A Fringe Quickie (#557) with ‘Gridlock’

Questions answered by Kathryn Mincer.

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

We are planning on bringing our dogs along to help us flyer … surely one can say no to a cute dog!

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

Ooh, either an Italian drink because Alexa loves Italian, or a traffic light shot because our show is about people stuck in traffic… seems fitting!

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?

There is a lot of ‘zip-zap-zop’ improv games happening between the actors and director, as well as vocal warm-ups and stretching whilst rapping Kendrick Lamar.

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

Gridlock’ would probably be in the kitchen having a fight with their partner over something that they said on the way to the party. But, will they make up by the end??
