A Fringe Quickie (#378) with ‘We’ve Got Time’

Questions answered by Emma Louise Lerner.

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

My first plan involved LOTS of glitter glue and a few dinosaurs (real), but I realized glitter glue gets everywhere and is so annoying. Our new plan is a mobile photobooth, come find us and get a strip with your friends! There still could be dinosaurs…I’ll talk to my producer.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Queer infighting, mild advocacy for male subordination, and humanization of nepotism. To name a few…“Help! My girlfriend saw this show and now she wants to eat some p***y??”

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?

We are all Gen Z, we’ll never be able to own a home! The ONLY way this is possible is due to the trust of a few donors that took a risk on a group of young people. That’s what art needs, believers who help us make the things that hopefully make a difference…to somebody 🙂

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?

We’ve had this list written since we were teenagers: A life size cut out of Jeff Goldblum– hairy chest OUT, at least 5lbs of gummy candy, a karaoke machine, and crafting supplies.
