CAFF’s member festivals have worked together for Fringe and Fringe Festival are registered trademarks more than thirty years to pioneer a made-in-Can- of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals ada model unique in the Fringe world. Our festivals (CAFF) and cannot be used without expressed are designed to put artists and audiences in direct written permission from the Association. This trade- contact, fostering experimentation and discovery on mark allows CAFF to ensure that any theatre festival both sides of the fourth wall. in Canada that wishes to call itself “Fringe” must abide by the CAFF mandate and the four guiding A Long History principles. The first Canadian Fringe was the Edmonton Fringe Festival, established in 1982. Inspired by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which began in 1947, the success and growth of Edmonton’s adapted formula soon led to the creation of Fringe Festivals across Canada and the United States. Each festival evolved its own flavour to match the distinct personality of its home city, yet each remained dedicated to the Fringe philosophy of accessible, inexpensive and fun theatre-going. Fringe Ideals The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals was formed to protect these four guiding principles, still in place today: • Participants will be selected on a non-juried basis, through a first-come, first served process, a lottery, or other method approved by the Association. • The audience must have the option to pay a ticket price, 100% of which goes directly to the artists. • Fringe Festival producers have no control over the artistic content of each performance. The artistic freedom of the participants is unrestrained. • Festivals must provide an easily accessible opportunity for all audiences and all artists to participate in Fringe Festivals. august 29th - september 8th | halifax Fringe festival 2019 1 WHAT IS A FRINGE?

Nobody loves as hard as you, fights as loud, fucks as well. Keep telling off strangers that cut in front of you in line, keep looking the perfect combo of hot and stern, keep judging bad interior design, keep being fiercely loyal. Since you’re so into winning - a challenge: practice the words “you were right” and forgive someone - anybody really. Challenge 2: do you really have to leave that negative Yelp review? Write a love poem instead. This week, go on an impulsive tinder date, eat spicy food, win an arm wrestling competition, invest in mesh. Taurus: Devoted, stubborn Taurus, everyone has noticed how cute you look napping at the beach and the warm days have you turning heads in those denim cut-offs (why is your ass SO deli- ciously perfect??). You have eaten the best home-cooked brunches and you have mastered how to marinate and grill peaches expertly. Have the record show that you have done it again and fallen in love. A thought: is serial monogamy really for you or is it just convenient? Try not giving this new beau the keys to your apartment before the 8 month mark this time, and watch how much you’re spending on artisanal craft beer. Also, just because you are an average cuddler, does not mean that you get to be your obstinate, unyielding self alllllll the time. This week, practice apologizing in the mirror, try a recipe for olive oil ice cream, listen to pop music & catch a new crush. Gemini: Charming, flakey Gemini, you have collected 37 new hobbies—word is that you’ve 1/2 bedazzled all of your pants, have 3 new love interests, and are teaching yourself how to speak French. You are a true and full genius, congrats. Hot tip: text your crushes back, they will eventu- ally get sick of waiting 8+ hours to hear back. Hot tip #2: clean your craft room, it looks like a gay tornado in there! Do you really need that many sequins? Hot tip #3: no, you do not need to learn a new skill, calligraphy can wait until next summer.

All Fringe Festivals are committed to a common philosophy that promotes accessible, inexpensive, and fun performing arts attendance.

  • SHOW TICKETS at Or Our EXIT Theatre Mobile App! a Note from Our Founder First, Thank You, for Supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival
    SHOW TICKETS AT www.sffringe.org or our EXIT Theatre mobile app! A note from our Founder First, Thank You, for supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival. EXIT Theatre is very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity for the past 27 years to support indie artists in this unique way. As a CAFF member festival, the SF Fringe is an open access event where our performing companies are chosen by lottery. This sometimes surprises people but it works, and a tremendous amount of new and relevant work comes out of the SF Fringe as well as many Bay Area pro- ducing groups who are cornerstones in the indie performing arts culture. We are also proud to say that we return 100% of the ticket price to the Fringe performing companies, which means that indie artists are able to earn money to continue to create their work. So please be sure to see as many shows as possible and help indie arts thrive and survive. Of course this would not be possible without the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, staff, funders, and audience. If you’ve been to an SF Fringe before you’re already familiar with our Tip The Fringe campaign. This is one of the ways we are able to continue to keep the festival going each year, so please be generous and donate what you can. And remember the SF Fringe is just one of the many different events that are on the EXIT stages year round. Come back and be a part of this vibrant, creative and important community, and check us out through- out the year at www.theexit.org Live performance is all about the human connection, realizing we are one together.

  • Dilruk Jayasinha Comedian
    DILRUK JAYASINHA COMEDIAN Hailing from Sri Lanka, Dilruk Jayasinha moved to Melbourne to attend university. Having completed a degree in accounting, he started working for one of the “Big Four.” However, after performing at an open mic night in 2010, that all changed… Dil is now one of the most in demand headliners on the Australian comedy scene, with a reputation for consistently nailing his shows with his positive, upbeat brand of stand-up. Dil has been invited to perform all over the country as well as internationally, and in 2017 he completely sold out his run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival with his show The Art of the Dil. Dilruk has recorded an hour long stand up special for the ABC, and is a regular on Network Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention? and Hughesy We Have a Problem. He also appeared at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Just for Laughs festival. In 2018, Dil received one of the highest accolades in Australian entertainment – the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at the 2018 Logie Awards. In 2019 Dilruk reprised his role in the fourth season of ABC TV’s award- winning Utopia, performed at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and returned to Edinburgh for the second year running with his new show, Cheat Day(s). Dilruk recently appeared in the sixth series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Australia and has recorded a stand up special on Amazon Prime, which was released globally in 2020.
