Genevieve Giuffre

The Melbourne Fringe in three words.
ABSOLUT–LEE–EREBODY

A favourite Melbourne Fringe memory.
I remember seeing The unspoken word is ‘Joe’ at La Mama in 2012 and loved it. What a Fringe Bizarre!

Your experience as an independent artist being part of the Melbourne Fringe.
I haven’t done a Melbourne Fringe yet! Hoping for 2018.

What makes the Melbourne Fringe unique?
The fresh Melbourne/Sydney/Straya talent!

Your advice for choosing what to see in the Melbourne Fringe.
Go through the manual/web site and follow your hunch. You may only get one chance to see The marriage of kim k (a new opera based on The Marriage of Figaro.)

Do you think there’s a better system than star ratings for reviews?
Maybe a flavour chart? I really liked in Edinburgh when performers would say, “This shows not for everyone but if you know someone who’d love it, spread the word!”

Five shows/events that you will not miss at the 2017 Melbourne Fringe.
Let’s get Practical! Live. Presented by The Very Good Looking Initiative
Betty GRUMBLE: Sex Clown Saves the World
The Super Queer Murderess Show. A marginalia of fatal femmes
