Circus Trick Tease talk about their Edinburgh Fringe show.
1 Tell us about your Fringe show
It’s a 45min action packed, silly billy, extra ordinary circus comedy which attempts to prove that kids are stinky with messy, ridiculous, hysterical twists. They only succeed in proving that children are awesome…and they know it!
2 Best thing about the Fringe?
The tiny moments, the anticipation of an audience before a show, midnight kebabs, a hug from a 6 foot clown, walking the meadows and little hands giving you high fives.
3 Worst thing about the Fringe?
Waiting for a review…. it turns your tummy inside out.
4 How many years have you been coming to the Fringe?
I’ve been three times. The first time I was inspired, the second time with a little show and now with the Stinky.
5 Favourite Fringe venue?
The Piccolo of course.
6 Best Fringe memory?
Reading our first five star review, I was totally blown away.
7 Worst moment of corpsing?
A little girl yelling out in the middle of our show, “I fart in ballet class"
8 Craziest on stage experience?
One kid decided to break dance in the middle of our show.
9 What’s on your rider?
Five eggs, a packet of lollies, air freshener and an onion.
10 How do you wind down after a show?
Hanging out with my darling crazy two-year-old.
11 What do you love about Scotland?
The hills, the accent but mostly the kilts.
12 What do you like about Edinburgh?
The people. You have the best audiences in the world.
13 What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve done?
Lots of beer drinking.
14 What kind of jokes do a Scottish crowd seem to respond to? What is the audience response like in Edinburgh?
All of them, we are having so much fun.
15 Favourite Scottish food/drink?
Steak and mushroom pie at Doctors.
Circus Trick Tease: Children are Stinky is on at the Assembly George Square Gardens until August 29.
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
