A Fringe Quickie (#284) with ‘January 6th The Musical’

Questions answered by Jessie Ballard and Kiely Sugayan.

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 plan to get arrested for performing our show, January 6th The Musical, on the Royal Mile amassing a crowd so large it becomes a historical event that we are in no way blamed for or associated with. Also begging.

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

Since it’s our birthday the show will be ordering a bottle of your best champagne and you’re getting this round right?

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

Getting cancelled is the least of our worries. There is a 60% chance the FBI visits us after the run.

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

Did that ending mean what I think it does?
