Rich Wilson: 'We've all been heroes, we've all been villains'

Speaking to the Cambridge Independent from his home in Brighton after having recently returned from the Edinburgh Fringe, Rich says of his experience at this year's festival: "It was good and bad - there were fewer numbers this year, audience-wise. Ticket sales were down but there was some good stuff as well so it was the usual emotional rollercoaster, like it always is."
