A Fringe Quickie (#393) with ‘Making Love with David Magidoff’

Questions answered by David Magidoff.

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 3 year old daughter Lucy has pigtails and purple glasses and if she’s out there handing out flyers with me, I dare anyone not to take one. I believe in her cuteness more than I believe in my own hopes and fears. She is the Alpha and the Omega. All bow to Lucy.

Q2: 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?

My grandpa makes a mean spaghetti so he’s worth more than grandma. But that would only get money for the flights. We did a Seed&Spark, which is blowing me away with how people are giving (moment of gratitude!!) But my team and I are not against nudity for profit, if needed.

Q3: 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?

Well, this isn’t an IF question so WHEN it does become the massive Fringe hit it’s always meant to be, we need every chocolate biscuit imaginable. US Americans are smitten with English candies so bring on all the Lions bars we can’t handle.

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

HIIII!!! MY NAME IS MAKING LOVE!!! WHAT’S YOUR NAME??? LESLIE??? LISA? LYNDSAY????! LISA-LESLIE????!!! YEAH IT’S A GREAT PARTY!! THE MUSIC’S A LITTLE LOUD THO. I SAID THE MUSIC IS–OK BYE!!!!!
