A Fringe Quickie (#260) with ‘Man or Bear’

Questions answered by Katie Hurley.

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

Given that I’ll be nearly 6 months pregnant, I’m considering walking around, bump out, with the words please buy a ticket to my mum’s show on display.

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

An Espresso Martini. It lures you in with a good time, then keeps you awake all night questioning your assumptions.

Q3: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Strong female characters. No men on stage

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

The worm.
