If you could invite anyone to your show (and you knew they would come), who would it be?
To be honest I’d really just like local Melbourne punters to come along. Being from out of town it’d be great to see how locals react to the show and we’d love to meet you all!

The Melbourne Fringe in three words?
New, exciting, opportunity (for me!)

A favourite Melbourne Fringe memory.
This is my first Melbourne Fringe, so I’m looking forward to making some memories.

What is your experience as an independent artist being part of the Melbourne Fringe?
Not having arrived at Melbourne Fringe yet, but being from Perth and knowing how awesome the Fringe community is there I have no doubt it will be the same, and I can’t wait to experience it.

What makes the Melbourne Fringe unique?
It’s in Melbourne! And of course Melbourne is the arts capital of Australia.

Your advice for choosing what to see in the Melbourne Fringe?
Take a risk! And maybe see a show from out of town? ;)

Do you think there’s a better system than star ratings for reviews?
Word of mouth from someone you know and trust is usually best. Sometimes awards give you an idea about the track record of a show but sometimes you just need to see something for yourself.
