Jonathan Hansler may have been pipped at the post to the much-garlanded P-P Actor of the Year award by the aforementioned Mr. Prior, but as compensation he has just been awarded the almost as worthwhile Actor of the Year Award by Fringe Report. This strikes me as no mean achievement. Anyone can win an Oscar. You just need a lot of hype from a well-funded company behind you. But winning an award on the fringe, where they are hundreds of productions every year all on a shoestring is harder, I'd say. Well done to Johnny, and long overdue.

Hear, hear. Well done, Johnny.
