User:Peaky76/Edinburgh Festival Fringe 1983

The Circuit, a venue that had opened a year earlier, on a spare patch of land on which the Traverse Theatre now stands, acted as a "tented village" with shows across several tents. Noise bleed between neighbouring shows was an unfortunate side effect of the set-up. Frustration at this led one comedian, Malcolm Hardee, to drive a tractor through actor Eric Bogosian's show, whilst naked.
