If you came to any of the events at this year’s Buxton Fringe, we would love it if you could complete our audience survey.

It’s only short, but helps us out massively 🧡 Thanks!

I've rushed out four reviews from @buxtonfringe.bsky.social running at Edinburgh Fringe now.

Promise to catch up with the rest sooner rather than later.

I am delighted to be nominated for Best New Writing - it's an honor, such a GREAT HONOR! But as you know I always win everything so something is very wrong! We need to CHECK THE BALLOTS and EXPOSE THE MULES! It's time to STOP THE STEAL, BUXTON!!! #BuxFringe25 #Rigged #NoFair #TrumpWasRobbed #Joking
