FEMME NATALE - Edinburgh Fringe Festival inclusion 2023! Can you help us spread some laughter?

Firstly we acknowledge life has not been easy or kind for many lately. This is not the best time to be asking for support and we only ask what is possible for those who wish to do so comfortably.

The Femme Natale team is comprised of practitioners who have been championing NZ comedy and the arts for many years and supporting others to do so - including:

Director/Founder of Femme Natale Fingal Pollock along with April Phillips, Jeremy Nelson and Tracey Savage.

You're receiving this as a friend, relative, Femme Natale supporter, or someone who we know appreciates the importance of the arts sector and the often needed community support to sustain it. For what is a world without art?

Most artists hope to break even at best at Ed Fringe - but this is a brilliant opportunity and often a springboard to other things. We are honoured to be offered this opportunity, it's a bit of a once in a lifetime gig.

If you can throw a few pennies in the pot we will love you forever more. The total expenditure above travel and accommodation is close to $16k NZD. We are paying our way to Scotland, this isn't a holiday - we will be working hard. Overall we are seeking a mixture of support via sponsors, philanthropists, arts bodies, and this page to go some way towards this total to make this festival inclusion a possibility.
