Questions answered by Jack Ellis.
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
Cut off part of my left ear, hide it at Grayfriars bobby. Then offer free tickets to the person who finds it first!
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
Death in the Afternoon. Absinthe and champagne: equal parts inspiration and questionable judgement. It arrives looking beautiful, causes mild concern, and leaves you seeing the world a little differently.
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?
I mumble the text at high speed while walking to the venue, which is not weird in itself, but slightly more so if you switch in and out of different characters. I also twist my left ear 100 times, shout at a wall, and try not to head to the Airport for the first flight home.
Q4: 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?
Champagne, absinthe, Ice Velvet, the Beatles… live, bolts of lightning, an azure-blue swimming pool, and perhaps a permanent ban on sunflowers.
