QQ: Justin Moorhouse
Mr Moorhouse answers those Quick Quiz questions
1. What is your 2008 show all about?
My show is all about me culling my address book. I'm getting rid of my mates, wiping out the dead wood and clearing out the clutter of of contacts.
2. Why should we come and see it?
Because by the end of this process I'M GOING TO NEED SOME NEW FRIENDS.
3. If your show was an olympic sport, what would it be and why?
The shot putt, because I'm a big man who goes round and round in circles before a huge effort towards the end accompanied by a large grunt.
4. What are you most looking forward to about this year's Festival?
The second week, when you start to enjoy it and you realise the only important thing is if people are laughing.
5. What are you least looking forward to about this year's Festival?
The classic 'over the shoulder' Pleasance Courtyard look. You'll be speaking to someone and then you'll realise they aren't really listening to you but in fact they are trying to grab the attention of the famous person stood twenty yards away.
6. What advice would you have for someone trying to navigate the Fringe?
Planning is key. And money, oh and accomodation, don't arrive here like I did as a visitor in 1999 and think "ah - it'll be easy to get a hotel room".
7. What advice would you have for someone trying to survive the Fringe?
Don't make a big deal about it, it's only entertainment, people in this city tonight are dying from terrible diseases,
8. Describe your show in three words
Pleasance seven fifteen.
