This Glorious Monster: 10 Edinburgh Fringe questions

This Glorious Monster 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?

It's been a great three years since we started out. Having focused on filming things for our YouTube channel for the first couple of years, our live show is something we're now really proud of. Two of us are 40 years young and the other two are well on their way, which means we're working as hard as possible before we lose full bladder control.

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

1. When we first met, Daniel wore a hoodie with a doily embroidered on it.

2. Adam's number one ambition in life is to make his own sword.

3. Martin once killed a taxi driver.

Describe your new show in exactly 23 words.

From depraved driving instructors to sadistic HR ladies, Wrong'uns is a universe inhabited by the gloriously monstrous characters that surround us all everyday.
