Spend an hour w/ @lauradaviscomic tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o…, expertly shape-shifting flights of fancy, wonderful jokes & stories embedded within a beautiful construction of a show, whose structure reveals itself almost magically, with passion, power and honesty #edfringe 2024

Terrific wall of melodic noise/joy/electro intensity with @MandyIndiana at @BrickMortarSF - great band and fantastic sounding venue, highly recommend both !

Beautiful show by @LoyleCarner at @GAMH , gracious, generous performance by an artist and band who seemed so very happy to be there, appreciative and vocal audience - a treat to see Carner in such an intimate venue

So much energy, charisma and musical goodness w/ @roisinmurphy at the @wiltern, supercaffeinated choreography, such a crackling show

Just go and see @Youngfathers - so lucky to catch last night at @elreytheatre in LA - they infuse every show with ferocious intensity to match their supremely diverse catalog, grateful to experience that generosity in performance - @callumeaster's opening set was sublime. Magic.

Thank you so much to @floatingpoints, @shabakah and the many other musicians and crew who brought such a transcendent evening of 'Promises' together - the waxing and waning of motifs was heartbreaking, beautiful & humane - unforgettable, living-breathing, time-arresting. Bravo

Great @davidmbarnett @ObserverUK #douglasadams article had me reread Adam's prescient thoughts on AI, screens, connection, limitations, happiness & technology from an interview we did 25(!) yrs ago, if you are interested you can read/DL here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/28203…   #42 #hhgttg

Amusements by @ikeminded at #EdFringe one of the first shows I saw this year, surreal, subversive, such a quirky quixotic sense of space & timing - impeccable and disarmingly odd, I absolutely loved this show and how Ufomadu approaches performance tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o…

Weaving the most wonderful freestyle flights of fancy from audience stories - @mc_hammersmith's mind works at light speed and he is unafraid to take risk in the moment, pulling the audience along with joy & gusto. So much fun ! #EdFringe

LORENZO is a heartbreaking deeply personal show about mortality, care, love, loss, family, remembering, yet brimming full of life and humour, @BenTarget performs with honesty and empathy, deeply affecting, uniquely alive #EdFringe @Summerhallery tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o…

Funeral by @1OntroerendGoed is a beautifully generous work of empathy, art, performance and theatre - perfectly staged, it will live on with me well beyond the show I was lucky to attend with my daughter. If you are in Edinburgh for #edfringe try and see this at @ZOOvenues #ZOO23

Exceptional, visceral storytelling, Beautiful Evil Things is mesmerizing - @TheatreAdInf 's @passengerpugg brings the Trojan War to life, the cast of godly and mortal characters played with tremendous vigour, pathos, humour - a remarkable illuminating experience @edfringe

My daughter(14) loved the show, asked for any recs for further reading, @passengerpugg might you advise anything that's resonated with you and your collaborators ? ( I found this for example theguardian.com/books/2022/s… )

If looks could kill: how Medusa became a potent political meme

Medusa has become the default allegory for a hated woman in the public eye, but those who fear her lethal gaze would do well to revisit the myth

High energy comic chaos by @lornlornlors performed with gusto summoning a swathe of compelling quirky characters, surreal sketches, outstanding jokes, generous engagement with the crowd, an underlying confidence & charm, an hour of wonder. Go ! #edfringe @EdFringe @ThePleasance

Magical music sounds scaped by @LucreciaDalt at the @TheChapelSF , one of the best albums of the past year with a totally captivating performance, both Dalt and percussionist such great collaborators and performers, rush to hear them if you can

A beautiful testament to the power of music & performance to engage, build community and transcend time, @MyBrightestDmnd crafts stories in soaring songs that beguile and entrance, so lucky to experience her show at #BigEarsFestival, see her if you can

I traveled to @elyseemofficiel to witness the most pitch perfect of performances by @Youngfathers , they perform with passion and joy, I can't think of another band that palpably radiates such creative energy

Go and see @porridgeradio live if you can, what a phenomenal concert experience at @rickshawstopsf , the songs come alive and the albums become stronger for it. What a fantastic trick to pull off, wonderful.

With “who is me” @phlaimeaux spins sublime musical yarns from the everyday, wielding a lyrical turn of phrase he crafts beautifully observed, shambolic comedic flights of fancy, turning mundane to magic. If you like to smile, see #DavidODoherty tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… #EdFringe
