EP22 - Mark Fisher - The Edinburgh Fringe Survival Guide - Comedians Book Club

Mark Fisher hasn't missed an Edinburgh Fringe since 1986. He's a theatre critic for the Guardian and Variety, a former editor of The List magazine and a frequent contributor to the Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday and many magazines, newspapers and websites.   This is the first episode in a new series called The Comedians Book Club where I interview people who have written influential works of literature that can help comedians / performers / comedy fans understand the business side of the industry further. You can buy his book (the Edinburgh Fringe Survival Guide) here - http://amzn.to/1QZKprM   Please do use that link as it pays me 10p per sale and doesn't cost you any more. It just helps support the show.   We talked about -   A brief history of how stand up become it’s own entity at the Fringe and why it has become so big. Tips and tactics on launching a book The dangers of using social media as a performer and how reviewers / promoters talk about silly things posted online. Being mistaken online for someone else and how to deal with getting work after having your identity mistaken. Who does he write a review for? The performer? The potential audience? The value of “word of mouth” for a book launch and an Edinburgh Fringe show Does a review start word of mouth at the Edinburgh Fringe or does it just compliment it? What it’s like getting online heckles / criticism as a reviewer.   AND MORE!   This podcast would be useful to anyone looking at taking a show to the Edinburgh Fringe or someone who has a keen interest in the inner workings of a veteran reviewer.   You can find all the questions and things mentioned in the podcast in the show notes here -  http://simoncaine.co.uk/ATI/MarkFisher   Thanks so much for downloading, hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please pass it on to a friend, give it a positive review in iTunes or donate on the website here - http://simoncaine.co.uk/AskTheIndustryPodcast   Si

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

 

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
