In this series, get to know your 2010 Philly Fringe artists.

After the jump, meet Jeff Soles and Mala Wright, two performers from Wawapalooza 4: Damaged Goods.

Name: Jeff Soles

Age: 28

Where do you live now? Scenic Lower Bucks County

Where were you born? Gotham City

What was the first thing you stole?
A Marilyn Manson t-shirt. And I had to keep it in my locker at school because I wasn’t allowed to wear it or even listen to him. Which made me love him even more.

What’s your favorite alcoholic beverage?
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. If the bar is all out of Blowjobs, that is.

What was the last performance you saw?
The Irish and How They Got That Way

What’s your favorite Philly intersection?
I’d say 18th and Shunk. Inside joke for those that went to the first Wawapalooza show. Or just the cast.

What’s the worst thing you ever did for money?
Work a full time job.

Who’s your favorite Phillies player? Lenny Dykstra. He was the shit. He used to have a whole circle in the outfield where he spit his tobacco. Bad ass.

Do you have relatives more famous than you? Who are they?
My cousin was in a genital warts commercial once.

Do you have pets? If so, what are their names?
I have a pet rat that lives behind my toilet. His name is Dick.

Name: Mala Wright

Where do you live now? Trenton, New Jersey

Where were you born? Trenton, New Jersey

What’s your favorite alcoholic beverage? Long Island Ice Tea

What was the last performance you saw?
A screening of Finders Keepers, a web series where I have a supporting role. It screened at The International House in Philadelphia.

What’s your favorite Philly intersection?
15th and Market. Right across from the gigantic clothespin.

Do you have relatives more famous than you? Who are they?
Yes, I do. I am related to Nia Long and Sommore. Our grandmothers are sisters.

What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever seen on SEPTA?
Once I was on the 127 bus and this guy got on and he had feces smeared on his shirt. Now, I don’t even have to begin to tell you how nasty he looked and smelled. What a relief it was when he stepped off.

SEPTA, we kid because we love you. Seriously, dear readers, take SEPTA. Then you cackle at aggro drivers. Wawapalooza 4: Damaged Goods runs September 3 through September 5, and September 9 through September 11. Society Hill Playhouse, 507 South 8th Street, Society Hill. Various times, $15.
