Overheard St convo.
"Well he broke into my flat to try to tag me. I locked myself in my bedroom to get away from him. He was so furious, he stole my doorknob. Yeah, fully unscrewed it and took it away with him. I had to meet a stranger in a pub, a friend of his, to get it back."

Help, I'm already seeing ads for shows selling themselves on how personal and relatable they are.

Is this the 1st year #Fringe acts are putting the number of their Instagram followers on posters or is this something from previous years I've refused to notice?
Does anyone know how many people follow Jane Austen? I think there's enough time to out in another poster order...
In the same email, an arts organisation rejected 3 of my scripts, 2 because they need more development and the 3rd because it was too developped.

No two days are alike where I work. Today I was asked two questions within 90 seconds:
1 - "Are you first aid trained? Nothing to worry about but someone might be having a heart attack in the other room" and
2 - "could you identify this substance they've put in our sandwiches?"

So sad the Oscars didn't let Timothy Chalamet do his Oscar speech. He's been practicing in the mirror for months.

It's really depressing to see a Studio Spokesperson call #TheBride! "original". Not only is it not a new story, it's literally a remake of a sequel of an adaptation. I guess "original" now means "IP, but not action".

DID YOU KNOW your Favourite Actor IMPROVISED being in Your Favourite Film?
They weren't actually in the script! They just suggested to the director they be in the film and the director went with it and THE REST IS HISTORY.
Genius!

In a British sitcom, a protagonist is someone whose only friends are their work colleagues, who openly despise them.
In an American sitcom, a loser is someone with a Manhattan apartment and 30-60 sexual partners.

I'm not saying I'm underappreciated at work, but I've been there 7+ years and today, when the DM warned an usher to "watch out for Oliver" with a chair stack in the corridor I was also in, the usher replied "Is Oliver the name of the fire extinguisher?"

The USA kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation they weren't at war. This also happens at the start of Air Force One, who's protagonist Trump has been saying for years is a favourite president of his.
[Overheard at work today.]
Security Guard 1: Who's on tonight?
Beat.
Security Guard 2 (confused): Me and you.
Security Guard 1: I meant the act.
Security Guard 2: Oh. Stewart Copeland.

Eighteen-hour day done. Now for a relaxing weekend of workshifts, a few rehearsals and hopefully 5-10 hours of admin.
There are far fewer original shows than you think, as most are actually based on (often uncredited) successful funding applications.

We're going on tour!
