A Fringe Quickie (#543) with ‘Play Dead’

Questions answered by Bailey Edwards.

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

Keep an eye out for a dog crate with a pair of legs sticking out of the bottom running around the Royal Mile.

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

There are seventeen grapefruits in the show, so it’s gotta be a Paloma.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

“No, no, not again. We just got all the stains out of the carpet from last year.”

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

How the hell did they get that all into the dog crate?
