If you could invite anyone to your show (and you knew they would come), who would it be?
Tina Turner
The Melbourne Fringe in three words?
Joyful Chaotic Good times.
A favourite Melbourne Fringe memory.
Doing a sound tech for the 90s night with the band all thinking that I could sing and quickly realising I could not. The suggestion was that I could just speak the lyrics. I chose to sing. Badly, but most importantly proudly.
What is your experience as an independent artist being part of the Melbourne Fringe?
Pretty great and supportive.
Your advice for choosing what to see in the Melbourne Fringe?
If you are looking at a show in the guide and you read the blurb and can’t work out if it’s going to be the most amazing undiscovered gem or a steaming pile of rat poo, you need to go and see that show.
Do you think there’s a better system than star ratings for reviews?
Replace stars with cakes. If it’s a one star show, the performer gets one cake. The reviewer has to hand over the cake in person to the performer then give the review while performer gets to eat the cake.
Five shows/events that you will not miss at the 2017 Melbourne Fringe.
