Daphne talks about their Second Show.
1 Tell us about your Fringe show
We are Phil Wang, Jason Forbes and George Fouracres, and sometimes we need an outlet. This is the outlet.
2 Best thing about the Fringe?
The Scottish people.
3 Worst thing about the Fringe?
Not enough trams. We want a tram for every home.
4 How many years have you been coming to the Fringe?
This is Daphne’s second year. But the three of us have come up in various incarnations, doing separate shows, for about seven years now.
5 Favourite Fringe venue?
Underbelly. This answer was sponsored by the Pleasance.
6 Best Fringe memory?
When Phil forgot to tell us we’d been nominated for ‘Best Newcomer’.
7 Craziest on stage experience?
A drunk man once walked onto stage during one of our sketches, thinking it was the toilet.
8 What’s on your rider?
We always demand Liquorice Allsorts with the liquorice taken out. So we just want the icing. There’s no point giving us just icing from the off, though; it absolutely must have had contact with liquorice at some point.
9 How do you wind down after a show?
We usually head over to the Mosque Kitchen on Nicholson Square, followed by an episode of Frasier back at our flat, some beers (cider in Jason’s case), a game of Pokémon and/or Sid Meier’s ‘Civilization V’.
10 What do you love about Scotland?
How different it is to Edinburgh.
11 What do you like about Edinburgh?
How different it is to Scotland.
12 What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve done?
Said hello to a stranger in the street.
13 What kind of jokes do a Scottish crowd seem to respond to?
Funny ones. They also love when George sings in Gaidhlig.
14 Favourite joke?
Brexit.
15 Favourite Scottish food/drink?
Sauce and Irn Bru, of course.
Daphne's Second Show runs at Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until August 28.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
