Someone, anyone, ask me a question. As in not for me personally. But for knowledge: e.g. 'do trees have veins' that kind of question or like 'how is weetabix made'

I have been told for many moons (literally years) to start a newsletter for letting folk ken where I'm gigging or what I've been working on. So here it is the first one is 'Chapter 1'

It's free on my Patreon. But u can also choose to subscribe for more content

We also use hansper and creeks for the same thing. If you want some more nouns instead of an acronym.Found this video from me deep in depths of lockdoon explaining them all ✨

I've been hibernating & decompressing from ✨crying on stage everyday✨

Cheers so much to everyone who saw Lein, or any of the shows from the trilogy. Shout-out to the babes who saw all 3 🩷💅

Currently working on a video essay of ALL easter eggz from the trilogy. Have it to u later this week 🦭🌊🦌

Having a lovely time at the fringe. A show of folklore and comedy to illustrate how I got into stand up and the complete existential crisis of the fringe which made me as low as I was before I started. LOL THIS WHY WERE ALL LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW 🫠🩷🦌✨

If you have the time then I recommend @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social show 'lein' (you don't need to have seen the previous 'marj' or 'o' shows, though they were great and might be online).

I thoroughly enjoyed @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social’s ‘Lein’ @pleasance.co.uk last night, completing her trilogy of shows based on personal trauma survived. The Shetland’s is such a brilliant storyteller, drawing the audience into her tales, but leaving them with lots to think about.
