A Fringe Quickie (#539) with ‘Jess Carrivick: For Your Consideration’

Questions answered by Jess Carrivick.

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’m going to get inside a giant VHS player and post my flyer through every time someone presses the eject button.

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

A Shirley Temple. Nostalgic, zesty and colourful… with a cherry on top.

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

Go to the beach and watch a seagull steal someone’s chips. Things are better when you see things could be worse.

Q4: 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?

A dentist and hygienist standing by. Too much popcorn is consumed by this show, professionals needed for an IKA (inevitable kernel accident).
