Best in Class gives working class comedians the opportunity to perform at the world’s biggest arts festival. We also hold showcases across the UK featuring our award winning talent.
Our Story
In 2018 Best in Class founder Sian Davies was invited to audition for a spot on an Edinburgh Fringe show, if successful, she was told she would have to pay £1800 to the promoter by the end of the week to secure her place. She set up a crowdfunding page to help with her costs. Within an hour the promoter called her back and dropped her from the audition. Apparently she was not the sort of person they wanted to work with.
Applications for the 2025 Best in Class Edinburgh Fringe showcase will open at the end of December 2024.
