High 5: The Boy With Tape On His Face
2 Sum up a previous Edinburgh Fringe experience in 30 words: The hardest I have ever worked in my entire life, but worth every single ounce of blood, sweat and tears.
3 What/who inspired you to come to the Fringe? I originally came to the Fringe to work as a street performer. After a couple of years doing that I thought I might as well bring an indoor show as well. I still work shows on the street as it is one of my first loves.

Hide Ad4 How much has it cost you to make it to the Fringe? Before bringing my indoor show to the Fringe I streamlined my show at several different festivals around the world over four years, all with the Edinburgh Fringe as a goal. I would hate to think of the total amount I invested into the show over those years.
5 What does the Edinburgh Fringe mean to you? It’s a bit like a holiday in hell. You get to catch up with heaps of friends all doing shows, but there is a certain amount of stress that comes with it. I also met my wife at the Fringe so I have a very happy association with it and get to relive that moment of when we first met every year.
