Giants: 10 Edinburgh Fringe questions

Giants answers 10 questions about their 2016 Edinburgh Fringe show...

Give us a quick overview of your comedy career so far. Are you happy with where you're at?

This is our debut show together, but we've actually known each other since birth as we were born two days apart. We started performing together at university roughly three years ago, so 2013. Lowlights include placing second in a rural talent competition on the Scottish coast. We lost to two six-year old girls performing traditional Highland Sword Dancing with little wooden sticks. Highlights include placing second in a rural talent competition on the Scottish coast, where we beat the man with the ponytail who sang the first three verses to the HMS Pinifore; beautifully, we should add.

Tell us two truths and one lie about yourself (but mix them up, keep us guessing!).

1. Barney was an uncredited voice actor in Dhoom 3, the highest internationally grossing Bollywood film of all time, voicing the parts of 'Old Man Whose Boat Is Stolen', 'American Bully #3' and 'Background Noise'. He was paid £5.

2. Will was the winner of the prestigious 'Waiter of the Month' award at the Admirable Crichton Catering Company in June 2012, then again in November 2015.

3. One of the above answers is a lie ;)

Describe your new show in exactly 23 words.

A show about friendship, growing up and how much you actually know the people around you. And pretending to be sick on things.

Any cunning plans to get more punters in?

Tell them the show costs less than it actually does. It normally makes the audience quite resentful and they generally laugh less, but at least they're there and it's a small room so it's very awkward for them (and us) if they decide to leave early.

What's your plan for trying to eat - and drink - healthily during the Fringe?

Our top tip for the fringe: eat fresh, eat clean. Will won't get on a stage until he's swallowed a raw yam.

What will you miss most while you're away from home?

Kettle bells and protein shakes. Gonna be missing sooo many leg days!

Aside from performing, what else are you looking forward to doing in Scotland's fine capital?

Watching some of the incredible comedy shows being put on like Good Kids: On Tap, The Oxford Revue: Hello You, Lolly 2, David Elms: Goody Boy etc etc

If you took over programming a Fringe venue, what would your perfect line-up of comedians be?

Andy Kaufman, Key & Peele, Danny Kaye, Amy Poehler and Malcolm Doherty from The Church of Malcolm (the best and weirdest show we've ever seen at the Fringe).

Name the one person you'd rather not bump into during the festival.

Julia Hartley-Brewer because she's grim.

Why should audiences pick your show over the 1,800+ other Fringe offerings listed on BCG this year?

Because it's silly and fun.

'Giants' is at Pleasance Courtyard at 3:15pm until the 28th August. Listing
