Melbourne International Comedy Festival has begun and we're staging MEL McGLENSEY IS NORMAL all month: thru April 19 6:30pm (5:30pm on Sun) Chinese Museum I run the tech live. Audio by David Kanaga. Most cooked clown show you've ever seen (complimentary). www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows...

Poster for Mel McGlensey is Normal. Award laurels at top, logistical info at bottom. Main image is a very close up image of Mel's face making a strange wide eyed toothy grin. "Stop the clown from being weird" is the tagline. Chinese Museum - Jade Room, March 26 - April 19, @melmcglensey.

Super excited to share that I will be attending @playtopia.bsky.social in Cape Town in December! I've heard such good things about the festival. I'll be there giving a talk (playtopiafestival.co.za/program-satu...) and exhibiting a new iteration of Canopy Co-op (doougle.itch.io/canopy-coop)

Wow wowwow. @vidyarajan.bsky.social and I only ever set out to impress Gregs but some of the non-gregs at The Age said some lovely things about the show! Only one week left to catch the show, 9:10pm at The Chinese Mus until the 20th of April!

Two women strike poses with faces direct to camera. One has her arm raised in the air and the other has her hand beneath the chin.

I’ve never really been a numbers or stats person as I think there’s so much that is unquantifiable by that metric. But, having said that, I’d love to take a look back at what has been one of the best years of my life professionally (and personally! But that’s a different post).
