A Fringe Quickie (#21) with ‘Trudy Camichael’s Spontaneous Vegas!’

Questions answered by Trudy Camichael.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Dressing up as a Vegas Showgirl to flyer on the Royal Mile

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

Easy! Its own signature cocktail called a Trudini. That’s a vodka martini up with a twist and three shakes of cocktail glitter or luster dust.

Q3: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

Lots of literal hmming, hemming and hawing – meaning my vocal warmup covers a wide range of sounds that might make someone think I’m having quite the time making up my mind about something – or that I’ve just lost my mind entirely. It’s quite mad!

Q4: If your show suddenly developed a massive ego and became the biggest diva in the 2026 Fringe, what absurd, hyper-specific item would be mandatory on its dressing room rider?

It’s nearly there already! Demands to be met: 1. Soft lighting (pink lava lamps preferred) 2. A Hydromassage machine 3. A room temperature case of Evian
