Lisa Keddie
I’m a freelance events type, specialising in arts festivals. I have worked extensively around the Edinburgh Fringe – in a producing/programming capacity mainly, but in 2011 took a wee step into running a press office for a major theatre venue, which went rather well. I have also programmed and run venues for the Brighton Fringe and Leicester Comedy Festival, as well as running the office for Imaginate Childrens Festival for the past few years. In between all this I’ve done a bit of tour booking for comedians, set up and run some one day comedy festivals, worked on a few PR campaigns for touring theatre shows and probably some other things.
This year I have taken a leap across the pond and will be (deep breath) ticketing and artist services at Adelaide Fringe, assistant venue manager and running the artist bar at Melbourne Comedy Fest, hopefully some sort of thing at New Zealand Comedy Festival before flying over to Hollywood to take up my new role there as front of house manager.
I first came to Hollywood Fringe as a producer with a project called ‘The British Invasion’ 2010. I am super excited to be working with the fringe again this year!
I’m quite short, really good at drinking (Scottish) and have been known to be relatively funny.
