Rik Carranza found himself in a tricky situation while hosting his Star Trek vs Star Wars show at the Three Sisters.
A performer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was unexpectedly joined on stage by his toddler son after a last-minute childcare hiccup. Comedian Rik Carranza found himself in a bit of a bind while hosting his Star Trek vs Star Wars show at the Three Sisters venue in Cowgate on Thursday.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Rik said: "My plan was that I'd collect Jonah, take him to the show and that he could sit in the audience with a friend who had rushed to the venue to try to help out. Rik praised Jonah for being the perfect co-host, noting that he was quiet and well-behaved throughout the performance. The Star Trek vs Star Wars audience also warmly welcomed Jonah's impromptu addition to the show.
"It does cost, even though this is a free festival, it still costs a lot for us to put on these shows, plus I've got a little one to feed, and pay for a babysitter right?" He said: "Seeing Jonah discover the superheroes I loved as a child and still love was pretty special for me. It was fascinating to watch him decide on his own favourites from quite a young age, and he has some pretty strong opinions about who he does and doesn't like".
