- What is your Fringe show about?
The show is about my dad getting stopped at the Russian border in 2014. It's also about jam.
- How many times/many years have you appeared at the Fringe?
This will be my third Fringe!
- What’s your most memorable moment from the Fringe?
Once I brought a guy to a party with me and he stole the host's toothpaste. The host stopped the music and asked everyone where her toothpaste was. He fished it out of his blazer.
- What’s the worst thing about the Fringe?
The last two days make Edinburgh look like a heartbreaking post-apocalyptic landscape.
- If you were not a performer what would you be doing?
Is impersonating Ivanka Trump a job?
- How do you prepare for a performance?
I pee a lot.
- Favourite thing about being in Edinburgh?
Seeing so many sexy people lining up to see my show.
- What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve ever done?
Logarithms.
- Favourite Scottish food/drink?
Can't go wrong with a fried Mars bar soaked with your own tears (because it's your third of the night ;)
- Sum up your show in three words
Surprisingly. Quite. Good.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
