How did you come up with the name of your show that you’re taking to the fringe?

Intense Goblin Nightmare Woman, because we’re like Manic Pixie Dream Girls, but worse. The show is about gender-fluidity, body image, modern masculinity through the medium of being massive flaming rock stars, day and night baby!

Tell us all about your show!

We literally had a reviewer say the show was indescribable and told people to just come see it for themselves because it was “one of the most memorable performances out there.” So if the professionals can’t do it, what hope is there for us clowns?! 

Basically, it’s a punk comedy rock n’ roll show with some absolute bangers about zoos, fruit and being a hot mess. There are a couple of little sad poems that’ll make you cry, so you know we’re deep. 

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?

No-one, we won’t have time. We’ll be on the hunt for Brian, the mystical Edinburgh yeti who once a year, sheds his winter coat and comes down from the mountains to run a pub for the month of August. He’s 9ft tall and feeds on performers like cocktail sausages to sustain himself over the course of the Fringe. He hates glitter but loves threatening to petrol bomb your caravan.  

(We wish this were a joke, but he is a real man we met last year who threatened to ignite the caravan we were staying in last year. He’s actually only seven and a half feet tall but still a really lovely man.)  

Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe. 

Yes we did the Fringe last year, we had a mental breakdown. We stayed in a caravan with no electricity and no running water for the whole month, partied until 6am and then went and did our MORNING SHOW.

Everyone kept asking “When’s your show?”

We’d say “10:45”

They’d say “Oh wow nice one, late spot, people will have had plenty to drink that time of night.”

We’d say “No, 10:45 AM!”

So our key piece of advice for anyone looking to do a Fringe run is that sleep is important, but if you stay awake for long enough to hallucinate then you might perform to a bigger audience than you would in the real world. 

Favourite one liner you have done in a show and why?

“Scibitty bop bop ba do, that’s jazz everyone.” It’s our favourite because it can be used at any time, in any situation, with any context and also if you say it backwards you can summon FEVER PEACH. 

Also the set up to that punchline is four minutes long, and our single favourite joke we have ever written. We will spoil no more of it. 

Talk us through your daily routine for a day at the Fringe

Last year, our days involved waking up in our caravan at 8am to get the bus at 9 to flyer for our 10.45am show. We would then do the show and collapse in the meadows covered in sweat, glitter and last night’s make-up, until our next gig. We would generally gig four or five times a day, because we got to give the people what they want, and what they want is the PEACH. 

We’d go play some shows, smoke our own weight in cigarettes, go to a nightclub until 5am because we are silly silly boys. Then we’d wait an hour for a bus back to the caravan, sleep for an hour and then DO IT ALL AGAIN. 

We are so sleepy. 

What is the best way to enjoy yourself at the fringe?

Come to FEVER PEACH: Intense Goblin Nightmare Woman… Or find us in the meadows/Hive/a falling apart caravan, having a proper party.

Too many Fringe goers and comics alike don’t take full advantage of the fact you’re just doing comedy, (the thing you love) for a whole month. If you’re not a shell of yourself by the end of August, were you really at the Fringe?

Best thing about performing at the fringe?

The fact that you just get to keep performing, over and over and over. You’ll get so bored of your own material, that you’ll write a new hour just to keep yourself interested. Last Fringe, we wrote songs about: tall women, Oasis (the band), what types of dogs we have and the fact that we invented pavements, a terrible day at the zoo, and five or six more increasingly dumb things. 

The most challenging thing about performing at the fringe?

One time, we turned on the gas for the fridge in our caravan and it leaked. Scott nearly died, but claims it was the best nap she’s ever had. We didn’t turn the gas on to the fridge after that. That meant we had no milk, so had no cereal. The most challenging thing about performing at the Fringe is when you don’t have cereal. It’s the foodstuff that’s always a meal anytime of the day or night. 

What would be your top three items every performer must take to the fringe?

Cereal, a guitar, their own sparkling personalities. 

What’s the secret to successful flyering? 

Our approach is to be as loud as possible, both audibly and visibly. If we’re flyering in Edinburgh and you can’t hear us in Glasgow, we are not doing our jobs correctly. People will come to our show just to ask us to keep it down a bit. That’s when we lock the doors. Also a jaunty tune helps. “We gonna rock down to the Edinburgh Fringe, would you like a flyer?” (to the tune of Electric Avenue ofc)

Who would be your ultimate dream audience member?

Big Yeti Brian. We just want the world to know that he’s real, and also to say that he is proud of us boys.  Failing that, your mum. She’s always been supportive of us doing our own thing.
