Robin Grainger: from an audience of one, to global news - 5 mad moments from the last year

No audience! Fringe stars on the day they suffered every performer's nightmare

Georgie Grier's headline-grabbing plight isn't so rare. Edinburgh veterans from Gyles Brandreth to Robin Grainger share their tales of woe.

The show must go on - even if there's no one in the audience

It's the first Saturday of the Fringe and my show tonight at The Stand's New Town Theatre is well on the way to selling out. It's always nice to get the first weekend off to a good start. Sadly that is not the case for every comedian.

Robin 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.
