Talking With Tim Lee - Scientist Turned Comedian

During the build-up to the 2011 IndyFringe Festival, FringeTalk interviewed some of the key performers to get insight into their stories, their audience and the Fringe itself. Here is what happened when we sat down with Scientist Turned Comedian's Tim Lee.

1. If you could present your show to just one person, who would it be and why?
I've done the show for just one person. When that guy got up to have a smoke I had no idea what to do.

2. List 3 words that truly sum up your show.
Funny, clean, cerebral

3. What is the best way for theater-goers to stay informed about your latest productions?
You can add me on facebook (facebook.com/youtubecomedian) or check out my website at youtubecomedian.com.

4. How does fringe theater benefit you as a theater artist/performer?
I spent many years in academia so I'm willing to work for grad student wages.

5. What is the funniest line in your play?
Facebook is more popular than Google because Facebook knows what everyone is interested in ... themselves.

6. Where do you see yourself in a year’s time?
Hosting a show for National Geographic.

7. Why IndyFringe?
A great reputation and a great team to work with. Plus it's a lot of fun!
