A Fringe Quickie (#232) with ‘I Made You A Mixtape’

Questions answered by Lauren O’Sullivan.

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

Our show’s tagline is: Nine girls. One dorm. Zero filter. Four of us are single. Best believe those four are getting on the dating apps with the pick-up line, “My body rolls are smoother than a 90s R&B track, so come watch me sweat on stage and see what these hips can do.”

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?

We take our pre-performance ‘warm-up’ very seriously. We all do our own silent disco before the show. Space and time is limited at the Fringe so you might catch us in the park or on the street, busting crazy moves in absolute silence. Join in if you want?

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

They are a bit loud dear. And very messy – do they not know how to clean up after themselves?! They’ve got great energy, but do you really think they’re good for you? They must have ADHD or something (Mum you can’t say that), they change what they’re doing every night!

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

Dancing obvs. And bringing their own drum kit. Teaching everyone choreography for a music video filmed on their parents’ camcorder. Probably crying in the corner for a bit too, let’s be honest. We have big feelings. Oh and we’re hosting, that’s literally our show.
