Lee Kyle will return to Edinburgh with his tent this summer to avoid soaring accommodation costs.
Speaking on BBC Radio Four's Today programme, Lee said the cost of camping had gone up this year but was still a difference between £450 and "many thousands" for staying indoors.
"It's not as grim as it sounds," Lee said. "It's not like festival camping. It's a nice place with lots of facilities but it's not how I would choose to spend a month, although arguably I have.""In years past I may have done the Edinburgh Festival without a second thught and now it's becoming less tenable," he said.
"It's a cost/benefit analysis in some ways," Lee said. "I've not been one of those acts who's been spotted and fast-tracked to stardom. But that's also not why I went."
