Don’t be too disappointed if you only get small audiences - there’s a lot of competition out there

Do you have any advice for first time Fringe audiences?
Look out for some of the shows in the smaller venues, off the main stretch. Not all of the best shows are in the bigger venues or have the biggest budgets.
What is your most memorable moment from past Fringe Festivals? Good or bad, you decide!
Perhaps the first Fringe shows I did at the New Venture Theatre. We had a performance of Festen run almost every day for two weeks and it was great but intense.
If you had to describe Brighton Fringe in one word, what would it be?
