A Fringe Quickie (#518) with ‘Final Queen’

Questions answered by Grace Lightning.

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 plan on running through the streets of Edinburgh, naked, covered in blood, screaming for Kylie Minogue to come save me. If only she comes to see the show it will all be worth it (and she pays £10,000 for her ticket)

Q2: 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 lip-sync the entirety of I’m the Greatest Star by Barbra Streisand, eat 5 bananas for energy, chug an entire pint of lemonade (the bubbles help me get into character), look in the mirror and say “You are beautiful, talented, and powerful”. All perfectly normal really

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

Final Queen has wandered off from the main party to go exploring by herself. At the end of the hallway she finds a door, with an old stairwell leading to the basement. The spooky music playing in the background gets louder as she descends into the darkness…

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

The audience will wake up screaming and sweating from a vivid nightmare of a drag queen hula hooping covered in blood, being chased by drop bears, demonic spirits, and a masked man with a chainsaw! A visual they will never forget.
