After twelve years performing in Edinburgh, Will Mars has spent a full year of his life at the Fringe. What started as a pursuit of five-star reviews became something unexpected – and far more freeing. A funny, thoughtful story about ambition, reinvention and what happens between shows. 'Mars is well worth exploring' **** (Metro). 'A fearsome comedy creation' **** (Scotsman). 'What's not to like?' **** (Entertainment-Now.com).
