Tomorrow I feast! hdfst.uk/e144634 This audience made Pierce Brosnan say he wanted me to tear him open and devour his succulent stuffing. What will you make him say? ✨

3 days to go! 💕

last chance to get Monster Garden on the RPG Maker sale! store.steampowered.com/app/719660/M...

Had an amazing time as a mermaid performing for Koselig Cabaret - an amazing variety night in a tent by a lake with a roaring fire! They didn't have a projector so I got the audience to make objects with toilet roll tubes and gaffer tape to inspire my opening song 😊

One week to go!! ✨💕

The Mark of Zorro

Had an amazing time performing The Incredible Playable Show for Yorkshire Games Festival today. A very excitable and enthusiastic audience who were really up for running about to play some unusual video games in a cinema. Also amazing to get to perform in a 300 seat cinema on a MASSIVE screen 😄

Made a little stop motion video at Yorkshire Games Festival today 😀 I like that filming it on a shaky handheld camera somehow makes it look better than it did on the original tablet 😄

Loving this interview with @add-hawk.bsky.social about how scoring metrics have influenced what we value in the world and in ourselves. youtu.be/yd24EuQeJtI Really resonates with me and why I make participatory shows the way I do

Heya :) I'd love to get some feedback on my flyer design as I look forward to fringe shows in the summer. Here's my most recent show flyer. Does anyone have any thoughts on it?

A reminder this it tomorrow! A great way for older kids and teens to have a go at making and designing games, and thinking outside the box with unusual hardware

A version of Toy Story where Buzz Lightyear doesn't realise he's a toy and gets a normal job in an office and nobody questions it

BRISTOL!! I'm performing My Date with Pierce Brosnan on Thursday 26 Feb! hdfst.uk/e144634 Plus support act The Brothers Grin, who create improvised fairy tales from pictures you draw before the show! 🌈🏰✨

DID YOU KNOW behind Pierce Brosnan's face is a cropped copy of that same face again. Originally when the devs replaced a damaged face they would take it off and attach a new one with safety pins...

This Monday I'm running a workshop at @pmstudiouk.bsky.social in Bristol! www.watershed.co.uk/studio/event... Are you aged 11-16? Come along and learn how to make games with barcode scanners! ✨

Mademoiselle Cafetiere left her celebrity beau to pursue a career in the arts Five years later she is Prima Ballerina of the Royal Ballet, interpreting the great works of art... as drawn by viewers on Twitch 💕 One of my favourite parts of last night's stream 😄 www.twitch.tv/videos/26939...

Thanks everyone who came to the stream! As you can see Pierce Brosnan had a very good time 😊

Going live! ✨

Got the photos back from my stint as a ballerina from Lost Cabaret's resident photographer www.instagram.com/samsnapsalot Love this photo of me trying to interpretively dance being a pink burger 😄

That was so much fun! Turns out I am incredibly rusty, but I did manage to get a run under 1 hour 😄 Come back tomorrow for some interactive clowning! ✨

Hopping onto Twitch to play some Boss Rush Shuffler! It's Sonic but every time I hit a boss it switches me to another game 😀 Come join me! twitch.tv/agAitcheson

Thanks so much everyone who came to my London show yesterday! I had the most incredible time - the audience were amazing, so up for joining in! 🧡 I can safely say we turned the stage upside down. I even gained a backing band 😄🎶

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

I love this game. Could gush for ages about how it plays with changing how you see an image, taking focus away from details and into use of space, or even as data Reminds me of the old Neil Buchanan adage "draw what you see, not what you think you see" - art-making as a process of learning to see

Come to my London show tomorrow for a chance to win an incredible and unique prize! A SIGNED PHOTO OF PIKACHU 🤩

🎶 Thinking about to-morrow 🎶 bet your bottom dollar that 🎶 tomorrow 🎶 will be fun! www.ticketsource.co.uk/alistair-ait...

2 days to go! 🧡

This Friday! Come and see it 😀 And if you have friends in London please invite them! Mixing clown improvisation and video games has been my dream for years and it's been amazing to finally create a show which does that. It'd be amazing to get to share it with lots of people 😊

Amazing time at @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social last week getting to perform in one of London's most iconic queer venues 😀 Certainly one of the most chaotic performances I've ever done. The audience did not hold back, giving me the most outrageous date with Pierce Brosnan I've ever had 😂

Showtime this Friday! Not long to get your tickets! 😊 www.ticketsource.co.uk/alistair-ait...

Had an amazing time as a ballerina at Lost Cabaret in Bristol 😁 I get the audience to draw pictures on their phones and come up with a dance inspired by each one. Not pictured: me rolling on the floor pretending to be an orange 🍊

A fun day trying out a new interactive show at the Bristol Improv Theatre. This show is based on The Little Mermaid and is called LEG DAY. The Sea Witch is jealous of the Mermaid's beautiful tail and plans to steal it with the help of the audience! ✨😱✨

This Friday! Come and see it 😀 And if you have friends in London please invite them! Mixing clown improvisation and video games has been my dream for years and it's been amazing to finally create a show which does that. It'd be amazing to get to share it with lots of people 😊

✅making games is a communal effort that requires the specialized labor of many different fields. ✅making games is a solo artistic journey where one person stubbornly creates everything on their own. 👍👍both ways are artistically relevant, and bring different things to the table.

shout about all our victories, because our oppressors want us hopeless. we are going to win over and over again

Amazing night last night at Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London - the wildest audience I've ever had! They made Pierce Brosnan *incredibly* forward and of course Cafetière responded in kind. He now has a date with the sewing machine 😂 Thanks so much for having me @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social 💖

I was interviewed by @noproscenium.com about my upcoming interactive clown show www.noproscenium.com/coming-soon-... It was lovely to get to tell them all about the show, why I love clown and how technology enables everyone in the audience to be just as mischievous as me 😊
