History of the Fringe

The Fringe story began in
1947, when the

Edinburgh
International Festival was
launched. It was seen as a
post-war initiative to re-
unite Europe through
culture, and was so
successful that it inspired
more performers than
there was room for.

The dates from the facts of the Fringe Society story -

a story which is far from over.

1947
Eight theatre groups turn up uninvited to the
first Edinburgh International Festival. The inn
is full so they check in at venues away from
the big public stages. The first Fringe has
been born. There is no central box office, no
Fringe Program, no advance publicity – the
interlopers just arrived.

1958
The Festival Fringe Society becomes
organized. A constitution is drawn up,

a
brochure with all non-festival shows
published, tickets sold centrally, a club set up
and information given. Artistic vetting is to
have no place in the societies aims, a decision
which remains central to the development of
the Fringe.

1992
Technology makes the Fringe box office more user-friendly than ever

before, rendering the famous queues up the High Street a thing of the past. There is nostalgia for the heady days of one man in his basement office sorting out the mile-high tickets, but for both public and performers booking in, things are much easier.
