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.

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

Just watched Superman, there @jonburkeuk.bsky.social

This might sound a bit odd, but are the myths edging closer?

Last week I took part in a two day workshop called, How to woo the audience being a potato: The art of captivating the audience by being a clown By Madame Senorita It was revelatory plus very funny. Keyword:building Then the next night watching her show, incredible! Go and watch/work with her.

Another Adam Curtis interview for you here, with exploration of politicians use of laughter, comedians and a new term for me 'kayfabe'. youtu.be/ry8jwFWiOlw?...

Adam Curtis interview, which left me simultaneously sated and wanting to hear more. (And my thoughts, I've copied from my insta to keep the words, in lieu of a word count)

The Liverpool Barry Norman here. There are no spoilers just me reflecting on duchenne laughing with 28 Years Later. 1/2

Have you watched, Hammer House of Horrors Tales of the Unexpected Armchair Thrilller Sapphire & Steel Are there episodes/ moments that have stayed with you? If you have friends who could answer, please feel free to share. It's for some interesting research I'm doing Add/dm your memories to me 😊

The phrase, it blew my socks off, has surfaced for me but because it has fallen out of general parlance, I'm doubting that it is correct, (when something sounds wrong).

When I graduated in 2023 from Dramatherapy Masters at Roehampton, I decided it was too good an opportunity not to do this. youtu.be/3cKUppvjJuw?...

I wrote my upcoming verse novel Hekate inspired by ancient Greek poet and playwright Euripides’ structure. I loved writing this book and was bereft when I finished it. It’s one of those stories that lingers - an intimating goddess of necromancy telling us her origins.

This book! Animal Joy: A Book of Laughter and Resuscitation by Nuar Alsadir Nuar, a Psychoanalyst, Mother, Poet, and student of clowning, explores laughter through those lenses. If you've heard me being enthusiastic about Duchenne laughter, it's from this. Being your True Self, the revolutionary act

It's wonderful hearing, You'll Never Walk Alone, sang by thousands of people, drifting up from the docks to my living room.

Theatre pals. What sites do you access theatre online, if you do watch in that manner? Thank you!
