The Birmingham-based comedy sketch troupe The SideShow Society are established as a firm Comedy Festival favourite with their slightly surreal and very English character driven performances that bring to mind Little Britain and League of Gentlemen.
 They appear at the MAC on Tuesday 28 September as a Festival Preview. Mark Logan answers the questions. HOW DID YOU GET INTO COMEDY? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PERFORMING? Ever since I first disrobed in front of a female. WHAT ARE YOUR COMIC INFLUENCES? Drink, drugs & rock 'n' roll. FAVOURITE COMEDY FILM AND WHY? Titanic. Reminds me of classic 'Carry On's' - the cast ALL go down. FAVOURITE COMEDY TV SERIES AND WHY? Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - James Dreyfuss is SO cute! HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BRAND OF COMEDY? It looks like this C & is branded on my right buttock. WHICH COMEDIANS DO YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE? George W - Very, very, very funny & SO deadpan. Oh, & my comrades in Sideshow Society. ANY INTERNESTING EXPERIENCES OF PLAYING IN THE CITY BEFORE? Yes, but not since I received the restraining order, now I do it in the suburbs. HIGH-POINT OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR? Starring in Star Wars Episode III. LOW-POINT OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR? My attempts at providing amusing/witty answers to this Q&A. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? Finishing this Q&A. WORST HECKLE? 'You're brilliantly funny & incredibly inventive' - it just didn't work for me as a heckle. Quite lame. For more information see: www.sideshowsociety.com |
