New Leith Fringe venue welcomes ‘Freddie Mercury’ and ‘Queen’


Still, the appeal of appearing at the World’s largest arts festival lures more and more performers to the Capital each August.
One actor taking a huge risk to create his own opportunities at this year’s is Seth Daniels, who has been pursuing a career since 2003.

Consequently, Daniels took a huge leap of faith to create One Night With Freddie, a new show depicting the career of Freddie Mercury and Queen.
“Of course, I’d love the industry to take notice of me,” he says, “but I’ve built up a thick skin to that kind of thing.
“For me, this is about the audience. If I can bring a bit of joy to people through what I do then I can die happy knowing I tried and did my best.”
