GBA 249 Mark Dean Quinn

In GBA 249 we get better acquainted with Mark Dean Quinn. He talks about trying not to make people laugh, making people laugh, the art of flyering, having a complicated relationship with audiences, how being in recovery from gambling addiction and going fly fishing with his father have both influenced him to make to the kind of comedy he makes and feeling truly himself inside the transitory space that is Edinburgh during festival season.
