Scottee caught up with the Eat Your Heart Out collective ahead of their new show Violence at The RVT. Over a cup of tea and biscuits he found out how violent the performers he shares a dressing room really are.

RR: What's the most violent thing you've ever done?
Miss Annabel: Tried to kill myself (start with a corker), I was 29 and I was a wreck and spent an afternoon deciding the best method but now I've realized the most effective is not to bother - thinking those thoughts are more violent than the action.
Masumi: Strangled my younger sister with the cat flap when she put her face out of it.
Scottee: When I was 12, I had a fight with my neighbor Allen - I threw a rock at his head - he repaid the gesture with a punch to my lip and I gained my first fat split lip.
Nando Messias: Thrown the contents of my glass in someone's face!
Spencer Wood: I beat someone up that really wasn't in a position to put up a decent fight.
Scottee: Spencer - thats a bit dark!

RR: Who would get your celebrity bullet and why? Oh hell, let's cut to the chase - more to the point - which celebrity would you kill?
Spencer: Richard Madeley from Richard & Judy. I hate that man.
Miss Annabel: Close call between Sian Lloyd and Eamonn Holmes but i think Sian would tip it with her annoying hands when presenting the weather.
Nando: Lady Gaga.
Masumi: Any Japanese Pop Idol . they get my nerves!!

RR: When was the last time you drew blood?
Masumi: I was 18 and I was bitten by my dog in the mouth, back of my head and my nose (in fact he bite off bit of my lip aparently)
Miss Annabel: When I was 12 I got my thumb caught in my Mums car door and flattened it. Blood poured out, we looked at it for 10mins and then the pain kicked in.
Scottee: Thats horrid Annabel! - When I was performing at the Roundhouse last year I slipped off the stage and into a crash barrier, this beautiful fall gained me a broken wrist and 9 stitches to the head. The highlight was being covered in blood, in drag in A&E.

RR: If you were a cereal killer what would you name be and what would be your specialized subject?
Scottee: I would de feminize my victims, cutting out/off their uterus, mammaries and childbearing hips and sew them on to outfits. My name would be know as The Slit Slicer
Masumi: I really cant think of any ... i'm too nice to come up with an idea.

RR: Religion or Gun Crime - which is more violent?
Miss Annabel: Religon
Spencer: Religion
Scottee: Religon
Nando: Gun Crime

RR: What makes you violent?
Nando: Ignorance.
Miss Annabel: Me too! ignorance and people who say 'crips' instead of crisps.
Scottee: injustice and too much coffee
Spencer: Alcohol and the way i was brought up. People that think they better than you.
Masumi: People - in general.

Violence opens at the RVT on 1st, 2nd and 3rd December. £5/£8.
