A Fringe Quickie (#201) with ‘Oil & Whiskey’

Questions answered by Dax Wiley.

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

Hand out condoms to festival goers. You can never have enough contraception at a Fringe Festival. What happens at Fringe, stays at Fringe.

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

Cancel culture would come for our main character, Teddy. Also, we have been told we use the word “cock” too much for a “musical”.

Q3: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

We take a shot of whiskey before every show. And we always say a toast to our exes, because they got us here. Those rat bastards. We think a normal person would probably join in because … good riddance to all our exes.

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

We are dancing Coyote Ugly Style on the bar. And we are the last ones to leave.
