How do you keep your performances fresh every night?
I have no choice — they’re fresh every night because in every show I am at my limit! I’ve done shows with downtime and calmer bits, but not this show. I gave myself the challenge of staging the comedy version of a full-production concert a la Taylor Swift or Dua Lipa, and between all of the singing, dancing, speeches and insane technical elements, I’m so activated that surprises happen no matter what.
How will the audience remember you the morning after?
Trust me, the next morning we will ALL be sore and walking funny. And that’s a promise.
What do you/your show do to make an audience’s heart beat faster?
I threaten to kill myself throughout the show! Yes, really! If that’s not enough for you, there are a lot of fun surprises out of nowhere — I don’t want to give too much away, but multiple things get thrown, there are multiple costume changes and reveals, there are some shocking acrobatics, and I even make a few death threats.
