BIG TIME Daily Late Night with Emily K. Harrison and Special Fringe Guests

Every evening when Fringe performances end, the night comes alive at BIG TIME Daily!  It’s the place where Fringe audience members, artists and crew can come together to kick back with a cold beverage and enjoy this informal variety show of performances and interviews with our very own Fringe performers.  Hosted by local producer, director and performer, Emily K. Harrison, BIG TIME Daily is not only riddled with comedy, live music and unpredictable Fringe antics, it is the perfect opportunity to sample the festival’s offerings with live performances by different Fringe artists every night, as well as exclusive, behind the scenes interviews.  So come on down and enjoy a cherished Fringe tradition!

BIG TIME Daily Schedule:

Thursday, Aug 18th - Fringe Survival Guide

Bring a water bottle and a compass tonight, baby. And some clean underwears. We’re going to talk about how to make it through the whole Fringe without wiping out.
Wanna win stuff? On a piece of paper, define “survival.” Bring your answer to BIG TIME Daily tonight. Best definition wins a prize!

Friday, Aug 19th - Virgin Sacrifice

Bring a Fringe virgin and win a prize! Sure, it’s a bit mercenary, but you’re a sucker for a prize (and we’ll even give your virgin a chance to win a Fringe pass for two)! 
Offer them up! On a piece of paper, write a couple sentences about, you know, your first time.

Saturday, Aug 20th - Speed Fringing

It’s time for America’s favorite pastime: Speed Fringing! That’s right, take a number, sit down with a total stranger and get to know the artists! Way better than speed dating because you (probably) aren’t at much risk of waking up with these jokers. Fill out the provided form so we can match you up appropriately.
Wanna Speed Fringe? Pick up a Speed Fringe form from the back of a 2011 Fringe Printed Program Guide and bring it to BIG TIME Daily tonight.

Sunday, Aug 21st - Secret Talent Show

We’re looking for secret talents! Are you well-known as a comedian? Show off your yodeling skills. Famous for doing serious drama? Show us how well you can tie cherries into knots with your tongue. Singer by trade? Wow us with your ability to paint like Picasso, blindfolded.
Wanna show off? Bring a hidden talent, ready to share! Prizes will be issued!

Monday, Aug 22nd - The Greatest Story Never Told (Except By Your Mom)

Every kid humiliates their parents at some point. Tell your favorite childhood tale of embarrassing your folks. Public mortification preferred. Best story wins a beer so you can carry on your tradition of public disgrace.
Get it out! Share your story, win booze. Maybe.

Tuesday, Aug 23rd - Fake Mustache Olympics

Tonight, folks, we’re having a mustache contest at BIG TIME Daily. But not just any mustache contest — because what kind of Fringe event would have a regular old, dowdy, traditional, mustache contest? — no, this is a fake mustache contest. Sport your best fake whiskers for a chance to win a prize.
Bonus! On a scrap of paper, draw a tiny celebrity with a fake mustache.

Wednesday, Aug 24th - Spoof Night

They say mockery is the greatest form of flattery. Or something like that. Come watch Fringe artists and fans spoof other Fringe shows. (lovingly, of course!) Let Emily know ahead of time if you want to do a spoof.
Spoof Yourself! On a piece of paper, write something that most people make fun of you for.

Thursday, Aug 25th - What I Shoulda Said

Remember that time that person said or did that thing to you, and your only comeback was, “Oh, yeah? Um, well…” Here’s your opportunity to say that thing you shoulda said. No backstory. No explanation. Just a snappy comeback that would’ve put them in their place… if you had thought of it… at the time.
That’ll show ‘em! Come prepared to share your snappiest comeback.

Friday, Aug 26th - The Greatest Pitch Never Sold (Except To… Your Mom)

Ever had a great idea for a show that you know will never get made because you’ll never have that kind of budget, pyrotechnics or special effects? Share your dream with us! Best pitch gets a pitcher… of water, but with that kind of imagination, you can convince yourself it’s beer.
Dream Big! Pitch your fantasy project.

Saturday, Aug 27th - Staff Appreciation

Know where you’d be without your techs, your volunteers, your Fringe staffers and organizers? Yes, you’d be outside in the dark, wondering what it all means. Come on down tonight with hand-written love letters to the people making this whole deal happen and we’ll put them in a little cardboard mailbox like it’s Valentine’s Day in the fourth grade.
Love the Fringe! Bring valentines for your favorite Fringe staffers.
