Questions answered by Candace Bryan.

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?

“Josie” by Steely Dan. It’s about a party girl who every loves and is excited to see when she comes to town. That’s the vibe I’m trying to manifest for my trip to Edinburgh. Also, it’s just a banger. I often listen to it before gigs.

Q2: If your show had a criminal record, what would it be for?

Possession with intent to supply.

Q3: What’s the temperature of your show?

34 degrees. Not because that’s the ideal scrotal temperature for healthy sperm production. For a completely different reason.

Q4: If your show walked into a bar, what would it order?

A Death in the Afternoon (absinthe and champagne). They say this cocktail was invented by Hemingway after he spent time in Paris. My show was also created by an American (me) after spending time in Paris. Also this drink is strong and my show loves getting day drunk.
