We're averaging 40-50 punters a night which is good. We give a handful of freebies away every night at the youth hostel right next to the venue, and they are always used. It is definitely the only way to get these backpackers in, as they sit in the draughty old hostel bar browsing their copies of "Europe on 50 cents a Day!".
This has the effect of turning the show audience into a United Nations sample every night.
We're getting a lot of people to come in on account of our flyering as well. It does really work. It's tiring, you get fed up with people ignoring your salespitch and walking past without looking at you....but unfortunately, it does really work. So we'll have to keep doing it.
I think it helps that people recognise from the flyer that the people flyering are actually the performers in the show. We hear a lot of remarks along the lines of "that's what the Fringe is really all about..." to which we nod enthusiastically and direct them to the venue.
Tonight was definitely the best in terms of performance and audience reaction.
