Edinburgh Fringe update

Even though we have brought a brand new show to the Fringe, this will be our worst year at the fringe yet for audience numbers. We are really at a loss to understand why. Is it the show title, or the image? Is it the cost of the tickets? Is it that fringe audiences are actually moving away from the fundamental nature of the Fringe and only coming to see safe bets?  We are very fond of Puppetstate and their wonderful 'Man who planted trees' but everyday we witness their sell out queue and wonder how they do it after bringing the same show to the Fringe for 7 years. The same could be said of the big name comedians .  Audiences have seen them before so don't they want to see something different?  It would appear not.  As for us, we will be going home from the fringe this year and having long, hard think about our future and whether we will return to Edinburgh.
