A Fringe Quickie (#505) with ‘Meet Mayor Max’

Questions answered by Alex Robins.

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 have free badges for Mayor Max’s biggest fans! Find me at the Fringe to earn one of your own!

Q2: 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?

I am incredibly grateful to have received funding from The Pleasance and Theatre Royal Plymouth as part of the Edinburgh National Partnerships. This support is allowing me to take a show to the Fringe for the first time.

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

I am rejuvenated every time I pat a dog on the head. Like Popeye with spinach.

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

Spending the whole party in the kitchen with the dog.
