Edinburgh Fringe 2010: Lewis Schaffer left 'venueless' after mixing up his show times

American comedian Lewis Schaffer has been forced to perform his Edinburgh Fringe show on the street after mixing up the timing of his show.

Schaffer, who is known to pull off the odd publicity stunt in his time, accidentally sent out details for his show “Free Until Famous with Lewis Schaffer” with a show time that is two hours earlier than his allocated slot at the Counting House venue on Edinburgh’s West Nicholson Street.

For the past ten days up to 50 people have been turning up to his current 17:30 show in the 50 seat capacity Counting House Lounge even though his official show is scheduled to run at 7:30pm. 

The venue have now asked the comedian if he can make alternative arrangement for his second show as the space is due to be filled by another performer.

He now needs a venue for his advertised 17:30 performance, ideally near The Counting House where his 19:30 show continues until August 29th in the Counting House Ballroom.

Schaffer is now calling on the Fringe community to help him find a venue otherwise he will be forced to do his show in the street.

Anyone with any practical ideas should contact Lewis Schaffer on letloveflow@yahoo.com.
