Another week has passed, so time for some more LaughTrack statistics.

First up, acts with the best ratings improvements since the start of the Festival:

That list is almost identical (ignoring the order) to last week… essentially: those who did well to start with, have solidified their position.

So let’s look at the differences just in the last week instead.

This list could be considered shows with potential: towards the end, it only took two positive tweets to get them onto the list.

So, let’s now look at who has garnered the most positive tweets. Again, since the start of the festival:

Some big names there, though good to see some relative newcomers appearing too (Ursula Martinez, Melinda Buttle and Celia Pacquola).

As for the increases over just the last week:

Not much difference in the names this time around…

But what can you take away from this?

• Ursula Martinez was an unknown before this festival. She’s just added three extra shows, which matches the buzz she’s received.
• Melinda Buttle is another festival newcomer who has been getting a lot of buzz.
• The big names draw the tweets - but Wil Anderson and Tom Green have both finished their festival runs.
• The Pajama Men won the Barry Award for the best show last year in their first festival, and they’ve followed it up with another fine offering, going by numbers (and reviews).

I’ve also started tracking which performances are sold out - but there’s no point offering stats on that, because my data is far from complete. However, some of the smaller names regularly selling out:

• Celia Pacquola
• Hannah Gadsby
• Anne Edmonds
• The Bedroom Philosopher

Nick Cody, Daniel Burt, Vigilantelope and Clodhopper: Miami all sold quite well too - but they’ve finished their runs.
