Almost 1000 people gather in Edinburgh to watch man fold fitted sheet

Alasdair Ferguson
July 27

ALMOST 1000 people gathered in Edinburgh to watch a man fold a fitted sheet, as videos of the event have gone viral on social media.

A stand-up comedian from New Zealand, Dan Boerman, has gone viral on social media after he was able to draw a crowd of hundreds of people to watch him successfully fold a fitted sheet at the top of Calton Hill on Friday.

The UK-based performer said it was probably the “craziest marketing stunt” of his career as videos circulating on social media show droves of people cheering Boerman on as he completed the task.

“If you don't have rich parents and thousands of dollars for PR, sometimes you just got to think outside the box and everyone there was super excited and had a great time.”

I decided I should see how it is really done. Turns out one of the techniques is exactly what I had figured out on my own. Some of my friends can’t believe I actually fold them.
