it's hard work but it's fun
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work: the more you put in, the more you will get out of it. The Fringe's reputation as a breeding ground for new work and new talent relies heavily on those who organise it and welcome performers and production companies from all over the world. Being part of the Festival is a large commitment and extremely rewarding. So if you fancy being part of a team dedicated to providing an efficient, competent and above all, professional service to our visiting companies, then read on!

who are we?
C has developed a high profile and a strong brand identity over its nineteen-year history. C venues is now the home of the biggest theatre and new writing Festival on the Fringe. We have one of the largest venue programmes, encompassing over 200 pieces each Festival in recent years, including drama, musicals, music, mime, comedy and visual arts. Our facilities on multiple sites include theatres, café-bars, performance art and exhibition spaces which see over 150 events take place each day, during 20 hours out of every 24.

what do we do?
Being part of C means meeting and working with a huge variety of artists from different backgrounds and in different fields. First we construct our theatres from scratch in a week, in empty halls and function rooms. Next we rehearse over 150 different works over four days, 24 hours a day. We then open for performances for four weeks: every day on average 10 different works will be performed in each theatre, and over the Festival more than 200,000 audience members will pass through our doors. Afterwards we dismantle everything, leaving our venues as we found them until the next year's Festival.
