There had to be one. Statistically. One with weird persistent chatty front row hecklers who offer to be your dad then one leaves and then comes back and then storms out 25 mins in. Also festival judg...

Monday I had a day off and walked in the park with my friend Laura Davis, and there was a tree that looked like an elbow. That was good. Aside from that, the show is going very well. My biggest probl...

So I've come to the end of the Adelaide Fringe. I feel like it's been an odd journey - having been grieving for so long had the side effect of making me feel quite numb to the ups and down of performa...

I did mention over on my twitter (@aliterative if you don't already follow me there) that listening to music these days gives me goosebumps. Here is photo-proof that my metaphors are ALWAYS literal an...
