The broadcaster held a sell-out show at FBTS on August 1 and John Gurney, who was among the volunteers helping at the event, had already been mistaken for him by other festival-goers. John said: “The day before, two people had come up to me and said: ‘Are you Louis Theroux?’ After waiting at the end of a queue of around 150 people, John, from North Berwick, introduced himself to the star. When Louis met John Gurney, festival volunteer, he was stunned by the similarity (Image: Fringe by the Sea)John said that Louis acknowledged the likeness, telling him: “Oh yeah, I do see the similarities.” The pair posed for a photograph and John received a signed copy of Theroux’s book, inscribed: “To John, from Louis, AKA John.”
