Ricky Gervais has issued a nugget of wisdom to Fringe comedians.
Taking to social media, he tweeted: “Note to all my fellow comedians in Edinburgh: Remember, your reviews are written by people who aren’t funny. Have a great fringe.”
He added in a chain with his followers: “I’m not even performing in Edinburgh and reviews don’t affect me at this level, but I don’t want newer or less successful comedian’s to be devastated from scathing criticism at this stage in their career.”
We’re not sure if our friends at the Entertainment desk will agree...
