A brew and a few. Very pleasurable.

Well worth an hour and a half of your time. www.stewartlee.co.uk/mp3/the-alex... One bit stood out, Music Hall as working class surrealism. There's also a review of Morecambe and Wise from 1973 that they discuss: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

@jonburkeuk.bsky.social I thought I'd save you having to reply to people by simply copying the below, thus giving you time for more homely pursuits of bread baking etc Albeit that the letters are from that humour beast, Viz, they read exactly like those opposed to good common sense. I thank you.

Turner: Always Contemporary Walker Art Gallery My mate and I had our quarterly art visit and frames seemed to be a talking point. The bombing of Liverpool painting brought stories of older parents getting themselves and siblings under the stairs. Generations living under the shadow of a bomb.

Here's a blast from the past - '90s Brit occultists discussing the esoteric significance of numbers.

Oh god, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is heartbreakingly beautiful 😭 #Frankenstein

🎭 Big Improbable news: Matilda Leyser is now Co-Artistic Director! After years as Associate Director, performer, writer & Open Space champion — she joins Phelim & Lee in leading the company. “It may still be weird, or wild, but it won’t be lonely.” Read her beautiful reflection 👉 buff.ly/2kzlE9X

He doesn't know if it will end up happening but they're working on it now

I will stand by my idea until the sun burns out.

Erm, this is a corker! Bear in mind I'm only half way through, that's how good it is. Listening to this at the same time as the mobs decended on London yesterday, feels particularly apt and mirroring. shows.acast.com/blindboy/epi...

I look up theatre shows across the country and (especially I'm London), there's so many I'd like to experience but, (quick whinge), train fares!!! It's the wrong way 'round. Cheaper travel and more money into the arts. Maybe I should become a travelling hypnotist, offing solutions for board.

'Ti's the season, improv people. Come to Liverpool! www.liverpoolimprovfestival.com #Impro #Improv #LIF #thepooloflife

Hello, I'm working on a new piece of improv, which is horror themed. I'm going to dive back into Mark Gatiss' A History of Horror but I'm wondering do you have any other recommendations, documentaries and the likes? Thanks!

Saying yes to going to Edinburgh Fringe with my mate, as he was a guest player in an improvised Shakespeare piece, was the right decision. There and back in a day, being in the vibe of the city, seeing a brill loud mime street clown and supporting my friend's performance was boss!

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues Hahahaha! #spinaltap

Acorn season is upon us! Yes!!!!! #acorns #oaktrees

This is something new for the Liverpool improv community. An opportunity to try out new work. Boss eh? @livimprovfestival.bsky.social www.liverpoolimprovfestival.com/twopairsofsh...

Artists work with awe, don't they? It's good for you, awe, as well.

I just remembered, in the clown workshop, whilst wearing red noses and other people's hats and clothes, I was burnt at the stake by the Spanish Inquisition.

At another clown workshop today, which was wonderful!One of the other people there is a woman who is gaining 70 new experiences before she is 70. One of which is her competing in battle rap. Here's a short documentary about Joy France, the oldest female battle rapper. youtu.be/Nv_LN2Nq2Es?...

I finish work early on a Friday so went with a mate to look at some art. 1/2 #ModernToss Very funny, very apt for now.

Look at my indoor roses!

Another Adam Curtis interview At a time when the arts are being decimated, especially access to, Adam describes values and strengths of the arts, that of giving voice and language to what is happening currently, with dignity for those it's happening to Hopeful stuff open.spotify.com/episode/3EJB...

One of most entertainingly Roald introductions so far, (I am only on to series two, however). Episode: Neck

For reasons not altogether know to myself, Geezer Butler writing of Ozzy's death, "Four kids from Aston- who'd have thought it, eh?" moves me to tears.

One of the most challenging lessons I've learned on this psychospiritual path.

I love paraphernalia. When I was 8 I carried around a silver cigarette case and pearl handled pen knife, both of which I bought second hand. The latest, a writing case with initials plus X Now the X, could be piratical, 'X marks the spot' for treasure (I quite like that) It's for X-men #nerdymcgeek

Very, very enjoyable research and inspiration. #talesoftheunexpected #atwistinthetale
