Questions answered by Margaux Poupard.
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
A meet and greet with the “real” “Jen Shah” and “Elizabeth Holmes”. And barking, lots and lots and lots and lots of barking.
Q2: 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?
Some people play zip, zap, zop. Others repeat red leather, yellow leather to themselves. We put on Back That Azz Up and twerk.
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?
Jen would demand no eye contact between the hours of 08:05-15:18, and six personal assistants to do her bidding. Elizabeth would require unlimited green smoothies, and that MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This” play every time she entered a room.
Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
They’d be concerned that I’m on the precipice of being taken for financial ride. They’d ask me if I’ve signed any binding paperwork and discourage me from giving Jen and Liz the last four of my social security number. But by the end of the night, they’d be deeply charmed by them.
