I’ll show you my bum if you show me yours!!!! (In a seat at my show) and I promise I have a cute bum!

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

She was too hot to handle and people complained cuz they didn’t know what a wild ride they were in for.

Q3: 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 private bathroom with a humongous tub for post show bathing rituals.

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

Hanging out in the corner in a weird fur coat listening to Bjork and painting the walls.
