Pt 3 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 where @DanielLammin asks what the fucking point of art is - and may have made me cry with his answer.

Pt 3 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 where Ash Flanders @OneStepOut asks "Can chronic narcissists be grateful?"and wanders a graveyard.

Pt 2 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 with @FleurKilpatrick, who has used all the tools in her artist's belt in the last couple years, & she didn't burn down her caravan late at night . #IndieTheatre #IndieMedia @RiverlandYouthT sometimesmelbourne.blogspot.…
Pt 2 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 with @little_ones . #IndieTheatre is still happening #IndieMedia are still here. This series had a break last year, but we've still been making & creating & it's awesome to hear what artists have been up to. sometimesmelbourne.blogspot.…
MY BRILLIANT CAREER @LaMamaTheatre is a refreshingly complex & engaging telling of the book, which comes from an understanding that loves & questions Miles Franklin. With a wonderful cast. Finishes on Sunday. I really hope it gets another season.
It's been a while but #WhatMelbourneLoved21 is back with your favourite long-time contributors telling us what they loved about theatre in 21 ( & 20) Part 1 with @BarkingSpiderTh @burstsgnlsymfny sometimesmelbourne.blogspot.…
It’s about to Zoom. #MelbFringe #ArtGuidesTheWay. See what artists do with piles of useless Fringe Guides. Tix are free. Get them on the Fringe site. Who’s going?
Captivating exciting new writing. #cactus @LaMamaTheatre captures the authentic voice & experience of teenage woman with an understanding that never dismisses or trivialises as it reflects on fertility in ways that reach through generations. & best description of a dick ever.

Just home from @VictorianOpera's #Lorelei. If there's a smarter, funnier, more melodious overhaul of myth in opera, I haven't seen it. Three superb singers, glorious design and a tonal control that can undercut the myth's romanticism while celebrating it. Don't miss this!!

Poignantly bittersweet, endlessly entertaining and fiercely rich musically, @VictorianOpera’s Lorelei is fucking (😬 definitely not short on its own use of expletives) everything you want from theatre. What a joy it is to have it back and could very well be one for eons to come.
Exquisite. Fucking exquisite. #Lorelei @VictorianOpera is mind-blowing feminist anti-opera opera that’s made from all the heart, hope & despair of all women’s stories. I wanted to cry & cheer & scream & squeal. Seriously unmissable.

Midsumma show F*ck Fabulous is exhilarating variety that celebrates every kind of queerness, says @SometimesMelb. @midsumma

I'm thrilled to be in @witnessperform & talking about the #MICF show that I saw twice because @LouisaWall10 is that good, & a total Melbourne Independent Celebratory Feminist. This one will be seen again. Don't hesitate.
"The last time I felt so devastated after a comedy show was the first time I saw Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette." @SometimesMelb on Lou Wall's @micomfestival show That One Time I Joined The Illuminati.

Get your ticket now b4 @LocalCollins #ImNotAMime @butterflyclub #MICF books out. As queer, positive and embracing as it is absurd, non-sensical, enlightening and smart. Makes me want to write #ImNotACritic

Personal and precise; @LocalCollins creates the tightest hour of their career and fills it to the brim with subtext galore. A perfected articulation of where they currently are in terms of comedy and life #micf #show84
Last #MICF weekend! You can still buy a shovel & see @blakeverett @OliverLColeman #DTOG. It buries the rest. It piles up the laughs. Dig deep to find a way to see it. Be gravely disappointed if you miss it.

Yesterday, I said I saw this a while ago. I didn’t. It was another show. However, I have no doubt that this one is just as awesome. #NeverTrustACritic except when we tell you a #MICF artist is worth seeing!
Sold out last night, sold out tonight, thurs fri and sat are sold out. Tickets only available tomorrow and Sunday but there's decent wack of them so go for your life! #micf @micomfestival
Have I mentioned that a #MICF night @butterflyclub is something you have to do at least once. The only issue is that so many shows are selling out.
