Happy Super Bowl, especially to all the Australians who’ll get a dirty little chuckle at all their American friends spending the day enthusiastically rooting*

Blimey, the @edfringe.bsky.social programme launches next week. (The first bit anyway)

Was too much to type in the box but I saw the most wonderful piece of theatre at the Edinburgh Fringe last night. It’s finished its run now but I urge anyone to see it if they get the chance in future! No apologies, was something truly special. @edfringefocus.bsky.social @summerhallarts.bsky.social

Running until 23 August, it is a drama set within the framework of a musical comedy show – a meta-theatrical piece that exposes how the comedy industry both causes psychological harm and then silences those who suffer from it. Gwen's experience, that trauma is not just about an act or event but its lasting impact on people's lives, health and wellbeing, is resonating with many women at the festival.

Flyers for "Singin' I'm No a Billie, She's a Tim" stuck into windscreen wipers and also plastered over other performers poster. Unacceptable, the @edfringe.bsky.social has rules for flyers and promotion.
