Andrew Stanley does the Quick Quiz

1. What is your 2008 show all about?
It's about loads of different things like Good Friday, submarines, hairdressers and harpoons. Basically anything I have thought about in the last year or so...

2. Why should we come and see it?
Because I need to eat and the money I get from tickets would help me with that. Or, on a far less selfish level, if you like to laugh then you should come to it.

3. If your show was an Olympic sport, what would it be and why?
Wrestling - but WWE wrestling not the normal wrestling. That would be far better at the Olympics. In fact I think every event should have a 'smack talking' round beforehand that the judges have to score the competitors on.

4. What are you most looking forward to about this year's Festival?
Playing football in the Meadows. Eating Veggie Haggis and strangely named Neeps. Drinking til the sun comes up every morning. Oh and doing my shows of course :)

5. What are you least looking forward to about this year's Festival?
Drinking til the sun comes up every morning. Not getting any sleep. Inevitably losing my voice two and a half weeks in. Eating Deep Fried Mars Bars at 3 in the morning.

6. What advice would you have for someone trying to navigate the Fringe?
Get a map. Listen out for the best shows that your friends see. Look at edfringe.com for whats selling out early. Come to the Mish Mash for free biscuits every night.

7. What advice would you have for someone trying to survive the Fringe?
Go to as many shows as possible and even when you think you can't laugh anymore go to even more shows.

8. Describe your show in three words.
Hilarious, energetic, biscuits.
