Aug. 9th, 2004 11:29 amInternet sex addict show sets out to shock the Fringe
There are many things that acts will do to get noticed on the Edinburgh Fringe. But few people would actually go to the lengths of sleeping with a perfect stranger on every night of the festival as the premise of their show.
None the less, this is precisely what Tim Fountain is doing. In his act, Sex Addict, he trawls Gaydar, the gay internet site, in front of a live audience, looking for a man with whom to have sex. The audience votes who he should pick. He then cycles off to whichever part of Edinburgh he has been summoned, has sex, and then reports back on the experience to the following night's audience.
