If you’re dreaming of Fringe, planning for Fringe, or recovering from Fringe — you’re in the right place.
Lisa, the Principal Opossum at Purple Opossum, is once again heading back across the Atlantic from the United States to take on the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Festival — and you’re invited along for the ride.
This blog is your backstage pass to the real Fringe experience: the wins, the chaos, the surprises, the hard lessons, and the magic that makes it all worth it.
Created especially for artists and production teams – particularly those coming from outside the country – the Purple Opossum shares practical advice, honest reflections, and behind-the-scenes insights to help you navigate the unique challenges of bringing work to Edinburgh.
Expect:
- Candid articles
- Practical advice
- Video deep-dives
- Lessons learned (sometimes the hard way)
- Encouragement when it all feels overwhelming
If this journey can help you avoid a few pitfalls — or at least walk into them with your eyes open — then it’s doing its job.
Have questions? Ask. Sharing what we learn is how we make better art.
Welcome to the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Adventure! Let’s do this!
