A Fringe Quickie (#515) with ‘Sasha Nezlobin: I’m Fine’

Questions answered by Sasha Nezlobin.

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

Honestly, my biggest tactic – and also my biggest challenge – is trying to give a great show in my second language. Everything else feels manageable. Except, perhaps, standing on the street trying to convince strangers to come see it with my mafia accent. 

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 don’t worry about the finances. I just got a new credit card, and ever since I got it, any financial problems have become the bank’s problems, not mine. And, of course, as a safety net, I Airbnb my apartment in Los Angeles. (Just don’t tell my daughter.

Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

My show starts off in the corner, quietly repeating, “I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine.” Then it gathers some courage, catches a vibe, and ends the night dancing on the table.

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

Honestly, I’m just hoping they do. I’m Fine. Pleasance Dome 10 Dome, 9:30pm.
