A Fringe Quickie (#325) with ‘Goodbye Horses: An Unauthorised Solo Retelling of Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs’

Questions answered by Michael Kinnan.

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

Eat one lucky audience member’s face.

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

A nice chianti!

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?

Prayers and tax fraud, naturally.

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

Very politely. They roll out the RED carpet and never take their eyes off it.
