A Fringe Quickie (#349) with ‘Every Ghost Story Ever’

Questions answered by Billy Morton.

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

Die and haunt punters around Edinburgh. “Booooo-k your tickets now!”

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

A Corpse Reviver #2. Because the Corpse Reviver #1 is the host of the show, Billy Bones!

Q3: 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?

Cheeky seance to get a pep talk from deceased historical figures. Arthur Conan Doyle always has words of wisdom to share. If an alive person walked in, they’d be freaked out; if a dead person did, they’d fit right in.

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

They’ll be waking up with wet pajamas after an arousing dream. Arousing fear, that is! And the wetness is piss.
