About Turnout PR

Turnout PR is built on a simple belief: promotion should be effective and affordable. Getting audiences into shows shouldn’t require huge budgets or expensive packages — it should be about doing the job properly and caring about the outcome.

 

We work with a small young, motivated team of promoters, all paid fairly and transparently through Bonuses. This keeps our promoters focused, hands-on, and driven by real results. 

 

Turnout PR focuses on conversation promotion rather than handing out flyers that will be tossed in the next bin. Whether it’s comedy, theatre, music, or live events, our aim is always the same: getting people through the door.

About me

Josh Ferguson

Hi I'm Josh — the person behind Turnout PR.

2026 will be my fifth year promoting at the Edinburgh Fringe, and I’ve worked with many, many performers across comedy, theatre, and live events.

I’ve lived in Edinburgh my whole life, so I know the city, the festival, and the crowds inside out. Over the years, I started noticing a pattern: promotion was getting more expensive, and some companies felt disconnected from the performers they were meant to support. Flyers were being handed out, but the care wasn’t always there.

That’s why I started Turnout PR — to offer promotion that’s fair, hands-on, and genuinely invested in the shows being promoted.

In 2025, I won an ISH Award, and I’m bringing everything I’ve learned into Fringe 2026 with one clear goal: getting the right people into the right rooms.
