1. How would you describe your company?
The Noise Next Door are an energetic comedy troupe who turn short-form improvisation into fast paced, gag-fuelled comedy for the masses, not just improv fans.
2. Describe your show in 9 words.
Comedy without maths.
3. Nine essential items you packed to bring to the Fringe.
A lightweight waterproof coat – it rains here.
A good book – for the TV-less flat.
Multi-vits – gotta keep that immune system rocking on.
Brightly coloured ties – otherwise we’d have to perform looking like waiters.
Sanderson Throat Specific Mixture – a dastardly medicine to save our voices.
Martin the raven – moral support.
T-shirt with Trainspotting opening monologue on it – to TOTALLY fit in.
A diary – to be filled with our emotional journey.
A strict diet plan – fried food, fried food, cake.
4. Describe an ideal day for you at the Fringe
Waking up around 11, grabbing a traditional Scottish breakfast, catching a few shows of varying qualities, not having to flyer (now that would be ideal), rocking out a show to a packed house then hitting a bar somewhere and making friends with total strangers.
5. First nine words spoken in your show
Earth has been destroyed, we’re the only known survivors…
6. Describe the ideal audience member for your show.
Michael Clarke Duncan
7. What has been your funniest experience (intentional or otherwise) on stage?
At the Brighton Fringe in 2008 we were improvising a scene in which Ghengis Kahn had his head chopped off. Ghengis (white tied Charlie) slammed his head onto a cabaret style table in the front row of the audience to represent a grizzly death and then… well, his head caught on fire. It turned out the table he had chosen had been home to a little tealight candle which, when mixed with excessive styling wax, set his hair ablaze causing mild screaming from the audience. Matt (green) and Tom (yellow) didn’t miss a beat and included the extinguishing of his head into the scene.
8. Can you describe your show as a :- food, drink, smell, colour, animal, a school subject, a sound, a form of clothing and a piece of stationery?
Pick ‘n’ Mix, limited edition vanilla Coca-Cola, fresh laundry, cerulean, honey badger, bushcraft, “mewaaaaa”, ties, naked man pen where when you write he’s got clothes on but when you turn it up he doesn’t have any clothes on.
9. Can you recommend another show you have either heard about or have already seen?
The Penny Dreadful’s show The Never Man is ace. If you can get tickets, get tickets.
