Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Jan was one of my first London friends. We met at a MetaFilter meetup in Cambridge in 2006, and shared a wide range of experiences in the years that followed. She will be missed. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 12/08/2026A friend’s colander is working very well for eclipse-watching. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It was a real treat to see Cole Escola in Oh, Mary! tonight. 051
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Very pleased to have done the 4 km swim at Swim Rutland this morning. The setting is beautiful (here’s a photo that I took of some of it yesterday evening), it was organised really well, and it was the right kind of challenge. And it meant a weekend in the country! 130
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I’m really glad to have been a part of London Trans+ Pride again today, with good friends (and so many thousands of people overall). 031
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Last night’s Edinburgh preview of the new @awkwardprods.co.uk show Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella was outstanding. The show is both serious and fun, with a lovely mix of vulnerability, strength and humour. It’s well worth seeing at the Fringe. 162
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Pride really was wonderful. I’m so glad finally to have seen it today. 040
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 04/07/2026That’ll do:) I’m always impressed by the well-applied face glitter. 110
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Thinking of you and your family. Thank you for sharing your memories here. 010
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 04/06/2026VERY excited to have picked up a hard-copy @edfringe.bsky.social programme today, Thank you, @sohotheatre.bsky.social! (Yes, the cover has a slight tear.) It’s very big this year, but I look forward to digesting it. My first 16 shows are already booked. Any recommendations/ shows to promote? 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 02/06/2026After a few near misses over the years, I finally caught Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum With Expats tonight. I’m very glad that I did. 000
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 01/06/2026At my Canadian school, they were part of the Grade 9 keyboarding (i.e.typing, taught on electric typewriters) curriculum, expressed with two single dashes in a row. They appeared very frequently in the work that we had to type and hand in. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 27/05/2026We still have space at Show Off! this Friday night (at The Square Pig in Holborn, central London). Doors open at 18:45 and there will be live music (with one break from 19:30 to 23:00). There will be air conditioning, and plenty of lovers of musical theatre. Join us? More info in bio. 043
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I’d say go for it! It’s an experience. I’ve done on-stage seating for Spring Awakening, The Fantasticks and (sort-of) for Equus. (There may be others as well.). It has always been worth it. RENT is a wonderfully high-energy, high-emotions show. Being so close would be a bonus. 030
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 17/05/2026The High Life last night was such a delight: the show is fantastic and the energy levels on stage and in the audience were top-notch. The journey to Glasgow was definitely worthwhile. 050
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 12/05/2026The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind was great tonight. It is well worth a visit. 031
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 02/05/2026It was an absolutely gorgeous day for my first open-water swim of the season. 130
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 30/04/2026It’s not often that material from a show one night contains the answer to a question in a quiz the following night. So thank you Ed Gamble! 010
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Great to see Copenhagen tonight, around 25 years after my first (and only other) viewing. It’s well worth seeing. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Unsurprisingly, John Proctor is the Villain was absolutely brilliant tonight. 110
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It was really exciting to see American Psycho at the Almeida Theatre on Monday night. Excellent show. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 02/02/20265 classes you took in university: Existentialism Goethe & Romanticism Social Psychology Conflict of Laws Psychiatry and the Law (A confusing mix? Maybe.) 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 19/01/2026My fifth show of 2026 involved a bit of a field trip - but it was well worth it. I’m glad - finally - to have caught The Last Ship, in a new production. 030
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 06/01/2026It’s very normal to run out to the supermarket just for toilet roll and ice cream, right? 120
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 31/12/2025The year has by no means been fun or easy all of the time - and I’m not even sure that tonight is going to be fun or easy - but I’m feeling motivated for 2026 at the moment. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I saw more than 100 shows in 2025. There was a lot more comedy this year, but also lots of musical theatre, roughly matched by plays, and quite a few shows that defied categorisation. Seeing them all has made my life much richer, and I hope that it has also helped to inspire me to create in 2026. 130
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Why, in 2025, are opticians separating frames by gender in their displays? 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I think that you would have enjoyed the third! Very glad to have shared the first two with you, at least. x 110
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 07/12/2025If you had told me that I would see shows in three different London theatres in 2025 in which the principal performer would crowd surf, I would have been very surprised. But here we are - and all three shows have been fantastic. 110
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Congratulations! I’m still in the queue after 39 minutes (with 1,543 people ahead of me). I guess the random number allocated to me was a high one. 100
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 22/10/2025It has been really lovely to have Show Off! back up and running again - and especially brilliant to be reunited with so many lovely people. One more to go this year - on 14 November- and then, with any luck, several more in 2026. Here: Matthew Gent, Robert Hazle and Tasha Sheridan on 26 September. 021
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I finally saw Ohio tonight, at the Young Vic. It was brilliant. It’s well worth a visit. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 26/09/2025It’s tonight! Very excited to be bringing Show Off! back (again) - and also quite conscious that it is going to be a very busy day. 031
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Tonight’s show was Every Brilliant Thing, with Sue Perkins. It was fantastic. 040
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Some exciting professional news: Show Off! is returning in September! Matthew Gent and Tasha Sheridan will be co-hosting, with Robert Hazle at the piano. I will undoubtedly mention this again between now and then:) 031
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Normal levels of theatre activity will resume next week - and there is certainly a daunting mountain of admin to be handled in the meantime - but it has been very strange going from the wonderful overstimulation of the Fringe to a very quiet and largely theatre-free late summer week in London. 020
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 18/08/2025There are other shows that I saw in previews here in London that were wonderful but that didn’t make my list of Fringe favourites. 030
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 18/08/2025… - @lesliegold.bsky.social’s Tall Girl Energy - @alisonspittle.bsky.social’s BIG and three very different solo shows at @traversetheatre.bsky.social: - She’s Behind You by/with Johnny McKnight - Lucky Tonight! by/with Afreena Islam-Wright - I’m Ready To Talk Now by/with Oliver Ayres 230
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Some Fringe highlights for me were: - The Ego, by Verona Verbakel and Anemone Valcke - Graham Back in the Green by @ivograham.bsky.social - Stuart Laws is Stuck by @stuartlawscomedy.bsky.social - KINDER by Ryan Stewart - Rose + Bud by Rose Coogan… 120
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 18/08/2025I made it back to the Edinburgh Fringe this year as a punter, seeing 25 shows in 3 1/2 days last week. I absolutely loved it, despite the exhaustion that came with it. 140
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 18/08/2025The summer fun is largely over now. The coming weeks and months are likely to be action-packed, with plenty of cause for anxiety, but I’m also looking forward to lots of things. I will likely be a bit more present here going forward. 010
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 21/07/2025The weather was mixed, but it was nevertheless great to fit in a swim at the West Reservoir today. 040
Sue Knox @thisstage.bsky.social · 20/07/2025It was great to be dancing with friends at the Rivoli again tonight, for the first time in far too long. 040
