Hello! Tell us about yourself?
Howdy! The name’s Will BF, narrative sketch comedian to the stars!
Tell us all about your show!
So this year I’m doing the so-called ‘dirty double’ of two shows – both of ’em are narrative sketch shows that exploring very very definitely truly REAL films – that you’ve probably seen but just forgot about… They have a NEW AND UNIQUE ‘live docucomedy’ format, wherein the sketch comedy happens in and around vox pops on an onstage TV – it’s a lot of fun and it lets me do some really cool things that I think makes the show really one of a kind! Well I guess two of a kind now…
How did you come up with the name of your show that your taking to the fringe?
For The Last Gun, it was basically: how could I make the most ridiculous western. Taking all violence and every gun (okay fine: all except one gun) out of the wild wild western just seemed like a really silly way to parody westerns!
What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?
I’m looking forward to seeing Bishops, The Defectors and Bad Clowns (including Christian Dart – who I’ve heard is apparently “a lot nicer in person than you would think”)
Best thing about performing at the fringe?
The women! So many amazing female theatre-makers, performers and comedians all shining like the stars they are!
What would be your top three items every performer must take to the fringe?
Pants x3
(I forgot all my pants last year: true story)
what’s the secret to successful flyering?
SMILING!
Which for the uninitiated stands for: Stand upright. Mask your emotions. Initiate pleasant face. Lie. Incline your head by 45º to appear approachable. Never take ‘no’ for an answer. Give out a flier every minute or no dinner.
If people want to find out more about you where can they follow you on social media?
Twitter and instagram @willbfff – the extra F’s stand for funny!
And Finally in three words – Why should people come and see the show?
I love you.
