Citroën DS3 embarked on a tour, transporting comedians Dan Adams and Christian Ancliff to their first ever Edinburgh Fringe Festival, August 6-30. The Citroën DS3 Ecomedy Tour saw the two stand-ups piloting a DS3 DStyle 99g and gigging all the way from London to Edinburgh (a journey of over 500 miles) all on a single tank of fuel.

The pair was putting in a performance each night during the tour, playing in London, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Manchester and Glasgow before reaching Edinburgh in time for the start of their Fringe run. The DS3 Ecomedy Tour was running from August 1-6 and was supporting Oxford-based hospice, Helen & Douglas House. To allow members of the public to follow all the action, Dan and Christian were updating a special tour microsite, www.ecomedytour.com every day with videos, images and words.

Their eye-catching DS3 DStyle 99g is powered by Citroën’s ultra-efficient 1.6HDi 90hp engine. Emitting just 99g/km of CO2, this environmentally and economically conscious model boasts an average economy of 74.3mpg. The car’s fuel-saving credentials will be put to the test during six days of motorway and urban driving.

“It’s our first Fringe appearance, so understandably we’re fantastically nervous and very excited at the same time. Trying out our show material right across the UK during the tour will give us a great warm-up and a brilliant experience,” commented Christian Ancliff. “We’re testing our humour against the public and Citroën’s technology against the elements. I only hope we can match audience laughs per gig with DS3’s miles per gallon. This should be a terrific adventure and we look forward to sharing it with the public,” added Dan Adams.
