A Fringe Quickie (#269) with ‘Milo Edwards: Catamaran’

Questions answered by Milo Edwards.

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

I will probably at some point have to do a front-facing camera video plugging my run and that will be a dark day for all concerned.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Too horny.

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

You’ve got to balance physically healthy things (exercise, vegetables) with psychological crutches that keep you going through the exhaustion (alcohol, cigarettes) – the key is to find the biting point between these two factors. Everything in its place.

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

My parents would probably say: ‘This show contains far more of our erotic correspondence from the 1980s than we expected, but that surprise is blown out of the water by the fact that we’re having this conversation as we have been dead for several years.’
