Questions answered by Richard Stirling.
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’ve already started. To get the meta-Mandy to sue me for defamation, and try to close me down.
Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?
What sins HAVEN’T I committed? And why would I explain them to you? As I told the Financial Times, “It’s an FT obsession and frankly you can all f*ck off. OK?”
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?
I have taken out many loans. From very important people. Friends, I call them. Do I have to name them? Is this a court of law?
Q4: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
As I told my Hartlepool constituents, “I am a fighter and not a quitter.” I think the butch tone works, don’t you?
