Jason Thurston

A sign attached to a lamppost on the Royal Mile reads; "No unauthorised Shakespeare soliloquies at any time." Do not fret!

Thankfully, my Shakespearean soliloquies are all authorised by @secretagency.bsky.social.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

And on that note, the third edition of #JasonThurston'sActingMasterClasswithJasonThurston at the #EdinburghFestivalFringe2025 was another unequivocal success. There were tears, laughter (in the right places), and, of course, numerous important lessons learned. Today, I will teach the press. Join me!

A cracking view of Loch Lomond through a large window in a posh hotel restaurant.

On the plus side, I was given that packet of butter by my super agent, @secretagency.bsky.social, after he had driven me to #LochLomond in celebration of a fantastic edition of #JasonThurston'sActingMasterClasswithJasonThurston last night. I currently have a cracking view!

Professional actor Jason Thurston holds a packed of Dromond butter in his left hand at a breakfast table.

Everywhere I go, I am reminded of him. This spelling is different from his surname, but the triggering sentiment still remains.

Professional actor Jason Thurston holds a green gemstone in his left thumb and forefinger on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

The second #JasonThurston'sActingMasterClasswithJasonThurston took place yesterday and was hugely successful. One particularly enthusiastic gentleman offered me a gemstone in lieu of payment. The #EdinburghFringeFestival2025 is so quirky!

Four clocks line a wall. One shows the time in Edinburgh. One shows New York. One shows Moscow. And, the final one shows Sydney. Edinburgh and Moscow are of interest to professional actor Jason Thurston.

I often wonder how Yelena is getting on when I see reminders like this. She would have just finished her lunch in Moscow. I am just about to eat mine in Edinburgh. Our current time difference is very much noticeable.

Sideshow Mel stands up and yells in a vintage episode of "The Simpsons" (1989-Present). The episode is being shown on a television inside a restaurant that specialises with Chicken Wings.

And, I am not sure if Carlsberg create pre-stage rituals, too but if they did, they would have created today's one. Chicken Wings, The Simpsons, and Kaiser Chiefs were even playing in the background over a loud speaker. Top stuff!

One #JasonThurston'sActingMasterClasswithJasonThurston down. Six more to go. It was a pleasure to bestow my lessons upon the older generations this evening. One of my students even worked on #TheDeep! When generations collide, sparks fly.

I am proud to identify as an atheist, but I must still commend the post below with this word, simply put:

Amen.

Note to self:

Do NOT use the line at airport security that is headed up by a man who looks like a 1960's-era James Bond villain. He will remove everything from your rucksack, so you have to repack everything all over again. At least he caught a glimpse of my personality in the process, though!

This quote is a fantastic way to start my #EdinburghFestivalFringe2025 experience. I am an exceptionally committed professional actor, but a day without a smile is a day wasted, as a famous man once almost said.

It has been a very early start for me today. 5am, in fact. Good morning, everybody!

Official posters for Jason Thurston's Acting MasterClass with Jason Thurston placed up on a fence somewhere in Edinburgh.

But, in other news, I have been informed that my posters have been popping up around Edinburgh. I will finally see them in person tomorrow!

#edfringe #DareToDiscover #LearnFromMeThere #ActingLife

It took me three attempts to make this post, just now. I really need to get some sleep before I fly to this year's #EdinburghFestivalFringe first thing tomorrow morning.

A box of puddings contains text that reads, "NOT FOR EU," which, when read aloud, sounds an awful lot like saying, "NOT FOR YOU." Top stuff. I am tired.

Well, who are they for, then, if they are not for me?

#DadJokes #DadHumour #ItHasBeenALongWeek #ActingLife

Now, I must catch the train back to Woking. I am not back home for long, though, as I travel to Edinburgh tomorrow morning for the @edfringe.bsky.social. You can all join me there, if you like?

I have just completed working on a week-long Mediterranean cruise. I find my lack of sunburn to be an unequivocal success.

There were certainly none of these, on this occasion.

I do this, too. Somebody once pointed out to me, wisely, that the word, "like," should be replaced by the word, "acknowledge," on social media. I must say that I tend to agree with them.

Here is yet another word that I did not know existed before today.

#Wordle #IfYouKnowYouKnow #Impressive #ActingLife

I have not watched an episode of #SouthPark since about 2002, but once I heard what their latest episode was about, I had to watch it. And, wow. Those writers have certainly got some courage, that is for sure!

Promotion for #Barbenheimer has gotten way out of control.

Very fair point. Ozzy Osbourne was definitely not someone that you could describe as "woke," was he?

Woah, dude! Too soon!

A photo of Jeff Lynne has been superimposed onto a box of Lindt chocolates. Jeff Lindt is the joke.

I saw this, and then I just had to share this. Get well soon, @jefflyne.bsky.social. I would love to see you rock on live again one day.

#JeffLindt #DadJokes #DadHumour #ActingLife

I will definitely be using this fact in the future.

He will find a way out of it. The weasels always do.

There is something quite cat-like about him. It is all in the eyes.

Jimmy Nail at the Maple Leaf pub in London. He was staring, unrelentingly, into the distance. Goodness knows what he was doing (and thinking about) in that Canadian-themed pub.
