The show almost sold out the next day after people heard about the single audience member the day before.

Robin took to Twitter to share his thanks for the reaction the story has gotten online:
“From one person to 275k views, 1000 new followers and global news in 4 days! Unreal. Thank you all so much! ”

The Edinburgh Fringe is the world’s largest arts festival, which runs until the 29th of August.
