A Fringe Quickie (#67) with ‘SpinQueen™’

Questions answered by Megan Tomei.

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

Guerilla marketing! Besides full on-chasing down festival goers, it’d be fun to set up a bike in the street – my show is entirely set on a spin bike – and cycle covered in blood. If nothing else, it’s honest.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

What my high school theater director did so we would hit our marks faster – shooting spin class riders with a Nerf Gun! As a spin instructor and head of this class, I am willing to do whatever it takes to get my team to ride harder, faster, and look absolutely hot while doing it.

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 fresh watermelon sculpture of my ex’s head. Cutting into it would be cathartic, and a great way to get into character for the show.

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

They won’t have to remember; I’ll still be with them. I make a lasting and pervasive impact, like herpes.
