A Fringe Quickie (#129) with ‘Carpet Muncher’

Questions answered by Jo Morrigan Black.

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?

Probably Miss Colombia by Lido Pimienta, who wears the best costumes! Celebratory music for strange queers and happy losers.

Q2: Is your show the type to leave a toothbrush — or just some wild memories and a dent in the pillow?

My show would unscrew every lightbulb and steal them away. I plan to leave my audiences with some bad ideas and a lot of questions.

Q3: What’s the moment in your show that makes people laugh when they’re not sure they’re supposed to?

Most likely the poem made entirely of actual rental listings from the Irish housing crisis. And only listings I responded to myself! I like to punish them for their laughter with some existential dread.

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

In Carpet Muncher, I reveal myself as the moth in their closet: so when I say I like their outfit, I mean it quite literally.
