A Fringe Quickie (#153) with ‘Mario Adrion: Live a Little’

Questions answered by Mario Adrion.

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 ready to use my body. I have learned that sex sells- and if need be, I will use everything I got to get people to come to this show. Thirst traps, walking around Edinburgh in a speedo… what happens in Scotland, stays in Scotland.

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

Jägermeister, because at the end of the day, this is a bittersweet story about a German model who finds himself in many spicy, vulnerable situations.

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

It would get banned for being too hot, ja! My Show seems very cancelable. I talk about Race, Sexual Assault and mention tons of Big Fashion Brands in a less favorable way. If I don’t get canceled I might get sued by Versace. Okay, now I’m scared…Thanks guys.

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

My show would be running around making sure everybody is having a good time. She’d get peer-pressured into drinking some weird Scottish liquor and would make sure everyone was having a good time especially if they seemed excluded from the group.
