Here we go
@edfringe
God my marketing is becoming banal honestly I’m actually cringing at how many times I’ve had to photoshop fire on a DSM this last 12 months it’s sickening.
I hope I never have to do it again after August, I’m being deadly serious.
Last night I started my show sitting in the audience next to a lovely Dutch gentlemen.
He asked me if I’d seen it before.
I said yes.
He asked me if there was audience participation.
I said yes.
The show started, I stood up we both descended into fits of laughter.
🤌🏼
Hi does anyone want to bail on Edinburgh fringe and put in for a chateau in the Dordogne for a week?
We can just perform our shows to each other in the ballroom.
I worked it out and it’s less money than I’ve already spent.
Hello! plz may i have some help plz?
we is V low on numbers
@edfringe
(don’t worry im not going to cry) but I wonder if u guys might RT to get some people thru the door
@ZOOvenues
(the show is OK, i promise)
here is 2-4-1 tix! 🫡
🎟️
thank u a lot!
IS ANYONE SOBER GOING TO EDINBURGH that im can BE FRIENDS with BECAUSE I can’t drink like a normal person owwwwwwwww 😭😭😭😭😭 if u fancy slamming san pellegrino w me u know where it’s at xxxx squats not shots xxxx
srsly does anyone want to be my friend
for real tho - when you know you have a good fucking show - because you’ve been told it time & time again by your audiences, - but somehow the only validation you accept as truth is from press?
why is that my metric of success? i’m literally doing this for my audiences man
hi
@edfringe
@FringeCentral
i’ve reported abuse on an audience review of my show as it totally annihilates my character, not my work and is therefore personal abuse.
not only is it misguided, ableist and harmful to myself but it’s propagates the stigma i’m trying to fight
halfway through
@edfringe
, and have gained absolutely nothing press or industry wise, but i HAVE stopped caring if my housemates can hear me poo
has it been worth it? absolutely.
do u KNOW WHAT
i came to the fringe full of hope and even tho i very quickly realised this is not what i thought it would be i am still so full of hope because i am here in Scotland with my two best mates in the entire world and that is WOW that is the very best thing ever
i know i was supposed to post the crying photo at the beginning of the fringe but I wasn’t in as much debt then as i am now which is mainly why im crying but maybe if i had posted it then i would be in less debt now
oh well no time like the present
#disruptor
If anyone had told me a year ago I would write a show, produce it, tour it & sell a Friday night out
@brightonfringe
I would have laughed in your face.
I know it might be silly but this show lets me live with myself and I am so grateful for the support we have been met with 🥹
OH MUMMY
THIS FRIDAY SOLD OUT
@brightonfringe
MUMMY do you love me now??????
mummy?
never mind.
JUST A FEW TICKETS LEFT ON THE SATURDAY
Catch me if u can 😏
🎟⛓
I’m going pressless, producerless and fundless after this fringe.
I don’t know how I can be complicit with an industry which i have learned, this month, is fuelled by so many things I call out in my show.
I don’t want theatre reviews anymore. I want Psychiatric reform.
WE OPEN TONIGHT

As i keep saying - if anyone wishes to engage in DISCOURSE with me or challenge my views around my behaviour, my diagnoses and my work - i fully welcome that.

Then I set this book on fire
So now I don’t have BPD but I AM STILL VERY, VERY DANGEROUS
the fringe feels like a zoo, people pay to queue, and pile into hot little rooms just to stare at you for an hour, then go buy some trashy nachos from a food truck only to go queue for another caged spectacle after

Cannot wait to come back in June!
I wanted to simultaneously be sick and jump up at down at the same time when I was saw this review by Ark Safespace. It put me back in my place. I know why I wrote this now. Thank you for letting this happen
@velenzia
@BreadandRosesTC
I will go and be sick again now.
i think this is the best
@TNMNofficial
poster in terms of sexy i look tbh
the other one is good but i look fitter here imo
also all these reviews are not actually real reviews it’s just shit my mum said about me
This last year, I met some of the most kind, generous & exciting souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of crossing my paths with.
I watched your work, your hearts, your tears & all your talent.
To all of you going to Edinburgh -
I LOVE YOU.
You’re already killing it 💚
5 days left til
@edfringe
and i REALLY don’t want to cry on here on Friday when no one comes cos my face swells up and it isn’t sexy and i’ve cried ENOUGH in my life about no one showing up for me then got told it was a mental illness cos it wasn’t sexy so smh
📍
@ZOOvenues
OK then!
Fringe progress report than no one asked for!
10 days later and Scotsman still haven’t published a review so I have given up caring about the elitist press xx
and have ALSO given up caring about if my housemates hear me orgasm in my sleep.
#UnleashYourFringe
xxxxx
I think this is why I’m doing what I’m doing
@TNMNofficial
not withstanding my chilidish urge to get clapped at the end of it all but yeah comments like this mitigate that… I think.
💚
hello everyone that was coming to see
@TNMNofficial
tonight
@edfringe
I’m really sorry to cancel another show but unfortunately when I have to pretend to be NORMAL and do NORMAL things like a fringe festival, it gets a bit loud in here and on fire
thank you
@ZOOvenues
I love u
Beyond excited to announce that
@TNMNofficial
is going to be a part of this season!
Yes SIR we are BACK at the Camden People’s Theatre & THRILLED to be so.

I CANT BELIEVE MY FEET! 🤯
hello anyone who is also sick in Their head can you tell me please how do u write a new show???
i don’t want to write a new show I only want to do THIS show because this show is my friend and i hate everything else im ever going to write because it will never be this show
there were a few queer and meaningful reasons as why i wanted ‘30 and Out’ by
@KitSinclairO
and
@prenticeprods
squeezed IN MY EYES & ears
but after studying this poster properly
i can confirm that ive been turned on by an orange
i’m now both impressed and fully sold

which is a bit ironic given this is coming from a white man
@TheStage

double quadruple dare you to go watch
@TNMNofficial

WHAT IF that mid article by the stage was just triggerbait to get everyone riled up and SUBSCRIBE to read it???
either that or Jordan Peterson is using Fergus Morgan as a pseudonym
(hi Fergus/Jordan sorry for being mean but ur article just made me sad ok)
I’m not even lying my dad phoned me yday and told me he hadn’t wanted to say anything for a while, BUT then asked me, to please consider NOT getting naked on the stage during
@edfringe
Be strong and take heart, father. You’re going to be OK.
That’s Not My Name is something special. Hard to describe, and definitely puts it all out there. But I’ve never seen a show about mental health that is quite so bold and raw

@edfringe
keep the sociopath bit and add 2 stars plz?
RIP
my favourite thing about doing
@TNMNofficial
is meeting mad people, service users & others who have similar experiences of life to me
tonight reminded me why i am doing this show
(also the faces of drunk lads in the audiences thinking they’d come to a comedy gig is a close 2nd)
today i wish no one had to explain themselves to anyone. i wish that we weren’t seduced by the identity of disordering ourselves. i wish that we could see the impact this and we are having on those suffocating below us in the rubble of the infrastructure.
im sad.
