Published Date: 19 July 2008
A DRAG queen comedian has launched a talent competition to find a choir to perform with her at this year's Fringe.
Tina C, the comic creation of Chris Green, is looking for singers to provide backing for her country and western songs.

She is now set to hold X Factor-style auditions and has asked aspiring choirs to send her a five or ten-minute film of them performing, with the winner set to be chosen the week before the Fringe starts.

The comedian was heavily criticised in 2002 for a show which included songs about the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, and for a promotional shot which had her legs superimposed where the towers should be and a plane heading towards them.

Tina C's Tick My Box runs at the Udderbelly's Pasture venue from August 1 to 25.

I would not sing with "her" or go to see her, not because "she" is a Drag Queen, but because of her putting into supposed comedy the Twin Towers disaster. That was in no way funny. Period.Peope are still hurting over that.

Has the Fringe ticket fiasco put you off going to see shows at the festival?
Yes, I don’t want to risk losing money for nothing.
No, a little bit of hassle is worth the quality
I was already put off by unaffordable ticket prices
