A Fringe Quickie (#100) with ‘Finlay Christie: Champagne Casanova’

Questions answered by Finlay Christie.

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’m going to commit an act of terrorism. I will not reveal what it is, but it will shake the Fringe to its core. It will teach a lesson to audience members and comedians who weren’t planning on coming to my show.

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

A Voodoo Daiquiri. A big part of my show is set in New Orleans.

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

My parents would be proud, my grandma would take issue with the joke involving her complimenting my penis.

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

Being tricked into a threesome and then getting robbed.
