Hello! Tell us about yourself?


We’re The Listies – we make comedy for Kidults – children and their adults.

Tell us all about your show!


It’s a show for kids and families about the impossible quest to leave the house on time! It’s a disaster comedy movie on stage….

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


Something as weird as the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Orchestra. Also, the good people who work at Palmyra Kebab.

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 (12 times) Drink water. Wear comfortable shoes, preferably on your feet.

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


Wake up. Eat Tunnocks Tea Cakes. Perform. Repeat.

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


Lidl.

Best thing about performing at the fringe?


The kids. The laughs. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

What is the hardest part about performing at the Fringe?


Making sure we squirt everyone in the crowd with our water pistols. And possibly the heartburn from the chips and curry sauce.

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


Our lucky pants. (Don’t ask.) also a wombat- don’t tell our Prime Minister.

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


Share wigs.

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


Proper gaffer tape (Nashua- iykyk) , banana, backup banana. 

What’s the secret to successful flyering?


Ask Olaf Felafel, the guy has fangled some printing magic where he is able to make a flip book from his pile of flyers. Bow down. The man is a god amongst flyerers.

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


We’re @thelisties on everything apart from X. 

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


Hilarious. Pandemonium. Pants.
