Just found an Edinburgh Fringe theatre ticket in my coat pocket. What I wouldn’t give to be back in that room full of sleepless strangers drinking plastic pints and watching something full of life.

Karen Pirie on @itv led by @LlaurenLyle is Such. Good. Television. Lauren gives a *literally* faultless performance of @MissEmerKenny’s brilliant writing. We need another series, like yesterday. Congrats to all involved, I totally loved it. Karens are back. #KarenPirie

God I love the Fringe. Just had the most perfect stupid spontaneous life-affirming five days there. If you can, just go. Meet new people and drink plastic pints and watch brave performers make something ephemeral and joyous. X.

Absolutely would not be where I am, or doing what I love to do, without the opportunity given to me by Terry when I was starting out. He made joyous, unmissable and inspiring theatre and was kind, mysterious and brilliant. He will be missed by our community hugely. Thank you, T.

Genuinely struggling to find the words to describe watching The Father by Florian Zeller. Haven’t felt as much as that in a long time. The performances and script are properly extraordinary. I’m so glad cinemas are open again. And dark. So nobody can see my tear-soaked mask. Go!
