Hello! Tell us about yourself?

Hello I am Helen Bauer, a stand up comedian with a lovely set of breasts and a charming way about me. I hope.

Tell us all about your show!

It’s the first time I have done a show when I don’t want to say anything or give anything away. It’s about love and ummmm ghosts. Actually it’s about me, it is all about me.

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

Magic acts. All I ever want to watch is magic

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.

I have. This will be my fourth show. Drink water. Remember to drink water. Then if you remember that go to the toilet before going to watch a show.

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

Get up drink water, do shows and watch shows and of course use the toilet.

Ok, where is your favourite place to eat at the Fringe?

A Malaysian restaurant called Kampong Ah Lee is the absolute best!

Best thing about performing at the fringe?

The vibes are off the charts, I think it’s partly because everyone is a bit broken, performers, staff, audience so we all have to BRING IT!

What is the hardest part about performing at the Fringe?

WE ARE ALL A BIT BROKEN and no one has drunk enough water and there are not enough toilets.

Do you bring anything special from home to make it feel more special whilst you are away?

I always bring like three books which is so stupidly ambitious.

What are your best hacks to save money whilst at the Fringe?

Have no money to spend when you go up, if you are broke then you are just broke.

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

A WATER BOTTLE just take that please.

What’s the secret to successful flyering?

There is no secret, I’m sorry you have to do it if you do. It is hard and thankless.

If people want to find out more about you where can they follow you on social media?

YouTube, Insta, TikTok @HelenBaBauer

And Finally in three words – Why should people come and see the show?

You simply must.
