A Fringe Quickie (#158) with ‘Chris Grace: 88%’

Questions answered by Chris Grace.

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

Individually texting every sequential mobile number in Scotland with an offer of free pizza, jewelry, or inappropriate sexual congress in exchange for attendance.

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

Being honest about using AI, not being a Drag Race mega-fan, and being sexually attracted to Graham Linehan.

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

I don’t, I steer the luxury cruise liner directly into the iceberg and try to make virgin cocktails with the resulting frozen shards.

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?

The venue must hire one of the Stoltman Brothers to carry me from location to location so my feet don’t have to touch a single cobblestone the entire month of August.
