On This Day: 24th May

Two very different shows in very different venues on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2011

What can you say about Avenue Q? This time at the Bristol Hippodrome, having previously seen it in London five years earlier, and it was still wonderfully joyous, poignant, uplifting, and celebratory.
I think Avenue Q  would have been the first time I'd seen any show that used puppets as characters and the wonder of it was that you very quickly forgot that they were puppets. Even, as in the case of Avenue Q when their handlers are there on stage visibly operating them. They believed they were real and were so unashamedly 'real' that you couldn't not believe in them as well.
Tackling very real issues, that are to our shame still real issues today, including racism, homelessness, anxiety, sexual identity all with a warmth and humour that engages with everyone.
A wonderful, wonderful show. I really should see it again.

in 2019

Burdall's Yard is described as an "intimate, engaging and exploratory space for immersive performance" and is run by Bath Spa University and is the venue used for a lot of the BSU performances during SparkFest, their contribution to the Bath Festival.
It was here that I saw After Party, a two-hander that wonders what might come of two good people meeting at a nightclub and going home together.
Touching on how relationships can develop after a chance meeting and how quickly we open up about ourselves when you meet someone you immediately 'connect' with.
Actually written as a comedy in three acts, it worked remarkably well as the clumsiness and insecurities of the young couple contrasted with the darker elements in their lives that they were either trying to cope with or bury at the nightclub.

Am I A 'YouTuber' Now?

So, this was a post I wrote back in October 2020 but, for some reason never quite finished or published it...🤔 The situation has escalated somewhat since then, in August 2023 my little hobby channel had acquired an astonishing 2,500 subscribers!  I wonder if my musings of three years ago are still valid (I have made some minor edits to the original draft for spelling and grammar) ... Well, it was just a little hobby, to share the fun I was having with my Sims 3 stories and now I've reached the first big 'proper YouTuber' milestone ... 1,000 subscribers!! In December 2015 I uploaded my first ever gameplay video, "Slade Dynasty Chronicles Intro : Sims 3 Lets Play" As ropey as it was, I think I was actually using just the microphone on my cheap-as-chips headset, I actually enjoyed the process of creating videos and the very kind Sims 3 community were encouraging in their support. I experimented with other games and types of video, trying to work out what I most
