A Fringe Quickie (#535) with ‘How To Feel Feelings’

Questions answered by Gabriela & Izzy.

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

Door-to-door caroling with doo-wop music and cheerfully threatening tableaus of extreme violence, then flirting with the cops who get called on us.

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?

Synchronized ass throwing while reciting Patti LuPone’s iconic “I am furious, but I am sailing” Instagram post in various accents.

Q3: If your show suddenly developed a massive ego and became the biggest diva in the 2026 Fringe, what absurd, hyper-specific item would be mandatory on its dressing room rider?

At least 4 bags of vegan, gluten free sour gummi dinos available only in select german supermarkets.

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

Strategically dropping morsels of gossip into every conversation to sow maximum chaos and conflict.
