A Fringe Quickie (#114) with ‘Aidan Greene: Stuttermilk Pancakes’

Questions answered by Aidan Greene.

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 am going to weaponize my stammer and become a menace to society. Anyone who doesn’t come to my show will be labelled “anti-stammering”. Don’t want to be a bigot? Buy a ticket!

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

It would attempt to order a cocktail but unfortunately stammer halfway through saying “cocktail” and get immediately kicked out for public indecency.

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

It stammered on “cocktail” and everyone got offended before the rest of the word came out. Things only got worse during my deeply misunderstood bit about my “dictaphone”.

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?

A record player with one, and only one, record: Scatman by Scatman John.
