Bystanders Sell Out Success

Our time at the Edinburgh Fringe has now come to an end and we are celebrating a sell-out run at the festival!

We have been overwhelmed by the response we have had from the show, the feedback we’ve had from critics and audience members has highlighted the need to keep telling these powerful stories. We performed to 1,997 people over 24 shows.

As with all of our public shows a portion of tickets was available at the price of £1 for those with lived experience of homelessness, which made up 3% of our total audience at the Fringe.

Glad I got to see @CardboardCitz Bystanders @Summerhallery earlier. One of the most powerful pieces I’ve seen so far at Fringe. Clever & moving piece about homelessness & ignoring homelessness deaths. Also big up to Different Engine for the brilliant captioning. Go and see!

Alongside the show we also ran a Citizens Do campaign, encouraging people to sign up and take actions to help tackle homelessness at the Fringe. Visit here to sign up and join the movement.
