QQ: Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre

Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre answer the ThreeWeeks Quick Quiz

1. What is your 2008 show all about?
It's our second year at Edinburgh and this time we are trying to do every single thing that might get us on the telly. So we have songs, we have a historical re-enactment of the Mods v the Rockers, we have Shakespeare's The Scottish play, we have a sitcom, we have a guest appearance by German band Kraftwerk who do improv, we... sound desperate don't we?

2. Why should we come and see it?
Because we are pure dead brilliant and everyone says so, eg ie for example The Scotsman who called us "a hoot" and The Stage who said we were "utterly irresistible".

3. If your show was an olympic sport, what would it be and why?
Our show would be Curling, cos that is our national sport (did we mention we're from Aberdeen?). We once played against a team made up of Chinese mafia families. They called themselves The Curling Tongs. Do you see what we did there..?

4. What are you most looking forward to about this year's Festival?
Not doing gags like that last one in our actual show.

5. What are you least looking forward to about this year's Festival?
The heat. Our venue gets a bit warm and, being socks, we can start to - if we may use a technical phrase here - ming after a few days.

6. What advice would you have for someone trying to navigate the Fringe?
Use a sextant. We're not entirely sure what it is, but it's the dirtiest sounding navigational tool so that'd be the one for us. You can avoid dodgy student revues by using Twat Nav.

7. What advice would you have for someone trying to survive the Fringe?
Obviously avoid too much food, and make sure you have your minimum of five drinks a day.

8. Describe your show in three words
Socks. Violence. Hosiery.
