The Free Fringe is an organisation that promotes free shows at the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland[citation needed]. Free Fringe venues are commonly independently run bars and nightclubs which create performance spaces in their premises for the duration of the Fringe Festival. It was started in 1996 by Peter Buckley-Hill with the show "Peter Buckley-Hill And Some Comedians" in the basement of the Canon's Gait pub on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
In 2004 Peter Buckley-Hill and Laughing Horse Comedy went into partnership to promote free shows across the festival under the banner name "The Free Fringe". This partnership ended in 2006 however both organisations continue to promote free shows across the festival under the names PBH's Free Fringe and Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival (The Free Festival).
