Documentary Premiere; Free Wheelin in the Riff Dimension, The Unspecials

Since the fringe started the free fringe has offered creative freedom to artists and accessible art to audiences.

It is a unique pocket of the worlds biggest arts festival that gives permission and space for performers to experiment and audiences to take a gamble. This documentary from Laura McMahon (BAFTA Connect, BBC3, Edinburgh Tv Fest New Voice Award Winner) celebrates this with a collection of 'UnSpecials.'

When there is no plan or production value to hide behind, that’s when the door is open the most iinteresting moments in comedy, and life. The gap of performing is narrowed for the performer and they are cornered into honesty about their expeirences, not for their own gratification, but to offer a window for audiences to see themselves. The fun of stumbling into an unknown show to watch someone work something out is the spirit of the free fringe.

This year we have two entry methods: Free & Unticketed or Pay What You Can
Free & Unticketed: Entry to a show is first-come, first served at the venue - just turn up and then donate to the show in the collection at the end.
Pay What You Can: For these shows you can book a ticket to guarantee entry and choose your price from the Fringe Box Office, up to 30 mins before a show. After that all remaining space is free at the venue on a first-come, first-served bases. Donations for walk-ins at the end of the show.
