Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge has hailed the glorious return of the world s largest arts festival - after being appointed in an honorary role for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society. The position, which is the first of its kind, will see Waller-Bridge act as a representative and advocate for the Fringe Society, the charity that exists to support everyone who wants to participate in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 2020 Fringe was cancelled for the first time in the event’s 73-year history due to the coronavirus crisis. In her capacity as President, Waller-Bridge will attend select events and speak on behalf of the Society where appropriate.
