Questions answered by Donna Oblongata.
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
To be completely honest, my goal going into this festival is to not have to do anything that feels desperate. I suppose that’s easy to say in June. But maybe check in with me in August when I’m delivering for Just Eat and handing people paper comps with every order.
Q2: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?
Selling hand-printed t-shirts that say “All Clowns Are Beautiful” (will be available as merch at the show, too!) And we did a fundraising event where we auctioned off dates with some clowns. They didn’t bring in much, but we sold a lot of raffle tickets to win free ice cream.
Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
Hide the good silver.
Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
Dancing on the coffee table, lampshade on head, drinking beer from some kind of hose-and-funnel situation and yelling incoherently, but in a way that’s just trying to make sure everyone has a good time.
