Comedians including Dara O’Brian and Jason Manford support Edinburgh Fringe act who had 1 audience member

Some of the UK’s top comedians have offered their support to an actress after just one person turned up to watch her performance at the Edinburgh Fringe. Actress Georgie Grier shared a tearful photo after her one woman show and wrote: "There was one person in my audience today when I performed my one woman play, ‘Sunsets’ at #edfringe. It’s fine, isn’t it? It’s fine...?"

Her message led to words of comfort from celebrities, who said they had experienced the same early on in their careers. Dara O Briain replied: "Soon, you’ll dine out on this anecdote. More than once I had to buy my audience a drink, as a thank you for being the only ones there."
