Lamesha Ruddock
The initiative for this award has been launched by Binge Fringe’s Lamesha Ruddock and in collaboration with Blemme Fatale Productions, to celebrate the achievements, contributions, and quality of work presented by Black Performers at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025.
The Binge Fringe review for each shows form the basis for shortlist assessment but star rating is not considered in the criteria. Our shortlist is now to be judged by independent assessors – a panel made up of leading Black journalists and theatre directors. Four awards will be given out at a ceremony to be held on Sunday 24th August at 11am at Pleasance Courtyard – Cabaret Bar. All are welcome to attend.
We are delighted to announce the shortlist for these awards as follows:
