The Pin are performing Backstage at Pleasance Courtyard (Pleasance Two) during August.
- What is your Fringe show about?
In our show Backstage we play the support act to an older and more successful double act. After our warm up set we 'go backstage' to our dressing room, which is where the majority of the rest of the show takes place. So it becomes a behind the scenes look at our lives as these downtrodden understudy type figures, but mainly it's an excuse for a lot of nonsense and messing around.
- How many times/many years have you appeared at the Fringe?
This is our fourth show as a duo.
- What’s your most memorable moment from the Fringe?
One year we thought we saw David Baddiel in the audience, but afterwards we realised it was someone else. Wonderful scenes.
- What’s the worst thing about the Fringe?
You make too much money from it and it's hard to know what to do with it all.
- If you were not a performer what would you be doing?
Q and A experts for hire.
- How do you prepare for a performance?
Write and rehearse the show for around 8 months, then slam down a Lucozade and introduce yourself to the audience.
- Favourite thing about being in Edinburgh?
New Town doesn't mind looking the absolute biz, so it's always a treat to stride around it murmuring 'ooh, yeah. Lovely.'
- What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve ever done?
Be in a relationship with a Scot for 6 years?
- Favourite Scottish food/drink?
Always happy to see a slab of smoked fish on a plate.
- Sum up your show in three words
Very Funny Hopefully.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
