Ukrainian comedian frustrated' by lack of attention' at Edinburgh Fringe
Briefly

Dima Watermelon, a Ukrainian comedian, expressed disappointment over minimal audience turnout for his show 'Ukrainian Dream', which addresses the ongoing war in Europe, saying, 'I don't understand the low interest. There are thousands of shows happening, but only one touches on the biggest war happening in Europe right now.' He feels that the lack of media coverage has severely impacted his visibility, despite receiving support from the Ukrainian community.
'My main frustration lies with the Fringe Media,' Watermelon stated, indicating that his show had barely any press coverage. He only received one review, which he obtained by personally seeking out the reviewer after he had covered another performer. This pointed to a broader issue of international artists struggling for exposure at prominent festivals like Edinburgh.
