A Fringe Quickie (#439) with ‘Jonathan Oldfield: Exquisite Corpse’

Questions answered by Jonathan Oldfield.

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 will be buying all of Mosque Kitchen’s food so that in order for people to have it they have to come to my show and they’ll get it at the end.

Q2: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

I will eat popcorn. Lots of popcorn. Life becomes a film when you’re eating popcorn.

Q3: 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?

I do an ancient dance. The dance is so ancient that anyone who sees it immediately knows it and joins in. It’s the perfect pre-show ritual because it is ancient and it is a dance.

Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

My parents would laugh at them. Because it’s a comedy show.
