A Fringe Quickie (#266) with ‘The Listies 110% Ready’

Questions answered by Rich and Matt.

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

We will be standing outside other shows handing out flyers dressed as the concept of punctuality. Rich will be a clock. Matt will be a snooze button. Nobody will know what we are. It will not work. We will do it anyway.

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

We are a kids show, so a banana smoothie (for health), a cup of tea (for pep) and a root vegetable shaped like a bum (for lols).

Q3: 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?

Setting up an account on ONLYPOTATOES of fruits and vegetables shaped like bums.

Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

Our Nan was supposed to see the show in New York but instead she went on a zorbing holiday in Hawaii with some guy called Rodney Stewart (?) Apparently he has great hair.
