Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I'm going to start loudly exclaiming "This is just like the plot of a bad movie!" when unremarkable things happen e.g. the self-checkout in Tesco acts up. 011

Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 31/08/2026EDINBURGH FRINGE Remember: if you made just one person smile, think or feel, even for just a moment, then it was all worth while. 081
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I went to see TAO OF GLASS at @sohoplace straight after doing some grocery shopping. The security man outside the theatre searched my bag and confiscated a jar of mixed spice. “No glass allowed in the theatre!” he explained. (He returned it to me on the way out.) #TaoOfGlass 030
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 25/08/2026FedEx just messaged me to say that they have my Fringe posters, and could I please come and collect them from their depot near Edinburgh Airport? 010

Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Look, Mum! I’m in print! My show got highlighted by the theatre critic at the Camden New Journal. #tomorrowsfishandchips 040
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 24/07/2026ME (preparing to go to bed): What a brilliant idea I’ve just had. Should I write it down? ME (replying): No need! It’s such a great idea, how could I possibly forget it? 061
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Doing a Buffy rewatch. Just got up to Kendra the Accent Slayer. 110
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I don't really follow football, but I don't understand why I'm not seeing "Y FIFA España" puns everywhere. Seems like an open goal to me. 000
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Matcha, matcha man, yeah I've got to be a matcha man 020
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 16/07/2026We're going cherry picking this weekend. As always, we will harvest both good and bad cherries to achieve a representative sample without prejudice. 050
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It irritates me when I see people misquoting the lyrics to the Jurassic Park theme. The correct words are: 🎵I'm a dinosaur I'm a dinosaur I'm a di-no-saur! 🎵 131
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Writing an Edinburgh show can be a little like assembling a complex puzzle without a guide picture to follow. We are now at the “hammering the pieces in with our fists” stage of the process. 020
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 11/07/2026A sneak peak of this month’s zine: VESTS. If you would like a copy, drop me a dm. #zines #vests 010

Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 06/07/2026C'mon Tintin, Poirot and the Smurfs. Do your stuff. 030
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 06/07/2026If you've never watched House of the Dragon, now's a good time to get into it. Everyone's dead. 020
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 05/07/2026You know what’s popular? Other people getting tattoos. “I was thinking of maybe getting a tattoo.” “Amazing! You definitely should!” “What I had in mind was…” “DO IT.” 000
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Just performed a Fringe preview to an audience of ONE. Not for the first time. This is what happens if you treat comedy as a delightful miracle rather than a serious career path. 040
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 04/07/2026It’s late, and I shouldn’t be awake wondering stuff. But I wonder if Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea is supposed to be a real place and where that is? 100
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Saddest story ever: FOR SALE Baby gun. Fired once. 141
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 29/06/2026“The Ooh Aah bird is so called because it lays square eggs.” One of the greatest joke deliveries of all time. RIP 031
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 28/06/2026OK, here it is: my Makuuchi Division banzuke prediction for the Nagoya basho. I’m still a novice, so be kind to my more idiotic mistakes. You’ll immediately notice that I’ve opted for FOUR sekiwake. A mad decision? Possibly, but it’s such a crowded san’yaku, I didn’t know what else to do. #sumo 000
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Just realised that the July Banzuke will be announced tomorrow, and I haven’t compiled my predictions yet. I’ll get right on that, and post by the end of today. Sorry, everyone. #sumo 010

Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Life seems harsh, and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world. Doctor says: 'Treatment is simple. The great therapist — Pagliacci — is in town. Go see him. Great listener. Empathetic and insightful.' Man bursts into tears. 'But doctor...' 010
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Hooray to the Durham Fringe Festival for having separate Comedy, Theatre, and Comedy Theatre listings. 000
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 25/06/2026It could be worse. Imagine if it were this hot and we hadn’t decimated the insect population. 031
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Look out for my new Edinburgh show: Michael Brunström Invites an Audience Member on Stage for a "Bit", Gives them Deliberately Incomplete Instruction on What they're Supposed to Do, and We all Laugh while they Struggle. 050
Michael Brunström @michaelbrunstrom.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Massive PWYW comedy festival this weekend near London Bridge. All to support a more diverse and accessible Edinburgh Fringe. 032
