Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
It’s my second time in Edinburgh and my second EdFringe. By the end of the last one, I was sure I wanted to return with a reworked version of the same show I presented last year. I felt like having been through the experience once, I now knew how to handle it properly; I knew what I needed to do, so to speak, the second time around. From an artistic standpoint, I also wanted to make some changes to the script and try different things.
The moment the idea of returning came to mind, I was determined to make it happen. I loved EdFringe primarily because there are so many artists developing their shows from scratch and coming there to present them to an audience (hopefully). It feels like a big gamble, a significant risk you take, to see if people enjoy or appreciate your show and choose to spread the word. And anyone can do it.
Of course, I realised it’s not just about that; your marketing budget and network also play crucial roles in making things happen—areas where I don’t excel—but let’s see.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
1. Expect 0-3 people in the room at the beginning.
2. There are always going to be noises from other shows, so don’t expect complete silence during your show.
3. Flyering and good PR are crucial – you can skip the rest.
Tell us about your show.
So. The first version of the show “Tea and Milk” premiered at last year’s Fringe.
I wanted to rework some stuff – I guess around 60% of the script so here we are with the second version called “Glitch”
I actually like this thing of a piece work that continues to change and develop.
We are going to do it in German!! At Volksbuehne Berlin (Berlin’s biggest theatre) Gruener Salon at the beginning of November so that’s quite exciting.
Let’s see what other opportunities present themselves.
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
There are so many amazing shows, but right now I’m most excited to see Miss Clementine by Rosalie Minnitt at Underbelly, Best Man Show by Mark Vigeant at Zoo Venues, Princess Syndrome at Just The Tonic Cabaret Voltaire (they’re not on Twitter, but are on instagram at @OtterLeeMoy) and The Funny Thing about a Panic attack at Zoo Playground (also not on Twitter, but on instagram @bkassoy).
