Jerry Sadowitz C/D

yeah, I thought the tweet was saying they were muddling along with staff shortages and because of this they have more say on what is an acceptable working environment.

I worked for years in the theatre in Scotland ( & like others in this thread got to know Sadowitz a bit when stand-up was huge for a time in the mid-90s). An absence of ushers is not a serious problem. Ditto for tech or stage management. The only absence that would stop the show is if Sadowitz cancelled.

Yeah and also as per other posts in that thread, they are significantly stretched everywhere. It depends on the roles too I guess but you probably just can’t get someone in for most things in time. Looks like they are required to know their way around fire safety and handling difficult patrons as a condition of licensing (and for a high profile thing like fringe, you’d bet they don’t want to take chances on that).

xp was that pre or post pandemic, cos nobody can get staff anywhere.

you need to have experience of working at the fringe in the post covid era to really know what you are talking about here

Were other shows at the Fringe cancelled due to a lack of front of house staff? Or just the one with the famously offensive Scotch person?

I mean sure, refund thousands of dollars of ticket money and engender tons of ill-will because noone is there to tell people where the toilets are.

one upside to being American is not knowing a single thing about whoever this guy is

He's kind of American too.
