What are you looking forward to the most at Fringe?

I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to do comedy in a new country to an international audience and see if what works in America can work abroad. 

Tell me about American Two in One Comics. It’s part of the free programme at the Fringe and you’re a couple of American comics. So, what’s it all about?

Mark and I are bringing a NYC-styled comedy show to Scotland! it’s a two-man show where we are each bringing the best half-hour of material that we have built up over the last few years traveling across the United States. 

Life is pretty awful right now, but also hilarious in many ways. What, or who, makes you laugh?

Life is not awful it’s all about your perspective! 

Two comics, two stand-up sets, two egos! Should audiences expect fireworks?

My goal is to hate Mark by the end. I want us to slowly grow to resent each other over the course of the festival until we end up never speaking again. 

What’s next for the two of you?

Packing our bags and heading out to Scotland!
