Sam Fletcher talks about his new show, Daftwerk.

1 Tell us about your Fringe show

It's a stupid showcase of my skills. From a range of my own inventions to a dance where I move a grape from my sleeve all the way to my trouser leg. 

2 Best thing about the Fringe?

The Summer weather.

3 Worst thing about the Fringe?

Flyers. Tons and tons of flyers.
4 How many years have you been coming to the Fringe?

I've been coming back for about 8 years now and every time it feels different but familiar. Like when mum gets a new haircut.

5 Favourite Fringe venue?

I once saw a show in a mobile toilet. Which was actually better than a lot of the venues up here.

6 Best Fringe memory?

My favourite Fringe memory was when I was told I'd been nominated for the newcomer award by Tim Key, who'd rushed across the meadows to let me know. He then bought me an Aperol spritzer, so you know, bitter-sweet memories.

7 Best heckle?

In 2012 I let a lady and her dog into my show (it was on the Free Fringe, so I was doing the door and thought it was a fun idea). 20 minutes into the show the dog started to dry retch very loudly, over and over again, so was taken out with his owner. It's hard to respond to that.

8 Craziest on stage experience?
See above.

9 What’s on your rider?
I bring my own rider that consists of an iphone charger, a felafal wrap and 30,000 M&Ms. 

10 How do you wind down after a show?

I fill the venue with hot water and have a bath. It annoys the people on after me.

11 What do you love about Scotland?
I've got a lot of love for Scotland. And the journey up on the train is one of the best views ever.

12 What do you like about Edinburgh?

I love a city that has a massive mountain right in the middle of it.

13 What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve done?
I will say yes to the weird, vinegary ketchup at the chip shops up here.

14 What kind of jokes do a Scottish crowd seem to respond to?
I do a lot of visual stuff, which seems to go down pretty well with the people who can see.

15 Favourite joke?

I went to my first ever Christening. Was a bit nervous and knocked over a candle. That was a baptism of fire.

16 Favourite Scottish food/drink?

The breakfast of champions: Tunnock's Wafer and an Irn Bru.

Sam Fletcher: Daftwerk is on at Underbelly, George Square until August 28.
