Questions answered by Diego Beares.
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
I’ll probably have four beers a day at the pub closest to Paradise in Augustines and talk about the show to anyone who crosses my path. Until I get thirstier, run out of money for more beers… or my body gives up. To be honest, I’m much more fun after a couple of beers.
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
It would order an Espinillar with Paso de los Toros. One of Uruguay’s most iconic 1970s drinks. Like the show, it tastes of memory, nostalgia and a future that never arrived.
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?
Let’s just say I’ve got myself into quite a mess. I really hope it works out. I’ve lit a candle and prayed to every saint I could think of. I don’t believe in God, but just in case… Long live theatre. Or maybe not?
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’re a very humble company. In fact, our venue doesn’t even have a dressing room. But if the show suddenly became a diva, it would insist on a daily serving of bread and butter pudding — Princess Diana’s favourite dessert.
