A law firm, sponsoring a comedy event? Yep, you have read that correctly. Watermans, a Scottish-based law firm, are proud to announce their sponsorship of Forth 1’s “Forth on the Fringe” event for 2023 and are supporting with a free ticket giveaway!
The acclaimed show, taking place on the 4th and 5th of August, will be hosted at the world-renowned Edinburgh Playhouse, and will see an array of comedy and musical acts take to the stage across three showtimes, with two evening shows and a matinee performance confirmed.
This is the first time in five years that sponsorship for the event has been up for grabs – and the Scottish law firm jumped at the chance to support the infamous entertainment show.
Why, you ask? Well, Watermans aren’t your regular legal firm. A full-service solicitor and estate agent, the company prides itself on breaking the “stuffy, traditional” solicitor mould. And what better way to do that than by sponsoring an iconic Scottish comedy show?
With acts including Jason Byrne, Jon Culshaw and Patrick Monahan, this year’s event simply isn’t one to be missed.
And what’s more, Watermans have 6x tickets to give away (one pair for each show) so lucky winners can experience all the fun of the theatre – for free!
On 24th July, the law firm will be posting videos of their winning tickets hidden in places across Edinburgh. To enter, contestants simply interact with their social channels and try to guess the locations around the city – winners will be announced 31st July.
Speaking about their involvement in this year’s Fringe Festival, Watermans Managing Director Scott Whyte, said: “Watermans are delighted to be partnering with Forth 1 and their Forth on the Fringe event. This has long been one of the must-see attractions during the Festival and we look forward to being part of this showcase event.
‘It is a great privilege for us to be involved in the world-renowned Fringe festival this year and I am sure we are in for an exciting month ahead as Edinburgh welcomes performers and visitors from all over the world.”
With offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, the modern law firm is dedicated to offering straightforward legal advice – without the jargon. So, how many solicitor-related jokes can you think of?
Tickets for the Forth on the Fringe event are priced from £27.40, plus a booking fee. More information about the show and participants, along with ticket availability, can be found here.
