A Fringe Quickie (#556) with ‘Milkdrunk’

Questions answered by Cathleen O’Malley.

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

MILKDRUNK already spills a lot of ink discussing my norks (and what comes out of them), so my shirt will stay on whilst working the Royal Mile, thank you very much. But I’m packing some lovely candy! Milky, milky candy.

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

A White Russian, obviously. Served lukewarm, splashed across the bar, and dribbled all over my freshly laundered shirt.

Q3: 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?

Have you heard of a “Shakti Mat”? It’s basically a portable bed of nails. Mmm.

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

Tenderly.
