Each year at the legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival, musical comedian Peter Buckley-Hill puts on a special show of his own called the ‘Free Fringe’, which gives a host of up-and-coming comedians and some bigger names the chance to showcase their talents.

The ‘Free Fringe’ is just that, free. The performers don’t pay to er, perform and the viewing public doesn’t have to pay a penny either.

If you’re impatiently waiting for the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival to come on round, then fear not - a show of standup to benefit the ‘Free Fringe’ is coming your way this month, next week in fact.

The ‘Free Fringe’ Benefit will not only entertain you, it will also raise some extra cash for the main event in August.

The line-up’s looking pretty impressive so far, with the likes of American comedian Rich Hall, Robin Ince, Norman Lovett, Stewart Lee, John Otway, Lucy Porter, Wil Hodgson and the founder of the event, Peter Buckley-Hill.
