10 Quick Qs – Philip Escoffey

1. What, where, when and how much?

6 Impossible Things Before Dinner
Umbrella Revolution at the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
7pm. $28-$38

2. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less:

Pitting my skills against the claims of psychics to try and achieve 6 impossible things.

3. A quote/moment that stands out from your show?

It’s a big secret but if you watch people coming out of the venue at the end of the show, you’ll see what genuine astonishment looks like.

4. Is heckling allowed?

Sure but if they can do it psychically, that would be splendid.

5. What is your role in the show?

Mind reader, host, conman and show off.

6. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Radio talk show host.

7. If you could put on (or be in) any show/band in the world, which one would it be?

Anything involving Dr Brown.

8. Why would someone not come see your show?

Because they haven’t got at least $28.

9. In your opinion, what is the worst show/movie you’ve ever seen and why?

I’m not sure if it’s the worst but more recently Gravity left me wondering what all the fuss was about. Interminable nonsense.

10. Besides your show, what’s your pick for the Fringe/Garden?

I can only imagine that Dr Brown and Sam Simmons in the same room is something that won’t be quickly forgotten. I’ve not seen it yet but I can hardly wait.
