EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Zach & Viggo

Tell us a bit about Dream Team.

Dream Team is still changing every day but we're trying to take the best bits of Thunderflop and follow the funny. Expect something more bombastic, energetic and chaotic. We've also moved away from audience participation in hopes of creating a show that's more consistent and refined.

What have you been up to since last year's Fringe?

We spent the past year touring across Europe, The US and Australia, while developing our debut solo shows and Dream Team. Some highlights include turning down a gig for the King of Sweden, a Louis CK after-party that resulted in us signing an NDA and Viggo winning an online poker competition to go to North Korea with Dennis Rodman.

What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?

One thing that we have going for us is that we're three straight, white men from the Western World... Which is something that's never been done before at the fringe.

Who would you recommend comes to see you?

If you're a fan of DR.Brown, Trygve Wakenshaw or Spencer Jones then there's a good chance you'll like our show. Our shows are pretty high energy, crazy and absurd, so if you like stuff that makes no sense, then this is for you. Other influences include- The Simpsons, rap music, ERIC ANDRE, Rick & Morty and cucumbers.

Are there any other shows you're hoping to catch at the festival?

Australia is absolutely dominating the fringe scene right now. They've got the two best cabaret performers on the circuit, Reuben Kaye and Betty Grumble, along with some heavy hitting comedians such as Tom Walker, Neal Portenza, Demi Lardner and Double Denim. And even though they're from New Zealand, Trygve Wakenshaw and Barnie Duncan will be bringing a collection of new shows. And if you're into music, there's an incredible band from LA heading to Cowgate called Thumpasaurus that's about to blow up.

Timings and ticket information for Zach and Viggo are available on the edfringe website.
