The Chris Dangerfield Three Minute Interview

For the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Chris Dangerfield has decided to take on perhaps the most taboo subject of them all. Dangerfield: Sex With Children promises to address that taboo head on. As the Fringe brochure states, ‘This isn't a play on words, it's about sex with children.’

Full of LSD and CRACK I lost my virginity to a girl with no hands and a broken back. This barrel of laughs was just waiting to be poured all over Edinburgh, so that’s what my show will do.

When I was an anaemic, jaundiced, and bed-wetting eleven year old, a magician sexually abused me. At 12 years old, high on glue and on a day-trip to Calais with the school, I masturbated a French man so I could buy some porno playing cards and a flick-knife. A family friend called June used to bite and sniff my anus, and then give me money. Allah married a child. Some religions suck the fresh blood from the infant male’s freshly circumcised penis but they’re trying to put a stop to it as the children are getting Herpes. A school teacher taught me about domination and premature ejaculation, but I was 13 so it might not have been that premature when you think about it. Full of LSD and CRACK I lost my virginity to a girl with no hands and a broken back. This barrel of laughs was just waiting to be poured all over Edinburgh, so that’s what my show will do.”

Tell us about your involvement with Heroes of Fringe & Bob Slayer.

“I’ve been involved with Heroes of Fringe since Bob Slayer asked me to do his venue three years ago. My show was packed out and I was turning people away every night. It was nice because I am very lazy and full of drugs so just having to turn up and be funny appealed to me. He then asked me to do last year, to which I agreed. But by then I was even lazier and full of even more drugs so I never turned up.”

How do you describe your comedy to people who haven’t seen you before?

“I had sex with a dead girl once, etc.”

If you were to write a book of your life so far, what would it be called?

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this article has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
