Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

First time with my own show, I did ride up last year from Great Yarmouth on a 125 motorbike, complete with learner plates, tent sleeping bag, cooker and a weeks worth of clothes just to have a look. Saw The Water Show by Rob Auton and knew then and there that I had to try and do it myself!

Tell us about your show.

I wrote the show, and to sum it up badly, I end up sending a match I get on Tinder a poem about spoons to try and impress her, hilarity and poetry ensues! I also have a go at Shakespeare and Ukip along the way.

Sheer luck and ignorance are producing it, my two kids were the only people at the premier in our front room and they asked me to move as I was in the way of Cbeebies, so all in all one of my better reviews.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

Rob Auton: The Sleep Show
Andy Benett: Roar
Jayde Adams: 31
