In retrospect, 'Did Priya Pathak Ever Get Her Wallet Back?' was a critical and commercial failure.
I initially assumed it was my fault for writing a rubbish show, but subsequent performances lead me to suspect that maybe it just didn't work within the context/confines of the Edinburgh Fringe.
For example, compare and contrast the following clips, one from Edinburgh, and one from the Exeter Phoenix on the 24th October.
What a difference a decent audience can make, eh?
I've done the maths, and more people came to see the show on one night in Exeter (192 people - an unexpected sell-out) than attended the entire 22 date run at the Fringe (at its nadir two people showed up).
The Edinburgh run lost about five grand, whereas the Exeter gig netted me a handsome fee.
Draw your own conclusions.
And then tell me what they are, please.
Exeter is starved of culture.
