I recall standing outside the Pleasance Dome flyering my show a few years ago.
I was exhausted and knew I had to fill a big room and faced losing cash so I was anxious and desperate to make sure people came to see me.
I had rented a good flat and paid for amazing posters and had what I believed to be a fabulous show.
Then I spotted a couple of people who had seen me at a showcase show and had taken my flyer after the gig as they liked my stuff. I brightened up and as I approached them I watched a comedy promoter hand them two free tickets to his latest newly signed act’s show.
