Volunteers for 2026

We always have a team of volunteers who ensure the festival runs like a charm. We have a number of pretty straightforward tasks, but they’re incredibly important – like checking tickets, ushering people inside the theatre, and generally spreading the good vibes of the Fringe. 

In return, our volunteers are part of the Fringe team, and get to see Fringe shows – the good shows, the surprising shows, and the “I’m-not-even-sure-what-just-happened” shows. 

We ask for a minimum three-evening commitment, working between three and five hours each shift.
