AN INTERVIEW WITH COMEDIAN RICH FULCHER

Welcome to Impulse Gamer and thanks for being part of our Entertainment Magazine! 

1.  Why did you become a comedian?   I’m usually never serious so this is one of the few acceptable professions for that type of thing.    

2.  Who inspires you as a comedian and why?  Louis C.K inspires me for his honesty and Sam Simmons for his surreality. 

3.  Where do you get your material from?  A lot is drawn from my own life but as my life is getting more boring so eventually I will draw on someone else’s life.   

4.  Before going onto stage, do you have any rituals that you perform?  I masturbate on a broom.

6.  What do you look forward to at the Melbourne Comedy Festival?  Going to the HiFi Bar with a fistful of money and coming out with yeast. 

7.  Why should visitors to the Melbourne Comedy Festival see your show?  Because I will treat you all like adults and let you stay up late.
