Join our team at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025​
CAREERS
We're looking for a Publicity Assistant to join our team in the lead-up to and during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August.
​
Pre-festival prep will involve around 4 working days across June and July, focused on team planning and logistics. These dates will be confirmed individually to suit availability.
​
With 14 comedy shows on the roster this year, we’re after someone who’s a fan of comedy, a confident communicator, highly organised, creative, and able to stay calm and upbeat in a fast-paced environment.

​
Working alongside Lily Marriott, the Publicity Assistant will support the delivery of standout press campaigns. This includes securing interviews, driving social media collaborations, managing listings, and helping generate buzz and reviews. It’s a brilliant opportunity to develop your PR skills and deepen your Fringe experience—while being part of one of the most exciting events of the year.
