A Fringe Quickie (#502) with ‘REDACTED: The Cover-up of a Cover-up of a Cover-up’

Questions answered by Olivia Zerphy.

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

Perform two shows every day so that they market each other. (We’ve also got The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much on every day at 10:40am in Pleasance Forth).

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

The purposeful spreading of misinformation, and maybe a bit of one-sided monogamy.

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?

We used to slap each other. Now we’ve matured and we chug hot shots.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

Like a thrilling first date with someone hilarious, charming and impossible to fully figure out. You’re not quite sure whether they told you the whole truth, but you’re definitely hoping they’ll text the next morning.
