It is very important to network with others outside your production.
Even if you have the greatest show on Earth, you need to network. Some of the most successful shows during Fringe are put up by participants who see a lot of other shows, attend Fringe events, hang out at the Fringe gathering places, and who aren’t afraid to strike up conversations with strangers - we suggest you do the same!
Social media is one of the best ways to get noticed by other Fringers who are often your best audience source. You might also get the attention of a few bloggers or other members of the press. Please note that extra effort here should not take the form of spamming potential followers and friends. Well-thought-out content that tells a story or propels a conversation spread out over time is always a much more charming way to captivate your audience, rather than copying and pasting the same message to 100 people. Groups that put effort into this will reap the rewards: more reviews, stories, and sold-out houses.
Be sure to follow @hollywoodfringe on Instagram and Facebook and tag us when posting about your Fringe show! For the 2026 Festival, use the #hff26 hashtag to join in on the fun.
We also recommend these participant-run Facebook groups. These groups are run by veteran Fringe producers, not directly run or monitored by Fringe staff.
