A Fringe Quickie (#131) with ‘I’m Mom’

Questions answered by Nate Wise.

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 plan on dressing up as my late mother and wearing a large poster of my show as I flyer. I also have a plan to create a humongous mosaic (but I don’t want to give away that secret yet).

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

My dead mom loved Pimm’s Cups. “PIMM” was also the code to all her bank accounts, but good luck cashing in on that.

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

We don’t talk about death and grief!!! Everything is alive and wonderful!!!

Q4: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Find an underground fight club.
