A Fringe Quickie (#119) with ‘Baxter vs The Bookies by Andy Linden’

Questions answered by Andy Linden.

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?

All Along the Watch Tower by Jimi Hendrix – cos it’s got a relentless, hyper sound, that always shakes me up and propels me into motion.

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

Despite being about a hopeless outmoded inveterate gambler, this show is criminally hopeful.

Q3: If your show had a pick-up line, what would it be?

I’ve got a dead cert on the 2.15 at York. And I’m a dead cert too if you’re interested!

Q4: What’s something your show reveals about you that might surprise a date?

Despite being an incorrigible betting man, head turned by the slightest provocation, drawn into the maddest of scrapes, this show’s main character (and I) are passionate, idealistic and hopelessly romantic.
