  6 weeks working in the fast-paced environment of the press office at The Pleasance Theatre during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019. During my time at Pleasance, I helped organise and run the theatre's Press Launch, worked closely with the BBC to coordinate, amongst other things, filming for their show 'BBC Edinburgh Nights with Nish Kumar' and liaised with a multitude of different press outlets for reviews. I also worked closely with a number of arts industry PR and Management agencies, such as Chloé Nelkin Consulting, Avalon, Gaby Jerrard PR, Mark Borkowski PR and Cornership PR. Myself and my colleagues were particularly ecstatic when Pleasance acts swept the board for the Dave Comedy Awards Nominations and won the awards for both Best Show and Best Newcomer. Working in the office during the subsequent press frenzy was one of the most exciting moments of the festival. I also gained valuable knowledge about the intricacies of working in a busy professional theatre, and have useful experience in using the box office software VIA / Red 61. Show less
