A Fringe Quickie (#389) with ‘Elf Lyons is The Woman On The Edge’

Questions answered by Elf Lyons.

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

Investing in a hand made bespoke inflatable bouncy castle.

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

A bottle of Pinot Noir. A bottle of Champagne. And oysters.

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?

Your father adores me.

Q4: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

I get my nails done and develop limerence for a week man because it’s important to make unhealthy life choices. And I join a spa.
