A Fringe Quickie (#212) with ‘Woodcutter’

Questions answered by John Anthony Gorman.

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

Bribing passersbyers with M&M’s and golf tees. By August 20th I’ll be handing out family heirlooms.

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

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Then a Guinness, because it can only afford one.

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

Surrounding myself with my Power Rangers and a cheeky wee gin. They’ve gotten me through worse.

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

Having a fire sale: Drinks are free, furniture is negotiable, and unresolved grief is no extra charge.
