Festival Street Promoter (Flyering Team)

Rhymes with Purple Theatre CompanyEdinburgh Festival Fringe | 5th–30th August

Are you outgoing, enthusiastic, and passionate about live performance? Do you enjoy talking to people and thrive in busy, fast-paced environments?

Rhymes with Purple, a Glasgow and Edinburgh-based theatre company, is looking for energetic and reliable Street Promoters / Flyerers to join our team for this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

About the Role

As one of our Street Promoters, you'll be the public face of Rhymes with Purple, engaging with festival visitors and locals, distributing flyers, and encouraging audiences to experience our exciting programme of performances.

You'll work alongside a supportive team to maximise audiences across our Fringe productions, adapting to the ever-changing pace of the festival. The role involves working across multiple venues throughout Edinburgh, responding to changing promotional priorities and helping to ensure our shows reach the widest possible audience.

What You'll Be Promoting

You'll have the opportunity to watch all of the Rhymes with Purple productions at this year's Fringe, giving you first-hand knowledge of the shows and enabling you to confidently recommend them to audiences interested in:

Theatre
Musical Theatre
Physical comedy
Live art
Contemporary performance

We believe the best promoters are those who know and genuinely enjoy the work they're talking about.

Why Join Rhymes with Purple?

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to experience the unique atmosphere of the Fringe from the inside. Whether you're building a career in the arts, looking to gain experience in live events and audience engagement, or simply want to spend August immersed in one of the world's most exciting cultural festivals, this role offers an unforgettable experience.

As part of the team, you'll:

Watch all of Rhymes with Purple's Fringe productions free of charge.
Gain valuable experience in arts marketing, audience development, and live event promotion.
Work alongside a friendly and supportive independent theatre and production company based in Scotland.
Meet artists, performers, creatives, and audiences from around the world.
Become part of the vibrant, fast-paced, and captivating environment that only the Edinburgh Fringe can provide.

Essential Requirements

We're looking for people who:

Have previous experience in street promotion or can demonstrate relevant transferable skills from customer service, hospitality, retail, sales, or other public-facing roles.
Are confident in approaching and engaging members of the public.
Work well as part of a team in a busy, fast-paced environment.
Are flexible with working hours, as promotional priorities and schedules can change at short notice depending on ticket sales, audience demand, and festival activity.
Are reliable, punctual, self-motivated, and enthusiastic.
Can commit to working flexible hours between the 5th August and the 31st August.
Are either based in Edinburgh or have secured accommodation within the city for the duration of the Edinburgh Fringe. As the role requires working across multiple venues, including early starts, late finishes, and schedule changes at short notice, applicants must be able to travel reliably within Edinburgh throughout their engagement.

Desirable Skills & Experience

It would be advantageous if you have:

A genuine interest in and passion for theatre, live performance, and the wider arts.
Experience of, or a background in, the creative industries.
An awareness of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and its major venue operators, including Gilded Balloon, Pleasance, Underbelly, Assembly, Summerhall, and other Fringe venues.
Good knowledge of Edinburgh's city centre and Festival geography, as working across multiple locations will be an integral part of the role.
Confidence representing an independent theatre company in a professional, enthusiastic, and engaging manner.

Pay

This role is offered on a self-employed basis.

£16.50 per hour
The same hourly rate applies regardless of age.
Opportunities for additional hours may become available throughout the Festival.
You must be able to prove that you are legally entitled to work in the UK.

If you're a confident communicator who enjoys meeting people, thrives in a lively environment, and wants to play a key role in bringing exciting live performances to new audiences, we'd love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please send us an updated CV and 1 page cover letter or a video of no more than 5 mins explaining why you'd be a great fit for the role to: [email protected]

Application deadline: 11:55pm, Thursday 30th July

Interviews may be held on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged. Rhymes with Purple reserves the right to close the recruitment process early should sufficient suitable applications be received.
