EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Josh Glanc
Tell us a bit about your show.
Dicky Rosenthal - the once dweeby, now hyper-masculine, image-conscious 'American beefcake'- is in town flogging a new life-changing supplement: manfül. But the 90s dance-music infused product launch descends into something completely strange and surreal? as Dicky's facade inevitably unravels.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
?I've never done Edinburgh Fringe before. The show won some awards in Australia and it seemed like the right show to bring. Its completely different to my first show and I think Edinburgh audiences will like it.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe? ?
I'm the only schmuck wearing a full-body muscle suit during my entire show. It gets so incredibly hot in the suit in Adelaide I fainted from dehydration. ?
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
The show is fun, absurd, insightful, stupid and a bit personal. Its high-energy and surprising, appealing to those that want a belly laugh or those that want to watch someone lose their mind on stage. Otto and Astrid from Die Roten Punkte really liked it, so if you like them then you might like me too!
?
Are there any other shows you're hoping to catch at the festival?
Hannah Gadsby. Her show has been the talk of the town for months and I still haven't seen it! ?
