A Fringe Quickie (#97) with ‘Anti-Fascist Pasta Night’

Questions answered by Ron Placone.

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

I hope to get piñatas of both Trump and Mussolini and people can take whacks for candy while hearing about the show and taking a flyer. The Mussolini one will have to be upside down I suppose. The Trump one will have to be asleep.

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

It would order a whiskey on the rocks, an Aperol spritz, and a local lager. Then it would encourage all the employees at the establishment to form a union or worker co-op if they’re not already.

Q3: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Well, I live in the United States and according to the absolute brilliance coming out of the White House, anti-fascism is a terrorist thought. So, being an anti-fascist show is already an atrocity in and of itself! So we’re told…

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

Chilling in the corner petting the host’s cat. If there’s not a cat, standing and sipping on a drink awkwardly wishing a cat was there. Then going home alone, thinking about the Smiths and how it’s a bummer Morrissey’s such a twat these days.
