Edinburgh Moment: I’d Do Anything to Get an Audience

I’d quite like my naked image projected on to the Castle in a Gail
Porter-type publicity stunt, but I’m not sure my mother would ever
forgive me. She’s Catholic, believes one should dress conservatively,
and is an architecture geek. So it would be an insult on a number of
levels.

Then there is the standard Royal Mile publicity stunt, which I think in
my case would involve walking out with my blow-up dolls – but they are
a little shy.

I did also think about approaching Durex and asking them to sponsor the
show so that we could hand out condoms to the audience, but it seemed
like a rather unlikely tale – “Hi. I’m doing a show about sex and I
wondered if you could give me a year’s supply of condoms free of
charge?” Also, you are then faced with the depressing prospect of
having many more condoms than you could ever hope to use up. And whilst
I’m all for a challenge, that might be one barrier I just can’t breach.

Gemma Goggin will perform her show Gemma Goggin: Get
Laid or Die Trying at Gilded Balloon from 4 to 31 August at
13.30.
