Dominic Cavendish and Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 7th August 2023The show must go on - even if there's no one in the audience

Vladimir McTavish, Edinburgh Evening News, 5th August 2023Robin Grainger: Only selling one ticket to my show launched my career
Like many performers, comedian Robin Grainger hoped that the Edinburgh Fringe might be a springboard to stardom. That may have looked unlikely when he only sold a single ticket for his show last year - but his decision to go ahead with the gig changed the course of his career.
