About David Ian
David Ian returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a brand-new crowd work comedy show in which the audience's most questionable decisions become the night's entertainment. Everybody has one — a message they should never have sent, a purchase they definitely shouldn't have made, a decision that still keeps them awake at night. Every show is different as audience members confess regrets, terrible decisions and gloriously bad judgement. Running for 60 minutes at Wee Container 2, the show is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
No two nights are the same — David Ian builds the whole show from the audience's real regrets and terrible choices. If you've ever made a decision you'd rather forget, this is the room that celebrates it.
