A Fringe Quickie (#71) with ‘Geordie Geoff’

Questions answered by Geoff O’Flanagan.

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

The fact they get to see me in Gold Lame Hotpants and very little else by the end of the show! I mean, what else is needed?

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

A reckless mix of bourbon, ginger beer, chilli syrup and a splash of whatever the audience shouts from the front row. Served in a dented tin cup by a grinning ringmaster. Unpredictable, loud, slightly dangerous, but somehow it all works.

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

We expected a fridge magnet and some duty-free. Instead you’ve brought home a comedy rodeo. There’s shouting, storytelling and suspicious levels of audience participation. We’re alarmed. And somehow proud.

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

Like waking up after a particularly weird night out: ‘Did a cowboy just make us cry laughing about that?’ They’ll struggle to explain it, fail completely, then immediately start recommending it to their mates.
