Questions answered by Jonny Woo.
Q1: If you could take just one record with you to survive the Fringe — your ultimate comfort, hype, or grounding track — what would it be, and why?
Passion (Naked Mix) – Gat Decor. It’s a euphoric classic dance track from the early 1990’s. My coming of age; late teens; discovering Ecstasy for the first time; living away from home, living for clubbing. It takes me right back and makes me go higher and higher.
Q2: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
Wild, crazy, hot, sizzling, sexy, silly, vulnerable and probably naked and wondering ‘he lip-synched with what?’ ‘He stuck what, where?’ The main thing is that the audience will remember me the morning after at all. It would be awful if they forgot all about me. psst they won’t.
Q3: If your show had a safe word, what would it be? And would it use it?
Chiffon’ is the safe word, because everyone feels safe draped in pale blue chiffon. Of course it’d be used, what a lovely word to say, so elegant and evocative. I’m not sure it would achieve anything, I like to shock and push things, but naturally all things return to ‘chiffon’
Q4: What’s something your show reveals about you that might surprise a date?
That I’m completely obsessed with the Eurovision Song contest. I used to turn the TV off during the voting in the 80’s when the UK often had a chance of winning. The excitement was too much. I sing a Eurovision song in my show. Eurovision geeks will know it for sure.
