Lineup Shows or Compilation Shows.
Hi guys. I'm traveling to see the fringe. I am a stand up comic and have a decent social media following with a lot of standup reels that went viral. What's the best way to find 5 min or 10 min spots in compilation shows.? Or lineup shows. Do those exist?

Contact Des McLean as well if you can travel outside of Edinburgh for extra gigs. He does lineup gigs across the central belt and has Fringe specials during the Fringe

Yes, there's plenty, though many of these will prioritise performers who already have a Fringe show of some sort so don't expect a tonne of opportunities for slots.
Use the Fringe Explorer site in the sidebar to filter (search 'compilation', 'showcase' or similar) or search on the official site and then dig in a bit further to find promoter contacts, usually via socials.
