40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: In some of the smaller towns, it just stopped out. Yeah.

68
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: We stayed in some dodgy motors, dodgy pubs, but brilliant

69
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: pubs because there's such eclectic people living in these places,

70
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: you know, we met this crazy music from London who

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: was in the clash, and so what are you doing

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: in the desert?

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: Ridiculous? Yeah, really crazy.

74
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: He was literally in the clash.

00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and living in his in his eighties. Yeah, living

76
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: in this I can't remember where it was, this tiny town.

77
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: What a great story. You meet some cool people.

78
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool. But what are you like with criticism

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: if anyone. Yeah, there's been a little bit, a little

80
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: bit of stuff online which is ridiculous.

81
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Everyone loves a bit of criticism, feedback, feedback, keyboard worries

82
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: completely both positive support, of course. But yeah, per's amazing

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: for us. The fan base is epic, you know.

84
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: It's like London for us, very loyal on.

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they come back every year and we've got

86
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: heaps and new people that come back. So it's like

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: not to come back because haven't been, but people who

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,080

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: This she has done. Oh my gosh.

92
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: Luckily I end the show in a big bird bath, okay,

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: and the audience do get a little.

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Bit in the front, a little bit in.

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: The I had a friend who just had a hair

96
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: done and she brought a shower cap in front roads.

97
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: A bit dramatic that bath.

98
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did Nickers go? Because that was the other show, Nickers.

99
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: Nias Nickers has been in the pipeline for years. It's

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: our all female dream team of lesque, crazy full on

101
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: women that are just intense, you know. So we had

102
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: some headliners from UK and amazing Australian artists that we

103
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: put together and yeah, it was a crazy It was

104
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: only three nights, but it was such a well responded

105
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: piece that fees put together online.

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: So they all just did it online, you know.

107
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, amazing, awesome show, really good reviews and won

108
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: a weekly award.

109
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant. Yeah.

110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: I would imagine you're right there on the front line

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: to be able to gauge just how much the Fringe

112
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: festival has grown over the years.

113
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: The Fringe has gotten massive. I think it's the third

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: largest now in the.

115
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: World, like Edinburgh.

116
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive.

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 2: Pretty much. Yeah, it's pretty wild.

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: They've also pulled it back a little bit where I

119
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: think the concentrated sort of area, I think it's smart

120
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: to sort of have a hub, I guess, you know,

121
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: It's always great to have sort of satellite spots where

122
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: you can, you know, on the beach or wherever.

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: They used to do a few sort of satellite spots.

124
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: But the hub, I think is great because it does

125
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: bring everyone into this area where they've got this menu

126
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: of shows to choose from. You literally see them at

127
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: the front, just sort of which I think is such

128
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: a great culture. Tickets are available, great to encourage that.

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 4: Sometimes, at least when I have these moments every now

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: and then, we go, is this a pretty damn good job?

131
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: You know, then we're talking at Graham Nash from Crosbee

132
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: Stills Nat. But you must have times when you go,

133
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: this is work, this is.

134
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: And we're so lucky to you know, I turned fifty

135
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: this year and still doing my thing, and you know,

136
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: to have this as a career and a job that

137
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 3: we've created this company and you know, employing artists and

138
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 3: everyone's on good wages now and you know, we're getting

139
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: royalties and it's like that's hard, the hard work that

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: has paid very cool.

141
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cool, and.

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: That's doing that so many performers who will be doing

143
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 4: it and yeah maybe just just in front.

144
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: And we've learned a lot and it's like learned a

145
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: lot of the actual business side of things, which is

146
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: boring but it's actually so important important.

147
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: Well, the Aurora spiegle Ted is in the Pleasure Garden,
