A Fringe Quickie (#433) with ‘Liberace & Liza – A Tribute’

Questions answered by Jillian Snow.

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

L&L plan to tool around town in the Rolls Royce offering rides to Edinburgh Castle BUT REALLY the unsuspecting riders will be driven directly to Underbelly Ermintrude for their show.

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

A Flaming Banana Daiquiri with a side of bottomless blue cheese-stuffed olives. A combination nobody asked for, but everyone secretly wanted.

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?

Liza’s been selling scarves on QVC and Liberace sold some of his Polaroid Camera stock.

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?

A coin-operated slot machine for Liberace’s mother. A basket of Cairn Terrier puppies, hand-delivered by Alan Carr (and absolutely nobody else). And industrial quantities of Percy Pigs, meticulously separated by whimsy.
