A Fringe Quickie (#66) with ‘LANDSFRAU’

Questions answered by Mariann (DorisCrea Collective).

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

Burn a burqa on the royal mile. Just kidding! We’re hoping to team up with a Scottish tea brand and hand out free samples with our show’s branding and a QR code. In other words, we’re relying on the oldest marketing trick in the book: bribing people with food and drink.

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

It would be boring to say tea after the first question. We think LANDSFRAU would order a glass of water. It strips everything back to something universal: no garnish, just what everybody needs to survive.

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?

A huge silver samovar filled with Scottish Breakfast tea, served by someone who can explain the difference between integration and assimilation without starting an argument.

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

LANDSFRAU is the person sitting on the kitchen floor at 3 a.m., making you laugh one minute and question your entire life the next. You only meant to stay for five minutes, but somehow you’re still there an hour later, discussing your biggest fears and deepest secrets.
