Georgie Grier went viral after just one person turned up to her performance.
According to one source, many people perform to one person in the audience during the course of the month – and they reckon everyone’s a bit annoyed at Grier for using this allegedly as a ‘PR stunt.’
‘We had our first one audience member last night. We had a lovely time, we just did it to her,’ the source said. ‘We didn’t cry about it on Twitter. Which apparently, the gossip is around the town is that that is a massive PR stunt anyway, and that was all prearranged and that’s how they’ve sold out.’The Edinburgh Fringe wraps up at the end of August, with its final week taking place now.It seems tickets are still available for the remainder of her run, however Last year the festival saw 3,334 shows flock to the city. Throughout the month, 2.2million tickets were issued. That’s 70,967 tickets sold per day.
According to The Guardian, just 24 hours after Grier’s tweet, she performed a sold-out show. But while some may see this as clever, it seems the feeling isn’t mutual among her fellow Edinburgh performers.
