Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process

I know we’re only a week into 2025 but I’m already on the hunt for Scottish comedy gigs in February 🪩 Giz a dm or an email if you’ve got something in the pipeline.
A ginger and white cat sits on a white windowsill opposite some houses. It is sunny outside and the sky is bright blue. There are only a few clouds. The cat is called Scampi and he is here for the algo.

Treasure Island at @lyceumedinburgh.bsky.social is gorgeous, especially if you want to take kids to a Christmas-flavoured show that’s not a panto. It’s funny and adventurous, and it’s got great songs played with inventive live music. Plus, there’s a cool puffin.

Halfway through my annual listen of The Dark is Rising on @bbcsounds.bsky.social and thought I’d flag to anyone after a new tradition. Beautifully made (thanks Complicité and @bbcworldservice.bsky.social), magical and a sprinkle of festive menace for all ❄️ shorturl.at/a2iQv
Screenshot from BBC sounds with the Title Card for The Dark is Rising, a radio dramatisation of Susan Cooper’s cult novel. The image features a black horse with red eyes and a boy on its back galloping over the pages of an open book with trees springing from the pages. The pages on the left of the book glow orange whilst the right glow sea-blue. The background goes from inky blue at the top, fading horizontally to white at the bottom.

Has your train ever been cursed to live a life as an evil pig?
A white and red train with glowing red lights and an exhaust which looks like a snout which overall gives the impression of an evil pig
