“ If Scottish comedians can't afford to go to the Fringe, then that's a crazy problem that we have.”

I spoke with Comedy Director and Promoter Katie Palmer of Brass Tacks Comedy, we discuss the skills she brings to a number of performers at the Fringe and her work with Red Bull on creating the Brass Tacks Debut Fund (which since recording has been awarded to Ayo Adenekan).

We talk about her aim to reduce a lot of the gatekeeping that exists around the Fringe and the difficulty even Scottish acts have in affording to perform at the Fringe.
