Questions answered by April Alsup.
Q1: If you could take just one record with you to survive the Fringe — your ultimate comfort, hype, or grounding track — what would it be, and why?
“I’d take silence—the only record that truly speaks the absurd. But if I had to pick a song, it’d be the steady heartbeat, stubbornly playing on… like an encore no one asked for.”
Q2: What moment in your show would your grandma absolutely hate (or absolutely love)?
“If my show had a criminal record, it’d be for jaywalking through your expectations — because to live like an absurd hero is to treat every red light as a dare, not a warning.”
Q3: What’s something your show reveals about you that might surprise a date?
“The Absurd Hero reveals that beneath his calm acceptance of meaninglessness, he’s still desperately clinging to hope—mostly the hope that his date won’t run away when the silence gets too loud.”
Q4: If your show had a pick-up line, what would it be?
“Maybe we don’t have to make sense of the world. Some things are better when they don’t make sense. So, let’s steal this moment — the universe won’t mind, and neither will I.”
