senior theatre producers and agents, signed an open letter criticising the fringe for scrapping its ticketing app, a lack of transparency, and failing to help with soaring accommodation costs and cuts in train services.
