What it's like to work at Greenside

Greenside runs two Fringe venues — Greenside @ George Street and Greenside @ Riddles Court — presenting around 200 shows across roughly 11 spaces each August. It recruits a paid seasonal team covering front-of-house (venue workers), technicians, and bar and box-office supervisors. Greenside doesn't provide accommodation but offers help and advice finding it, and aims not to let accommodation be a barrier to working the Fringe.
