Underground sweeps the board at awards

Well that’s the 2009 Fringe finally over and early reports have it as our most popular yet with some 3,800 audience members.

The Fringe awards were held this afternoon with Underground Venues acts giving another fantastic showing. Once again we picked up almost all the awards in the comedy and theatre categories as well as several others. So congratulations to:
Love And Other Magic Tricks for Best Production

Neyire Ashworth for Best Actor

Eighteen Stupid Reasons for Best New Writing

Piff The Magic Dragon for Best Comedy Show

Marcel Lucont for Best Comedy Performer

High Jinx for Best Event
and Emma Hopkins for Best Young Musician

And Underground Venues itself were honoured with the ‘Fringe 30’ award for their Contribution to the Buxton Fringe.
A big thanks for all our performers for making 2009 another successful year – and to all our audiences for coming along.
We’ll see you in 2010!
