QQ: Butt Boy and Tigger
The guys behind 'The Butt Boy And Tigger' do the Quick Quiz
1. What is your 2008 show all about?
Two young men hit the online chat scene in search of love, sex and excitement. Since they cannot physically meet they start playing out imagined torrid sex scenarios. then bring them to life for the audience to drool over. But there is a darker undercurrent at work.
2. Why should we come and see it?
Even though the actors keep their clothes, on the sex scenes are hilariously bawdy, and so over the top they become almost surreal. There's lots of funny one liners, but ultimately it's warm and touching. You don't need to be gay to appreciate it. Just have an open mind.
3. If your show was an olympic sport, what would it be and why?
The floor gymnastics followed by the 50 metre dash. These guys are all over the place.
4. What are you most looking forward to about this year's Festival?
Seeing every other show we can when not flyering, eating, drinking and maybe sleeping.
5. What are you least looking forward to about this year's Festival?
The 30 hour flight to get there. By touchdown in Edinburgh you may find is hanging from the overhead bin smothered by my empty Duty Free bags.
6. What advice would you have for someone trying to navigate the Fringe?
Check out where the Pleasance Dome is located then head straight to our show first. Then go see everything else. And make sure you buy the actors a drink after. Most of them have pawned a kidney to do this show.
7. What advice would you have for someone trying to survive the Fringe?
Make sure you have one kidney left for the return ticket, then buy a sleep mask for the long flight and some of the less exciting shows that obviously don't feature Butt Boy and Tigger.
8. Describe your show in three words
Furious, filthy, funny.
