EP90 – Jo O’Callaghan - How to bring a show to the Adelaide Fringe Festival.
Jo O'Callaghan is a former performer who is head of artists, venues and events at the Adelaide Fringe . She's previously worked at Melbourne Fringe, Melbourne International Film Festival, Short + Sweet Melbourne, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival so she knows her stuff and specifically her stuff about Australian festivals.
I got her on the podcast to talk about...
- How to bring a show to the Adelaide Fringe
- Common mistakes performers make that you should avoid
- What the audience for the festival is looking for.
- Why they have no Free Fringe
- Where the festival fits into the wider festival circuit and what performers can expect to get out of it.
AND MORE

I think this podcast would be great for any performer who has a solo show they'd like to perform beyond the UK or their home country and wants to spend the day times on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
