Help make my Fringe Thrive!
Donation protected
Hello all, So, I'm headed back to Edinburgh, again! With another new show called 'Ginger's Problem Area', a Comedy Drag show where I Aunty Ginger attempt to solve all the problems in the world. If you've ever been to Edinburgh during the Fringe you will know how wildly expensive it is....Marketing, Posters, Printing, Flyering, Room Rental, Fringe Application Costs. PRS costs, Tech costs, and so much more, going to Fringe, isn't a cheap doo. And accommodation, well it's mad, I'm staying in my Campervan for most of it, as I really couldn't justify the hike this year (which I think has happened because Oasis are there on a key weekend!). ANYWAY....
Why do I want money? Well, it's my choice to go. I know that, and times are hard, so, if you can't or don't wish to help, I totally understand, but if you can, every pound makes a huge difference. Sadly I didn't succeed in my bid for funding, so, I'm on my own without any agent or funders behind me. So, the more I get, the more I can invest in the show and in marketing the show, so I can have a bigger impact.
What will the money be spent on? I anticipate mostly marketing (like flyering, printing, posters etc), and show development (higher quality props, sound clips) etc. Any and all funds, however will be going towards the show and Fringe in August this year only.
Why am I going? In a nutshell, I am hoping that I am picked up for higher quality performance work, and even better if the show is picked up too. The fringe is an amazing opportunity to meet agents, TV & film people, directors and other artistic connections...and maybe, this year or one year soon I'll get those 5 star reviews and catapult myself into even more fabulous gigs than I already have.
In Summary
I hope you are able to help, but in any event, thank you for your consideration and for being fans of Aunty Ginger. Much love!
