While eating at a restaurant, they persuaded the waiting staff to come and watch. “They enjoyed it, but they were the only people there!” Lowe remembers. “That was my favourite gig,” Holness says. “I always found the bad gigs more enjoyable because they fit with the idea that Garth’s show was failing.” These became rare. Word spread, shows sold out and Fright Knight was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy award.
