A Fringe Quickie (#257) with ‘Do You Accept These Charges?’

Questions answered by Laurie Magers.

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 would take Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple. It’s audacious, playful and confronts the issue of judgement and rejection head on, which like, let’s be honest is a BIG Fringe reality. And it throws me back to the mid 2000’s which I like to call my “first peak.”

Q2: What moment in your show would your grandma absolutely hate (or absolutely love)?

My grandma would absolutely hate the section where I stuff illegal substances up in my nether regions in an attempt to smuggle them into a prison for my locked up ex-boyfriend.

Q3: If your show had a criminal record, what would it be for?

Well I guess my show DOES have a criminal record, being that it’s all about dating an incarcerated criminal. So I guess assault with a deadly weapon for sure. Plus there are a couple other heinous charges sprinkled in, but you have to catch the show to learn which ones.

Q4: If your show sent a drunk text at 3am, what would it say?

Can you bail me out of jail? Got arrested for multiple felonies and engaging in toxic relationship patterns.
