A Fringe Quickie (#77) with ‘Live Original Music by Folk-IndieBob’

Questions answered by Bob Augustine aka Folk-IndieBob.

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

Besides spending the absurd amount of money it usually takes to get help with this, I will be outside my venue doing my version of carnival barking.

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

Straight Jim Beam…neat!

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

I will remember all the times (I still have them) that I had to play for the bartender because they were the only one there! Then on to the next show damn it!

Q4: 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?

Nobody may enter without a feather boa and a good disposition. And boas will not be issued. You must bring your own!
