Thanks to Independent Voices for letting me try to articulate my thoughts on what is happening with Edinburgh Fringe at the moment. Smaller acts gamble so much to do it and they deserve the support they paid for. independent.co.uk/voices/edinbur…

We’re really disappointed about this development, and pleased that a meeting will take place next week. Equity members who have shows at the fringe should get in touch if they wish to express their concerns via [email protected]

The absence of an official Edinburgh Fringe app could impact ticket sales as well as accessibility for disabled audience members at a time when Covid restrictions have already hit our members hard. This is a huge threat to the diversity of performers who can take part.

Our Comedians’ Network called for our union to make this call. Equity wants to unionise Comedians to tackle the many, many problems we face. Join Equity today and get active in your union!

This is unacceptable

If you’re an Equity member working as a comedian, and you’re in Edinburgh for the Fringe, then come to the launch of our Comedians’ Charter on Sunday at 11am. We’re unionising comedians to work collectively to change the industry. Get involved! eventbrite.co.uk/e/equity-comed…

Louis Mahoney, Equity's first Black vice president and founder of 'Performers Against Racism' which sought to defend Equity policy on South Africa, left a legacy of anti-racism within the union says General Secretary Paul W Fleming. Rest in Power, Louis. youtu.be/yHXITGlqAGI?t=…

“AI presents disruption to the creative industries & its workforce & Equity members have been working hard lobbying their local MPs to update our legal framework so that they are better protected in the ever-evolving digital world.” #StopAIStealingTheShow standard.co.uk/tech/audiobook…

NEW 🚨👏 | Major win in new agreement between union Equity and the Independent Theatre Council. ✅ For performers/stage managers, minimum salary: +10% and minimum fees: +20% ✅ Fees for choreographers, designers and directors: +10% ✅ Meal, accomm and other allowances: +20%

Equity members in theatre have won this because they stand together and organise collectively in their union. Join Equity and let’s do the same as comedians!
