Fringe: Lucie Pohl interview

NYC comedian Lucie Pohl, creator of the Fringe 2014 smash hit Hi, Hitler, is back this summer with Cry Me A Liver, her new “soul-twerking character comedy joyride”. In it, we meet a fame obsessed Sia wannabe, a philosophising Brooklyn bum, Putin’s sperm, a German mind and body healer with a serious crush on Benicio del Toro, and more.
AAA caught up with Lucie earlier this week for chat.
- How has your Fringe been so far?
Wunderbar.
- Tell us a bit about the show you’re in?
- What’s the audience reaction been so far?
One person got a rash in the shape of Jesus after my show but otherwise it’s been great.
- There’s thousands of shows on – why should Fringe-goers fork out to see yours?
Because no one else on the Fringe does an impression of Vladimir Putin’s sperm.
