Questions answered by Kate Hammer.
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
Getting on my knees and saying PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE to anyone walking by. If that fails, I’ll join Tinder and invite everyone to my show under the guise of going on a date.
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
Pickled eggs, on the rocks.
Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
I blow off steam by doing something I call “going detective mode.” I put on a long coat, a stylish hat, and hang about in alleys, smoking and saying things like “this city will eat up everything you got and ask for seconds.” Occasionally I solve real murders, and tell no one.
Q4: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?
I love cheese. Before every show, I always eat some cheese that’s been sitting out for a while so that about halfway through, my bowels turn, giving me an on stage intensity like no other. I must finish the show, urgently and passionately, lest I ruin my trousers.
