Kurt from Neutrino

Kurt from Neutrino's live improvised movie

What is your show all about?

It's a fully improvised movie, shot, edited, scored, and screened for you live, while you watch it. Nothing like it has ever existed and it is V funny.

Where and when can we see it?

Every day at 20:45 at the Gilded Baloon Teviot Debating Hall.

Do you love Edinburgh or is it a chore?

We're so excited to come to Edinburgh its hard to sleep at night. I can't wait to hear all the funny accents and to drink lots of Scotch. But I've been warned to say no if anyone offers me a "Glasgow Handshake." I hear its a head butt. That's funny.

What will you be doing with the other 23 hrs of the day?

Well, I'm sure we'll be promoting ourselves as much as possible, being the good media whores we are. But I personally am planning on hitting up some surfing at Peas Bay when there's a good swell. I'm also looking forward to buying a bike and exploring the countryside. I'm also interested in visiting the Garden of Cosmic Speculation at Portrack Garden - but I'm not sure if that's a popular destination - I just read a book on it and it seems fascinating.

What's the best thing you've ever seen on the fringe?

Haven't seen anything yet, but I'm looking forward to it...

What's the worst thing you've seen?

Eh..

What's the most curious thing that's happened to you in Edinburgh?

More later!

If you could persuade one VIP to come to your show who would it be? Why?

I'd love to get Tony Blair and then we could include him in the show. We would do a scene where I wear a George Bush mask and we could go out on a dinner date. Who would pick up the tab?

If the Edinburgh fairy could grant your wish, what would your wish for?

That lots of people come see our show! (But I'm sure that's every performer's wish.) My second wish would be that I could become friends with a real dragon who would give me a tour of Scotland and get people to some to see the show by breathing fire over the theatre like a spotlight. But it wouldn't be all touring and promotion with my friendly dragon - there'd also be the small moments I'd treasure like that one time he tried to light my cigarette and burnt my eyebrows off, or the time he told me that his dream was to be an airline attendant. Or just those moments over a cup of tea (his is a large bucket) where our silence speaks volumes. Oh friendly dragon, why won't you call?

What advice do you have for first time Edinburgh punters?

What's a punter? In the US that sounds like a slur. A funny slur, but still a slur.
