Why Richard Gadd failed to win a Malcolm Hardee Award
"When I visualised the show, there was only one room in the whole of Edinburgh I visualised - the Banshee Labyrinth Cinema Room. I needed a screen that was bigger than me. I needed a screen that would engulf me and engulf the audience. I thought: What do I do? Do I sacrifice audience numbers and money for artistic gain? And the answer was: Absolutely. I didn't do it to create a buzz or as a cunning stunt or anything like that. It was a genuine artistic decision that I made."
