A Fringe Quickie (#46) with ‘Padlocked!’

Questions answered by Joseph N. Alberts.

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

Standing on a street corner with a bunch of flyers shouting out “gay bondage!” and “Please don’t tell my line manager about the show I’m doing!”

Q2: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Lying back on bed and attaching myself to it for a period of time.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

Heart attack, stroke, and then another heart attack if the first one didn’t finish them off.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

By the character’s Grindr profile name, Kinkbeardadbod: one word.
