Otto: I do pilates everyday and I like to eat as many bananas I can for energy. My record is 44 bananas in one day. It’s also good to drink well and stay hydrated.

Astrid: I stay hydrated with vodka. Also just before I go on stage I eat three sausages and two cakes.

Otto: I make sure that after the show I get at least eight hours of sleep to be ready for the next day.

Astrid: After the show, I drink beers with new friends from the audience. Then we find a kebab shop and eat lots of deep fried things. Edinburgh is heaven.
