EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Leo Kearse
Tell us a bit about I Can Make You Tory.
It's a show that explains my own transition from woolly headed liberal lefty to informed right wing Tory. In the show I explode liberal myths such as capitalism = EVIL and nuclear power = EVIL. I also rip apart modern liberals for being a bunch of smug supercilious backslapping selfish virtue signalling moaning c**ts who literally drive regular people to vote for Trump. I also explain why Trump is basically a cool guy who likes to party.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
To shove it down the throat of a liberal echo chamber w**kfest, also to get rich and famous.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
It's not the only right wing show at the Fringe but it's the most right wing one and the most informed.
Is it hard to keep the show up to date in the current political climate?
Absolutely! When I started writing this show I would never have predicted that Theresa May would manage to screw up her election campaign so catastrophically; or that so many people would vote for a Labour party that's helmed by a boring old scruff who sides with terrorists and whose economic policies would irreparably damage the country.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
Only come if you've got an open mind and a sense of humour. I keep getting crybaby liberals storming out of my show because I've said something they find disagreeable. Look, if you're a liberal lefty fat activist blogger there are a million sh*t shows for you to watch at the festival that will serve your own opinions back to you with a smile. Don't come and disrupt my show. You're basically Mary Whitehouse with a greater sense of self importance. So don't come.
