Questions answered by Tasmin Sarkany.
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’m planning to play the violin on the Royal Mile. Then I’ll pick one person and follow them round until all they can hear, all day, every day, is the greatest violin music ever composed. Before we know it I’ve followed them on holiday to France and the Fringe is but a memory.
Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?
The ultimate sin: being completely unaware of cancel culture. My show isn’t so familiar with the modern world of social media, so its version of cancellation is Bach having a street fight with one of his bassoonists in the summer of 1703 (true story).
Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
My show is completely unaware of the house party and at home with a large glass of wine. At midnight, when it realises the racket outside is in fact a party, it sneaks in, gets hold of the playlist and switches it to all the best classical hits. The crowd goes wild.
Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
They won’t have to. After our French holiday I’ll declare my love for my audience member from the Royal Mile and we’ll form a band with an accordionist in Paris. We spend the rest of our days performing covers in front of the Notre Dame. Happy days.
