A Fringe Quickie (#197) with ‘This Is The Way We Brush Our Teeth’

Questions answered by Ali Brice.

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

My posters this just say ‘Ali Brice Is Funny’ in big black letters on a white background.

Q2: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?

I sold my NOFX record collection.

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

Napping. Fizzy water. Seeing friends. Napping. Coffee. Fried chicken. And Napping. Also napping.

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

They would be wondering why it felt so confident to ask such personal questions after only knowing them for 5 minutes.
