Please welcome to the stage, Ed Hedges.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
My name is Ed. Everyone said hello. Ed from a
very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer and
my mom is a cousin. So like it's not like
not loads going on.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Ed Hedges, a slender, floppy haired up and comer stands
on the stage. He was captivating and quirky and had
the audience eating out of his hand. And then the
whole night took a turn.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
On the twenty second of July twenty fifteen, I woke
up to that noise coming from my front door. That
was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life.
And at the end of my bed, staring out of
my window, there is someone standing. She is terrified, and
