A Fringe Quickie (#140) with ‘Tom Stade Rules’

Questions answered by Tom Stade.

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

Bold of you to assume I’m desperate, here’s my ticket link (www.tomStade.com). Who do you think I am – Gareth Mutch?

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

A round for the entire bar, cause that’s the kind of show it is. You see this show and you think you’ve known it for years…it would clink glasses, down a shot and everyone’s having the time of their lives.

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

I’ve been wanted for 30 years now…I’m a goddamn outlaw. I live and breathe the opportunity to try and cross the line as many times as I can. In the immortal words of Garth Brooks “Blame it all on my roots. I showed up in boots and ruined your black tie affair” – that’s what I do.

Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

They’d say “who’s this 5 star show you brought in with you.” And I’d reply “He’s a friend of the last 5 star show I introduced you to…” *mic drop*
