A Fringe Quickie (#234) with ‘Bad Boy’

Questions answered by Nerve Creations.

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

Laser-projecting BAD BOY onto Edinburgh Castle at 2am. Completely unauthorised. Completely necessary. Jack would absolutely do this. So would we.

Q2: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Daniel prepares the night before. Outfit laid out. Setlist memorised. Alarm set times three. Very serious. Very professional. He is also still out networking at 4am. These two facts coexist peacefully.

Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

Making sure everyone’s having a great time. Asking the right questions. Making people feel genuinely seen. Then six tequilas and dancing on the bar. Jack contains multitudes. So does Daniel.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

Like Jack’s dates – they will leave feeling seen, heard, adored. He’s basically a golden retriever in a leather jacket. The issue isn’t the morning after. It’s that he’d have to keep being this good. He’s working on it.
