Win a FREE hotel room for The Edinburgh Fringe – hotel chain opens giveaway competition for comedy and theatre performers

Point A Hotels has announced that it will be giving away a free two-week stay at the city-centre hotel during this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The independent hoteliers have issued a unique opportunity for comedians and actors performing at the Fringe Festival to apply for the free room giveaway. Following their brand motto of ‘small hotels, big heart’, Point A wants to make sure up-and-coming talent is not priced out of the popular festival. As such, they are offering a room to a comedian or theatre performer from the 4th to 18th of August at Point A Edinburgh, in the centre of the city’s Haymarket district.

The dates have been selected to enable the performer to hold preview shows as well as cash-in on two busy weeks at the festival. In addition to the free room, Point A wants to champion the winner and follow their journey through The Fringe. The chosen performer will supply 8 – 10 pieces of content for a virtual Fringe ‘take over’ on Point A’s social channels, demonstrating just what it’s like to be behind the scenes at the festival.

Point A will also stage 3 pop-up shows in the Edinburgh hotel, one for the first three weeks of the Fringe. Week 1 & 2 will be shows featuring Point A’s selected winner. Lucky attendees will be a mixture of hotel guests and guests selected by the performer. Week 3 will be a show featuring Comedian Vix Leyton, alongside a roster of comedians especially selected by her.

Only comedians and actors performing at this year’s Fringe Festival will be eligible to enter. Applicants can apply via Instagram by posting a clip on their page/story and tagging @pointahotels or using the #PointaFringe or emailing partnerships@pointahotels.com by Friday 8th July with:

1. A 30-second clip featuring a joke or impromptu performance telling why they should be Point A’s Fringe Ambassador.

2. Links to their previous shows/website/social channels showing their journey and potential

The competition will be live only for a three-week period from Friday 24th June – 8th July before a winner is selected.

Nic Wenn, Managing Director of Point A Hotels, comments: “As a hotel based in the very heart of the action at Edinburgh Fringe, we are excited to support and embrace the very best in comedy talent.

There is nothing so irresistibly contagious and special than a shared moment of laughter, and we, at Point A, are looking forward to creating those memories for both our guests and the local people of Edinburgh.”

The winner will be selected by internal vote, followed by a thorough vetting process. Moreover, by entering the competition all entrants will agree to have their entry shared across all of Point A’s social channels.
