A Fringe Quickie (#157) with ‘NO NO NO PLEASE NO GOD NO GO, NEVERMIND I’M FINE’

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

Folks might think the Olympics happen every four years, and I understand that. But the true champions, the true extraordinaires are at the Fringe every year. We are the athletes of the soul, tirelessly sharing our stories on our endless journey of self-expression. It’s been my dream to bring my show here, the coveted epicenter of theater. So to anyone who booked tickets to the Paris Olympics instead: There’s still time.

What do you/your show do to make an audience’s heart beat faster?

I keep it fresh by hypnotizing my audience into believing I am the greatest thing on earth every night, and it’s going swimmingly. I achieve this by staying present. When I watch a present performer, I feel like I am under a spell. It’s captivating; nothing else matters except what’s happening in that room. I’m addicted to this feeling and always work to bring myself to this place so my audience can experience it too.

How will the audience remember you the morning after?

My hope is that they will wake up feeling like they watched my open heart surgery. I’ve never had one before. But by that I mean, I want them to feel like they saw into the deepest darkest depths of my soul for approximately. Their thoughts might be like: “does she even realize what she’s done???? I mean, I saw everything!! Guts and all. That’s, wow, that’s a lot. Is that allowed?!?! Is she okay?.”
