#edfringe preview show opportunity

Are you heading to Edinburgh Fringe 2025 with a brand new show? Looking for a supportive space to preview or test out your work before August?
I’m on the lookout for performers across all genres – comedy, theatre, spoken word, cabaret, clowning, music, experimental, solo performance – to take part in our Fringe Preview Season in Preston this June and July.
I’m particularly interested in stand-up comedy.
Whether your show is polished and ready to go or still a Work-In-Progress, I’m interested in platforming you!
🌟 Why perform in Preston?
- Road-test your show with a real audience
- Receive constructive feedback
- Build your fanbase in the North
- Perform at a welcoming, indie venue with tech support
- Be part of a growing, vibrant performance scene
🌟About me: I’m the producer of Lancashire Fringe Festival, who also programs individual shows in Preston and across the UK. I’ve produced shows and programmed UK-wide tours for a number of performers and shows. #lancsfringe is the UK’s biggest free fringe festival outside of Edinburgh Fringe.
My work in Preston has given the unfashionable city a cult status amongst performers due to the regular audiences who attend and the way performers are welcomed and looked after while they are in the city.
📍 Location: Preston, Lancashire
📆 Dates: June-July 2025
💸 Fees: Payment via ticket split (plus feedback and promo photos)
We welcome performers at all stages – emerging voices and established acts alike. It’s a chance to experiment, refine, and connect. Our only limitations are tech heavy shows – contact us if this is you to discuss in detail.
