These awards are given by Scottish newspaper, The Herald, and I got mine both for my performance as Dionysus in the National Theatre of Scotland's production of The Bacchae at the 2007 Edinburgh International Festival, but also my contribution to festivals pasts, including the years I performed there as part of the cabaret duo Victor and Barry.
All the Bacchae girls came along to cheer me on and my Mum came down to Edinburgh too.
