Questions answered by Kate Butch.
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 have decided to walk the length of the Royal Mile in full drag, which will combine my two great loves: getting attention and pushing tourists out of the way.
Q2: 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?
Getting into drag is a ritual in itself. If someone walked in on me corsetting, padding, or tucking, they would think a sausage meat factory had exploded.
Q3: 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?
What do you mean ‘if’? My show demands a well-behaved dog, a tube of Veet, and several packs of pepperamis. The three demands are unrelated.
Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
Hilarious, incisive, trailblazing, kind, humble, and dangerously skinny.
