Questions answered by Em Stroud.
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
I will shamelessly sing on the Royal Mile to encourage people to see my 47 year old self at her first solo show in Edinburgh. The singing will respond to the weather and what nationalities I meet.
Q2: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
As i am (ahem) a grown up this year I am staying a bit out town at a place with a garden and a view..the sad thing was as I booked this I got v excited! So that. Plus sleep a thibg my 25 year old fringe self did not know!
Q3: 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?
The Spacehoppers would demand their own dresing room and Jack and Matilda would only eat food stuff that is Orange. Fanta and Wotsits and cheese only. Plus the baby abd dolls would demand higher rates of pay. Toy Story gone wrong.
Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
My show would have a split personality – half of it would be dancing on tables living tbeir best life singing Pinks Get The Party started. The other half would be making sure everyone was ok and do they need some water. So it would be confused!
