Questions answered by Brian Parks.
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
We happily don’t do desperate. Our company’s shows over the years have done very well with audiences, including the last year we were in Edinburgh (2024), when we sold out the vast majority of the performances for our play “Plotters.”
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
I’ve heard our show likes a nice, cold martini. Martinis are made with gin, of course. Not that clear Slavic liquid some people mistakenly pour into the shaker.
Q3: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?
We’ll let Cancel Culture decide that for itself, as it sits there beaming with pride about its lack of imagination.
Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
Pushing the self-important DJ off the stage, and ushering on a West Coast jazz ensemble.
