Walking around Edinburgh in the rain handing out flyers....walking around Edinburgh in the sunshine handing out flyers....walking around Edinburgh in the rain handing out flyers....we are beginning to get the hang of this flyering business - sort of. It's really important to have a plan to get bums on seats in the first 5 to 7 days (we didn't). On our 2rd show we got ten comps at the last minute and went out onto the streets of Edinburgh to give away tickets to our show - the theory is, get people in to start with, any way you can and let word of mouth build up - but we couldn't get any takers!! Horrendous....we tried it again 2 days later when we had press in and this time it was more successful...now our first review is out and it's really good, four stars in the Scotsman, so hopefully it will pick up from there...however there has been a really good walk up audience everyday at the Underbelly so we've been consistantly about half full every day and getting a terrific response from audience members. Aside from performing the show and promoting it to audiences, we have another big job on our hands, The Fragility of X needs lots of technical care and we are sharing it between us, dragging a suitcase of soaking wet costumes and unravelled jumpers back to our flat for washing, drying and knitting back every night! To find out why, come and see the show ha ha!
