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'

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 β€˜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.

Aw thank you so much for this! Means a lot and thank you for coming too πŸ₯°πŸ¦Œ

If you love folk tales and comedy, I recommend @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social's thoughtful and wonderful show "Lein" at the Edinburgh Fringe.
