A Fringe Quickie (#304) with ‘Beth’

Questions answered by Karl Boyd.

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

Free severed limb with every ticket purchased. While stocks last.

Q2: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

Sword sharpening? Self tattooing? Hair braiding? Sharing war paint designs? People may think Mel Gibson’s at it again.

Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

You’re joking, right? Last party we were at the bloodied corpse of the host’s best mate turned up and it all went downhill from there…

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

The post rock gig headache and tinnitus should do it.
