Each August she would head to the Edinburgh Festival, hopeful for that elusive break, labelling comedy as "one of the bravest things in the world." She reveals: "One day at the Edinburgh festival, I remember saying, 'If I get one audience of over 20 people and one okay review, I'll carry on.' My first week I had three people and then on the final day I got an audience of 21 and a three star review in the Scotsman.That kept me going." On BBC Radio 3's Private Passions, Miranda, now 52, reminisces about her annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh, juggling temp jobs with her passion for comedy: "Every year I would leave my temping job and say 'I'm bound to get my big break now,' and by mid-September I would be back asking if the job was still open."
