Questions answered by Eduardo Salzane and Miss Elephant.
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
Miss Elephant, the show’s star, will be flying around Edinburgh every day delivering her lovely flyers.
Q2: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?
Miss Elephant loves peanuts, we’ll take a larger quantity to prepare a Brazilian culinary treasure called “paçoca” (a Brazilian peanut candy) and sell it for pounds. We’ll return home rich.
Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
We improvised a spa with a wooden oil bath for the mini circus performers and Miss Elephant, complete with relaxing massages and “paçoca” (a Brazilian peanut candy).
Q4: 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?
A table full of Brazilian sweets made with peanuts: Paçoca, Pé de Moleque, Pé de Moça, and Cajuzinho.
