One of the most exciting things about the Edinburgh Fringe is when a new act explodes on the scene out of nowhere. Crybabies – Ed Jones, Michael Clarke and James Gault – were certainly new to me as a trio although I had come across them in individual projects. When they picked up a Dave's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination it should have given their career a terrific kickstart. I'm sure it has helped but unfortunately they have been on the inevitable unplanned break over the last year.
