A Fringe Quickie (#141) with ‘Hard To Swallow & The Kaye Hole’

Questions answered by Reuben Kaye.

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

For every sold out show I will release a live puma into the houses of Parliament in London.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Justifiable elder abuse. I snuck into the house of lords and slipped laxatives into the port.

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Heroin. But where will I find any in Scotland?

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

I think my dad would be very quiet. Mostly because he’s been dead for almost ten years. Mum has seen the show several times. She loves it. She thinks it’s amazing I have so many female fans and still haven’t found the right girl yet.
