US Performers Embrace Edinburgh Fringe Festival

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is a big arts festival in Scotland.

This year, more artists from the U.S. are participating than in a long time.

Performers like Eddie Jen and Abby Govindan are using the festival to share their stories and challenge how people see America.

For some, it's a chance to speak freely, while others see it as a way to try new things.

It is a place where they can express themselves through shows.

The rising costs of the accommodation may deter British performers.

Overall, it's a global event where artists from different places come together.
