    Blood, Sweat and Beers: How One Man Overcame a Complete Lack of Ability to Represent His Country

    When washed-up sportsman Mick Colliss discovered there was no Australian team at the World Sudoku Championships, he did what any 42-year-old with unfulfilled dreams of international glory would do – applied to the World Puzzle Federation, became the sole selector, then picked himself and three rugby mates in the first ever Australian sudoku team – despite none of them knowing how to play. They deck themselves out in a national uniform and travel to India to compete for their country, with hilarious results.

    My question for the audience would be around, "so, what's next"?

    He could surely become a Dual International with a bit of research?

    Unless you are a headliner/TV "name", the main idea of Edinburgh Festival appears to be to not lose too much money, rather than making anything, and that's even for local acts who don't have to fly halfway around the world to get there in the first place!

    Most shows have more comps/festival passes in the audience than paid tickets unfortunately.
